Ashooh, who is running for the Republican nomination in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District, will respond to questions about the growing national debt and the fiscal and economic policies he would pursue if elected. Key topics are likely to include Social Security, health care, tax reform, national defense, and domestic investments.
The half-hour program will be broadcast tomorrow on the NH1 website. Segments of the interview will air Sunday on WBIN-TV, 99.1 NH1 News, and WEMJ 1490 AM. A video of the entire program will be available later on the NH1 website. Paul Steinhauser, political director and anchor for NH1, will conduct the interview.
Viewers can submit questions beforehand on Twitter to @NH1News using #FiscalFriday.
Ashooh was a senior executive at BAE Systems and subsequently served as interim executive director of the Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership and Public Service at the University of New Hampshire School of Law.
Fiscal Fridays — a project of the Campaign to Fix the Debt, The Concord Coalition and NH1 — gives Granite State voters the opportunity to hear candidates for federal office discuss their views on fiscal policy in detail. The next program will interview Republican Senate candidate Jim Rubens on June 17.
Late last year and earlier this year the series featured presidential candidates in both parties. Ashooh is the first congressional candidate to appear in the series.
