Fred Karger to Campaign on Middle Street

Republican presidential candidate Fred Karger will return to Portsmouth on Saturday for a precinct walk. He plans to go door-to-door with supporters, giving away Fred Frisbees and talking to voters. 

According to a press release, he'll also be "serenaded by incredible bagpipe music all the way," so it shouldn't be hard to hear him coming.

Kevin Miniter, a spokesman for Karger's campaign, said Thursday afternoon that the candidate will be meeting up with supporters at 499 Middle St. at 11 a.m. Saturday, and he will walk the neighborhood from there, introducing himself to voters.

Karger, the first openly gay GOP candidate to run for president, was last in Portsmouth back on , but he's spent a lot of time in New Hampshire of late, even leasing a home in Manchester recently so he can spend more time here campaigning.

He was in the Seacoast earlier this month, when he bought a ticket to the Seacoast Republican Women's luncheon in Hampton on the same day potential presidential candidate Rudy Giulani was scheduled to address the group.

That led to an awkward moment when Karger approached Giuliani and after a quick handshake, the former New York City mayor .
