It was reported yesterday that Republican House member, Dunbarton Rep. JR Hoell owns more than 100 domain names – representing politicians from both parties.
Hoell has been purchasing the domain names for anywhere from $.99 to $12.99. While he declined to name all the sites he owns, a quick search shows they range from several iterations of state Sen. Jeb Bradley (congressmanjebbradley.com, bradleyforsenate.com, senatorjebbradley.com) and former senator Scott Brown ( senatorscottbrown.org), to sites bearing the names of his former opponents, including Rep. Mary Beth Walz, a Bow Democrat (marybethwalz.com and .org).
