County Administrator Bateson retires
Much has happened during these last few months. You will be very pleased to know that Merrimack County has recently received the highest rating possible for our Tax Anticipation Notes – an SP1+. Our long term rating has been upgraded to AA by Standard and Poor. Due to internal reviews by our insurance company, we […]
As the current and former Mayors of Franklin, we wish to encourage the voters of Senate District 7 to support Kathy Rago in her bid to become our next State Senator. We have observed Kathy as a member of our Zoning Board, our School Board, and ultimately as a State Representative. Rep. Rago has always […]
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 […]
Working well with both parties
Kathy Rago is running for the position of New Hampshire State Senator in District 7. She has previously served as a State Rep for District 7 where she gained a strong reputation for clarity and accuracy dealing with people of both parties. Her campaign has been clear and to the point. Kathy’s mail outs are […]

I support Kathy Rago’s campaign for the New Hampshire Senate, District 7, and ask you to do the same in this very important election. Prior to being a Representative for Franklin for two terms, Kathy was a local advocate for many non-profits in Franklin. She worked tirelessly as a board member on behalf of the […]
I recently received a negative campaign flyer attacking my opponent. I do not believe negative campaign advertising is appropriate, did not know the content of this ad in advance, and certainly did not sanction this ad. I have told Democratic headquarters that I do not want any more ads like this. I am happy to […]
Today I learned, to my great outrage, about a negative campaign mailing attacking my opponent. I can affirm that I had nothing to do with it and was not consulted; otherwise, I would have nixed it. Negative campaign advertising is against everything I believe in, and I would never engage in it. I have told […]
I met Kathy Rago several years ago when she moved to Franklin from Texas. I was impressed by her “can do” approach and admired her perseverance in completing and achieving tasks and goals she set for herself. I learned that she is the type of person who follows through and does what she says she […]
Senator Andrew Hosmer wants New Hampshire to adopt Common Core State Standards (CCSS). These standards very profoundly restrict students and teachers: New Hampshire, and therefore parents, abandon local control over curricula and standards which measure academic standings. Parents’ rights to oversee their children’s education are stolen. Students’ rights to be prepared for the ever-more complex […]
