On the upcoming November ballot two Constitutional questions are proposed. The second question asks “Shall there be a convention to amend or revise the constitution?” This assumes that there is a problem with the founding documents.

When I purchased the historic Battles Farm in Bradford a couple of years ago, I thought that running the farm would become my new full-time job. The farm had fallen into disrepair, but I saw opportunity. Generations of my family were farmers, and my background as a small businessman and professor at the University of […]
We have a Republican Governor and Republican majorities in the New Hampshire Senate, House and Executive Council. The current Republicans in control of the state are nothing like the Republicans you voted for 20 or 30 years ago. Their platform has moved towards a Libertarian ideology.

Please take the time to vote on November 8
Have you ever thought about what it would be like if our “right to vote” was ever taken away from us? Could that realistically ever happen? I am not saying it would ever happen. Rather the question is something to think about. To me, voting is one of the most important rights of an American […]
As a voter (and candidate), I’d like to see other candidates disclose their independent legislative accomplishments, if any, which in my view, are an indicator of being the most qualified to fill the positions sought.

Infrastructure and Jobs Act, signed into law in November 2021, brought $1.2 billion into New Hampshire for road and bridge repair, expanded broadband, clean drinking water, protection from wildfires and cyberattacks, public transportation and airport improvement, charging stations, […]
What is the Bill of Rights? It is the first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution. These amendments guarantee us freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, freedom of religion, and much more. The United States Constitution and the New Hampshire Constitution are very important to every person. Have you read these two […]
It is with pleasure that I would like to congratulate some of the students I have learned about from Andover, Danbury, and Salisbury on their college achievements. Kaitlyn Abele of Danbury graduated from the University of New Hampshire. She earned a BSET degree in Mechanical Engineering Tech. Madalyn Pfeifer of Andover graduated with a Doctor […]

I say this now as my District will be changing to Warner, Bradford, and Henniker. I’m […]
