| Businessman Bill Binnie |
When presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump returns to New Hampshire on Monday, he will give a speech and then attend a high-priced campaign fundraiser hosted by the owner of one of the state’s broadcast television stations.
Businessman Bill Binnie made his money in the plastics industry before running unsuccessfully for the US Senate in 2010. After losing, he re-launched a local television station and began broadcasting television news and radio news over a number of local stations under the name NH1 in 2014.
But politics didn’t end when he began to own media companies. As owner of the station, he once served as the state Republican Party treasurer. Presently, Binnie’s right-hand aide serves as the state Republican Party’s vice chairman. In 2015, one of his television news anchors endorsed the Republican mayor of the state’s largest city for re-election. That mayor, Ted Gatsas, is now a Republican candidate for governor. Gail Huff, the wife of former US senator Scott Brown, is a special correspondent, who interviewed Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker while Walker was wooing Brown for his endorsement in the Republican presidential primary.
