Attorney Patrick Long, who regular Ink Link readers will remember is no relation to the Ward 3 State Representative or the cat by the same name, today announced his candidacy for one of two ward-level seats for Ward 7 State Representative. He has already been endorsed by State Representatives Mary Heath and Mary Freitas. Long has not yet secured the endorsement of the cat. Heath stated she is pleased to support Long because he cares about people and will work hard for the residents of Ward 7 and the people of Manchester.

There are five candidates for governor this year, but none among them understands the burden of the cost of living more than Jon Kiper. As a small business owner, he knows firsthand the impact of expensive housing. His customers and employees are a constant reminder.
As one of the few state lawmakers with young children, my efforts to set up our children and grandchildren for success are often met with resistance. Working parents of young children struggle for representation in our lawmaking process, making necessary economic progress infuriatingly slow. Fortunately, a working parent is running for governor: Jon Kiper.
In 2024, New Hampshire voters have at least five choices for their next governor. My choice is Jon Kiper.
Ideally, I would address these systemic issues by running for a position in the House or Senate. However, the state’s policy of paying representatives and senators just $100 per year means that working-class individuals like me can’t afford to serve in Concord.
In offering a legislative pay of only $100 per year, we do not invite all walks of life into our so-called “citizen legislature.” Instead, we rely on wealthy elites to address working-class problems. In considering why New Hampshire is the only New England state that has failed to legalize cannabis, or why our legislature is so slow to expand housing and address homelessness, the cause is clear: a volunteer legislature overpopulated by older, wealthy, retired citizens shielded from working-class problems.
Gubernatorial candidate Jon Kiper issued a statement today condemning the passage of HB619, legislation he characterized as the first steps in a broader attack on the transgender community.
New Hampshire gubernatorial candidate Jon Kiper has plenty of ideas on how to address the Granite State’s homeless crisis, but he’s not afraid to help the state’s homeless population in other ways as well.
Project 2025 would: 1) deploy the military against Americans inside the US; 2) wrest fiscal control from Congress to the President; and 3) replace up to 50,000 civil servants with political supporters. Heritage has already recruited hundreds at the Iowa State Fair.

There are many important issues the State legislature will be asked to address in the next few years, primary among them are education, affordable housing, and health care. To do this, we need fresh perspectives and legislators who can foster productive and civil dialogue and who act in the best interest not only of their constituents, but for all of New Hampshire’s citizens. For this reason, I will vote for June Trisciani for State Senate.
The “Live Free or Die” state is still dragging its feet on legalizing recreational cannabis. However, the 2022 legislative session offers something seldom seen, a legalization bill with the potential to pass. HB1598, legalizing the possession and use of cannabis, is a beacon of hope for many Granite Staters.
The For the People Act is being portrayed as a “power grab” by its opponents but it is the exact opposite. By addressing systemic issues involving voting, this act puts democracy back into the hands of citizens, not politicians.
Ron Shaw on Wednesday announced his candidacy for State Representative in Hillsborough County District 10 (Manchester Ward 3).
I had been undecided on whom to vote for in the upcoming NH Presidential Primary on Tuesday, February 11th, until last week. As a proud Granite Stater, I take our First in the Nation status seriously by speaking to the candidates and asking hard questions. I strongly believe Elizabeth Warren is the Franklin Delano Roosevelt of our time, and she has earned my vote for president.
