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. Two of Andover’s candidates – Louise Andrus and Alvin […]
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. Of Districts 5 and 26 State House candidates, to my knowledge, only Alvin See and I have had bills sponsored […]
Thank you to every voter in Andover, Danbury, Hill, Salisbury, Webster for your votes in the Primary on September 13. I do not take your votes for granted. And now we are gearing up for the November 8 General Election. Many candidates on the ballot are knocking on doors, making phone calls, and mailing flyers […]

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, […]

The United States Constitution and the New Hampshire Constitution are very important to every person. Have you read these two […]

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 […]
As this House Session comes to an end, I want to thank all the constituents of Andover, Danbury, Salisbury, Warner, and Webster for putting your trust in me as your State Representative these past two years and in 2016-2018. I say this now as my District will be changing to Warner, Bradford, and Henniker. I’m […]
Congratulations to all graduates of 2022. The future is yours. Don’t ever let anyone steal your dreams. Happy Fourth of July. It is exciting that Andover will be holding the celebration again this year. I have missed it and look forward to the people and the parade. Redistricting: The House and Senate passed HB 50, […]
Andover Planning Board to address this issue
There is a housing shortage that threatens Andover’s long-term viability as a prosperous community. A couple of months ago I attended a meeting of Lakes Region business leaders. At that meeting I heard several executives complaining that their large companies were unsuccessful in hiring the local workers they really need, even though their companies had […]
