Playing Up Name, Bullock Connects to NH History

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock has signed up for the New Hampshire primary, joking that he deserved a discount on the filing fee for sharing a name with the man who started the state's tradition more than a century ago.

Candidates sign up to get on the ballot at a desk that belonged to Stephen A. Bullock, a farmer and state lawmaker who wrote the 1913 bill that established the state's first presidential primary. His great-granddaughter, Sybil Dupuis, was there Tuesday to greet candidate Stephen C. Bullock, who greeted her as his "aunt" and suggested they should get DNA tests to see if they're actually related.

While he lags far behind the Democratic front-runners, he emphasized his ability to win and produce results in a state that favored President Donald Trump.
