The Andover Democrats welcome the public to come meet them at the Andover Barn, 32 Maple Street, on Saturday, June 22, from 6 – 7:30 PM.

Below is a brief statement from each of the candidates:

Stuart Green: “I’m Stuart Green, running for Senate District 7. I am a retired Navy Commander, former diplomat, former Town Moderator, husband, father, and proud New Hampshire native.  Help me restore Common Sense and mutual respect in our political culture.  Let’s push extremism to the corners and work for a freer, more prosperous, better educated state.”

Lorna Carlisle: “I’m Lorna Carlisle, running for Merrimack District 5 State Representative.

I am a New Hampshire native, living in Salisbury since 2004. I serve on the community power committee and the budget committee in Salisbury. We need a return to common sense, decency, and true fiscal policy in Concord, that reflects our rural values. We should support our schools and lower property taxes. I hope with my campaign I can earn your vote. Lornacarlisle@nullyahoo.com

David Nesbitt: “I am David Nesbitt, running for Merrimack District 5 State Representative. I have strong New Hampshire roots, with some going back to the American Revolution, to my Scott-Irish grandparents arriving back in 1914. I have a degree in history, and studied at both Plymouth State and UNH.  I worked in outdoor recreation for 18 years in various management positions in the White Mountains region, plus I was a public school teacher for 18 years at Alvirne High School in Hudson, where I also served on several faculty-administrator committees. I currently serve on the Webster Conservation Commission and as co-Chair of the Webster Democrat Committee. I support public education with strong and fair state financial support for it; a woman’s right to choose; climate action; equal rights, and opportunities for all.”
