Local voices chime in on a variety of topics.
It became clear to me then that Jon Kiper, the only one of them to speak up on behalf of the people, is the kind of governor we deserve—one who respects everyone’s dignity and individual freedom enough to act with his feet and speak to our face.
Jon Kiper wants to make structural changes to our tax system. He has a plan to support our public schools and social services while simultaneously lowering property taxes.
I am the only candidate for governor that has not taken this pledge—not because I intend to implement a broad-based sales or income tax, but because “The Pledge” is a deceitful fallacy.
Manchester Alderman Pat Long held a launch party for his NH State Senate campaign Wednesday at Stark Brewing. It was well attended with plenty of food & beer and a lot of smiles.
In following the 2024 presidential campaign, I find myself longing for the days when those seeking political office talked more about the issues than trying to score political points by pointing out the personal imperfections – most of the time some character flaw rather than their abilities – of their opponents, or worse that of their opponents families.

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.
