Local voices chime in on a variety of topics.
In an attempt to preserve my liver and my mental well-being, I’ve decided to take a “time out” from any media reporting on Trump, or the imminent plans to exact Project 2025, or the apparently inevitable demise of democracy.
Vote for Joyce Craig – she knows the difference between right and wrong, and she stands by her love for New Hampshire and her country. Kelly Ayotte cannot be trusted to be beholden to Trump’s adoption of the far right, dark Republican Project 25 agenda and potential self-proclaiming dictatorship.
We are fortunate to live in a state that seems to make a top ten list with each new survey that’s published. This is no coincidence. After 8 years of successes under Governor Chris Sununu, Kelly has pledged to continue to build upon this record of achievement and take New Hampshire to the next level. She has the background, the skills, and the ability to bring people together and do just that.
Do go out and vote in a caring way. This is not a single issue election. All lives would suffer if you “plugged your nose” and voted for someone who wants to be like Hitler. Take this election very seriously!
Christmas is two months away as I write this. When the holiday nears, many children, excited with anticipation, will pick up a box from underneath their tree and shake it to arrive at their best guess at what’s inside. As wishful thinking is human nature, many a child will joyously decide it’s exactly what they want and will later have to conquer their disappointment when it turns out to be a sweater. (Mom, if you’re reading this, I promise I liked the sweater you got me last Christmas.)
O P I N I O N TINY WHITE BOX Prelude January 27, 2004. It’s morning. I’m in the front
This November, we have the opportunity to elect leaders to the State House and Senate who will fight for common sense solutions to the challenges facing hardworking Granite Staters, stand up against extreme policies, and create a more prosperous future for New Hampshire. Donna Soucy is that leader, and that’s why I’m supporting her State Senate reelection campaign.
Not unlike millions of Americans throughout our country I have been, shall we say, obsessing over the wild ride known as the presidential election cycle. I have taken a particular interest in the polls for the first time, with the hope of being able to interpret the numbers so I could see who was winning, or going to win.
A hobby I don’t understand, however, is attempting to trick voters into selecting a candidate in the primary election by falsely filing under a mainstream party. Yet that seems to be a favorite pastime for Free Staters, a group who answers the question, “What if you took a bunch of Twitter edgelords and rallied them around an untenable goal and a hedgehog emoji?”
We need a governor who is going to fight for solutions to the opioid epidemic, not run a misleading attack campaign about it. That’s why I’m supporting Cinde Warmington for governor and I hope you’ll join me.
