ROCHESTER — Terence M. O’Rourke, 39, of Alton, has hired Scott Ferson and The Liberty Square Group to run his campaign for Congress in the First District of New Hampshire. Ferson, a former press secretary and issues director for the late U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D – Mass.), has three decades of campaign experience, including working in Iowa and New Hampshire for presidential candidate Richard Gephardt. He has worked to elect congressional candidates across New England and played a pivotal role in helping to guide U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton (D – Mass.) to a surprising victory in 2014. In addition, O’Rourke for Congress has brought on Eric Chast, also of Liberty Square Group, to lead fundraising operations. Chast brings a decade of fundraising experience for successful candidates across the region. “In this political era, New Hampshire needs a candidate who can bring radical competence to Washington. The same radical competence I’ve brought to each stage of my career in public and military service, I expect to be reflected in the campaign team we’re building. We now have the team we need to win and to renew the faith of voters in New Hampshire’s First Congressional District that competence in Washington, D.C., is still possible.”
