William H Binnie

Heads the Portsmouth-based Carlisle Capital Corp., a real-estate investment and advisory firm, confirmed he is "actively exploring" a run for the seat to be left vacant by Judd Gregg next year. Binnie, the owner and president of the Wentworth By The Sea Country Club and owner/driver of an auto-racing team, has never run for public office. According to sources, he would base a campaign on his business experience and frustration with Washington and the political establishment if he decides to become a candidate.
