Candidate Clarifies Number of Votes Allowed on September Ballot

By Deborah Aylward

There has been flawed messaging that Candidate Deborah Aylward is Candidate Louise Andrus’s opponent and that voters should only vote for  Andrus — even though two candidates will be elected for this two-seat district representing Andover, Danbury, Hill, Salisbury, and Webster. Voters need to know that I am not running against Andrus, I am running with Andrus, with both of us representing the Republican Party. 

This misinformation campaign was also touted in 2022, there being hundreds of “undervotes,” which means many voters failed to vote for two candidates that year, some of whom may have been exposed to the inaccurate messaging. Beware of persons perpetrating this distorted messaging as they are attempting to suppress voters’ right to choose! Shame on them. Vote for both!
