William Bryk

Last updated

William Bryk (born March 12, 1955) was born and raised in upstate New York near Albany. He is an elected public official in the Town of Antrim, New Hampshire and the Contoocook Valley School District, a journalist, horseman, a lawyer admitted to practice in New Hampshire and New York, and perennial candidate. [1] Before Bryk left his former residence in Brooklyn, New York, he took advantage of the Constitutional requirement that candidates for U.S. Senator or U.S. Representative live in the state in which they are campaigning by the day of the general election. This allowed Bryk to run in the primaries without ever visiting the state. [2] Bryk generally ran in races that lacked a credible Democratic candidate. [3]
