Bradley joins the club by hiking last 4,000-footer
WOLFEBORO - U.S. Rep. Jeb Bradley won re-election in New Hampshire's 1st District last week and has followed the win by climbing his last mountain in the state.
He scaled Cannon Mountain in Franconia Notch State Park over the weekend. It's the 48th 4,000-foot New Hampshire mountain he's climbed.
He's now part of the White Mountain Four Thousand Footer Club. He also can claim the title of "peak-bagger." He may be the first member of Congress to achieve the honor.
He has climbed Cannon Mountain before. But he couldn't officially cross it off the list because he rode down to the bottom. Bradley said he's been hiking since he was 10 or 11 years old. He also has hiked in the Himalayas.

Don't know if any other Congressman claims the NH 4K, former Governor Meldrim Thomson finished while in office if I remember correctly
He actually invited the public to attend in his victory speech election night, don't know if anybody went besides audrey
