"I believe I can best carry out his ideas, his unfinished work and our joint convictions. Perhaps Styles used better words. He used to say He has a queer way of dealing with Communists."

Doloris Bridges
Doloris Bridges, widow of 25-year U.S. Senator H. Styles Bridges, was the first woman to seek election to the U.S. Senate from New Hampshire. Considered an example of staunchly anti-communist women who emerged as leaders during the Goldwater era of the Republican Party in the mid-1960s, she died of cancer before the decade was over, without ever winning office.
"I believe I can best carry out his ideas, his unfinished work and our joint convictions. Perhaps Styles used better words. He used to say He has a queer way of dealing with Communists."
"Bridges goes on to state she believes in the free enterprise system, that they need to stem the tide of creeping socialism, and that she will fight for individual and states rights."
