This proposal is not simply about square footage and bathrooms. It is about whether New Hampshire wants to participate in a system that treats human beings as cargo — to be warehoused and moved around without due process.
After the last election, in 2024, I was on the other side of the classroom, and I wanted my students to understand that we can make the laws we live by, choose the injustices that we fight, and the rights that we have. These are all things that are the result of choices made by people. I think that our government would be a lot better if those choices going forward were made by people more like me.
Rep. Brian Labrie argues that the so-called “Public Employee Choice Act” is about freedom. But true workplace freedom has never meant forcing workers to negotiate alone against the power and resources of the state.

I wish I could blame congressional Republicans or congressional Democrats for the government shutdown, now in its third week.
The federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program has helped our city tackle this crisis head-on. Its funds have been used to develop 161 affordable housing units for low- and moderate-income families, while also allowing the city to serve over 20,000 Granite Staters. Federal programs like this one can go a long way in helping meet our community’s needs.
Unfortunately, Republicans have very different plans for the program. The GOP-controlled Senate is gearing up to slash CDBG funding by $200 million. Trump has even gone a step further by proposing its complete elimination.
We walked into the gymnasium, grabbed our ballots, dodged a piece of tumbleweed, and voted in less than five minutes. This begs the question: Where was everyone?
Joe Kelly Levasseur embodies everything wrong with Manchester politics: a parasitic presence draining taxpayer dollars and bullying anyone standing in his way. As his house of cards collapses, he attempts to gaslight our city into believing his resignation as chairman of the board of mayor and aldermen represented some noble stand.

When asked about her motivation and reason for running for Congress, she replied, “I’m doing this because I want to wake up and recognize the country we live in again. I’m doing this because I have a daughter with Type 1 diabetes, and she was diagnosed with that disease 17 years ago. The whole world changed, and I had to learn how to fight, literally, for her life. And still I’m fighting for her. And that experience taught me how to fight.
