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 […]

I know Candidate Deborah Aylward (R) to be a tireless champion of what is “right.” Locally, she has spent innumerable hours gathering facts to present to voters for informed decision-making; has “righted” quite a few “wrongs” with local government; and requested action by state agencies which benefited the citizenry. Deborah is gracious and kind and […]

I am 86, a vet, and I write to alert you about one item in Project 2025, Trump’s agenda for his presidency. Project 2025 wants to increase the Army force structure by 50,000 (p. 108).

The sign appears to call for the killing and dismembering of State Representative Andrus. The use of violent rhetoric in politics has […]

Thank you Tyler Czarkowski for “America needs systemic change” (online, Concord Monitor, April 20). You are so right! I urge you to consider that all politics starts locally. Plenty is happening within our state of New Hampshire that is driven by a national agenda driven by billionaires. Many of our New Hampshire representatives are funded […]

As many of you know, our Mom, Betty Manahan, fell and broke her femur on roadside sand while reaching for the mailbox several weeks ago.
