The fifth-top ranking Democrat in the state House of Representatives has emerged as a contender to be a US marshal in the Barack Obama administration.
Penacook Democratic State Rep. Steve Shurtleff confirmed that he’s interested in replacing former Goffstown Police Chief Steve Monier who was the New Hampshire’s marshal for most of President George W. Bush’s eight years in office.
Shurtleff is a 26-year veteran of the marshal service and rose up to the rank of supervisory deputy under Marshal Raymond Gagnon during Bill Clinton’s years in the White House.
Some had assumed given his federal retirement that Shurtleff, 61, wasn’t looking to get back into federal employ but he’d take the assignment if asked to.
Shurtleff, a Concord native and Concord City Councilor, is an assistant majority leader who would have to leave his House seat if given the federal post.
Another lawmaker some Democrats are talking up is House Majority Floor Leader Daniel Eaton, D-Stoddard, who served as a small town police chief for many years in Cheshire County.
Other Democrats were talking up State Police Sgt. Bruce Twyon who is on Gov. John Lynch’s security detail but Twyon is staying put in state services, sources said.
