Gene G. Chandler (born June 28, 1947) is a Republican politician in the U.S. state of New Hampshire.
[5][6][7] On October 6, 2010, the Conway Daily Sun reported that Chandler would run for Speaker again if the Republicans retook the House of Representatives in the 2010 elections.
Chandler easily took the number one GOP slot in the primaries earlier in the year, and received more votes than any other candidate in his district.
Under New Hampshire State Law, money raised by such an organization cannot be used for election purposes, but is instead used to cover other expenses.
Acknowledging he made a mistake, Chandler pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor for violating RSA 640:5 Gifts to Public Servants, for failure to file financial information with the State.
Chandler was reelected during the Attorney General's investigation and had the confidence of Speaker W. Douglas Scamman.
On September 9, 2005, The Conway Daily Sun ran an article announcing that the corn roasts, now "Gene's Fall Family Fun Picnic", would continue as normal on September 11, 2005, with the cost still $10 to attend, and Rep. Chandler asserted it was "200 percent legal."
