November 4 will provide a great opportunity for voters of Senate District 7 (the communities of Laconia, Gilford, Belmont, Franklin, Northfield, Andover, Salisbury, Boscawen, Webster, Canterbury) to send a genuine person, Representative Rago, to the Statehouse as Senator Rago. I served on the House Education Committee with Representative Rago and found she was a dedicated mom, a careful and meticulous processor of tremendous amounts of information with a perspective to make any of her constituents proud.

The House Education Committee tends to be less partisan, because the welfare and the learning by children are at stake. Representative Rago offered valuable input to our discussions and her critical examination of the final bill gave a no nonsense, bipartisan product for the full House to consider and debate.

I strongly endorse Representative Kathy Rago as the next Senator of Senate District 7.
