This is a grand shout-out to the town’s postal employees. All of you have gone above and beyond the call of duty in processing the holiday mail. From receiving and redirecting packages to delivering them at all odd hours, we thank you. For delivering holiday cards and regular mail on a steady basis through rain, […]
As a volunteer election worker, I am upset that some New Hampshire legislators are pushing to limit absentee ballots in our state. I can vouch for the integrity of the process as one who has been intimately involved as a volunteer for years with elections, including the most recent November election. I am offended […]
I want to thank all the volunteers who worked at the polls, ensuring a smooth and safe election. I also thank all the voters who participated in this grand exercise that is our American democracy.

Many of you knew her. She was a huge part […]

Candidate for State Representative -- Merrimack 1
In most ads I read in last month’s Beacon placed by the Democrats, they used the word “democracy” frequently. It felt like they were saying they were the only voters interested in democracy.
