NH-GOV: NHDP launches ad blitz against Kelly Ayotte (R) for backing State Rep Jon Stone (Would-be mass shooter)
The New Hampshire Democratic Party launched a new digital ad campaign on Monday targeting leading Republican gubernatorial candidate Kelly Ayotte for her ongoing association with State Representative Jon Stone.
The ad highlights a shocking report involving Stone, whose career in law enforcement ended after he reportedly threatened to kill fellow officers and commit acts of sexual violence against a police chief’s family. Despite these allegations, detailed by InDepthNH over two weeks ago, Ayotte has not disavowed Stone’s endorsement. His name continues to appear on her endorsement page, and their campaign photos remain active on social media.
NHDP Chair Ray Buckley criticized Ayotte’s silence and continued association with Stone, stating, “Kelly Ayotte is proudly standing by the endorsement of a man who threatened a shooting spree and sexual violence over New Hampshire police officers and families. Her refusal to renounce Jon Stone’s endorsement and condemn his abhorrent behavior is utterly disgraceful and completely disqualifying.”
This marks the first series of ads by the NHDP this campaign cycle aimed directly at Ayotte, emphasizing her alleged willingness to prioritize political ambitions over the safety and respect of local law enforcement and their families.
