New Hampshire State Rep. Julie Brown, who is now serving her tenth term in office, has thrown her support behind former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and his race for the White House.

"I believe Mike Huckabee has the moral character and vision to lead our country, and he espouses everything I believe in; God, country, and family," said Brown. "I am proud to endorse his candidacy for President of the United States."

Brown was one of only two Strafford County Republicans to be voted into a statehouse seat during the November election -- the first time since 1874 that Democrats took control of both chambers. She sits on the Children and Family Law Committee.

Huckabee's other Strafford County endorsements are former county finance chairman Dan Philbrick and Sheriff Wayne Estes.

"I am honored to have Representative Julie Brown's endorsement," Huckabee said. "She has been a true Republican leader in Strafford County -- and I'm deeply gratified to see the caliber of support that my campaign is attracting. I look forward to working with Julie and the other members of our Strafford County leadership team toward a successful primary day in the Granite State."
