John Vail
Running for: US Senate
John Vail is a lesser-known candidate in New Hampshire. He writes on his website, "What not who is the point. . . . as I’ve said. Nothing else. The point is to reclaim our government out of the hands of wealthy elites and the corporations they control. So everything here aims to propel enough of us into actions that head that way. It is a direct, non-violent approach to putting the citizenry in charge of government and creating a legacy those who follow deserve."
