Candidate Statement – Deborah Aylward for Republican State Representative

Incumbent - Merrimack District 5

By Deborah Aylward

As a State Representative, I believe it is my responsibility to promote democracy, preserve conservative values, and assure that government does not infringe on constitutional rights. As a result, my candidacy was endorsed by the National Rifle Association in 2022.  With session attendance a top priority, I reliably had a 100% attendance rate. Striving to create new business opportunities, I am pushing to have ‘Food Freedom’ laws passed. The favorite part of this job is promptly, and compassionately solving problems in response to constituent requests.

Deborah Aylward – Incumbent Republican Candidate for Republican State Representative Merrimack 5.

Protecting property owners from higher taxes, I voted against significant raises for county officials, and made a motion to defeat a proposal brought by the House Speaker despite obvious political pressure. It is reported that the annual cost of living (i.e. expenses required to sustain a particular standing of living) for the average New Hampshire family is 14% higher than the national average. That ranks New Hampshire as the 10th worst in America! I’m highly concerned about inflation, the economy, and lack of affordable housing. I supported, and will continue to support proposals that provide relief. When elected, I will not support tampering with the current laws on abortion, and will oppose bills that promote illegal immigration and threaten national and local safety. I will not support income or sales taxes.

My successes and bright visions for the future make me the right candidate for the job in 2024-2026. The 2005 photo depicts myself when first arriving in New Hampshire, meaning I will soon be celebrating 20 wonderful years as a resident of this great state!
