To those who came out and supported me at the Primary, thank you. The stark difference between my opponent and myself couldn’t be any clearer. My democratic opponent, Faith Minton, in her last article stated “people are worried that our system of funding public schools is unsustainable because it relies mainly on local property taxes”. […]
Almost the first person I met when I moved to Warner almost 40 years ago was Faith Minton. She had seen a need and started a playgroup for her son and others, and my daughter joined it. Shortly after that, Faith co-founded a non-profit daycare center, again because she saw the need and got it […]
I am writing to thank the Frost family of Andover who ended up purchasing and cleaning up the property at 29 Applecrest Lane. Those of us who live on and nearby this street experienced the realities of being too close to a drug house, and the daily fear and change of habits it brings! Some […]
It is important to share past achievements to paint a clear picture of a person’s values and work ethics. So let me share a bit about my friend, Natalie Wells. Did you know that during her term as a legislator she received the “Ebenezer Mudgett Champion of Freedom” Award from New Hampshire Americans for Prosperity? […]

I can assure you, in such “fights” no punches are actually thrown, and Representatives do not grapple their ideological opponents, rolling around on the floor, pulling each others’ hair and neckties. The actual struggles can get plenty heated, but the real challenge is how to […]
Have any of you read any books that tell you about the real history of our Constitution? “5000 Year Leap” will explain it quite well. Our founders were very smart people and did much study and research before writing our Constitution. If you would like a person who believes in and would vote to support […]
I believe that this Washington administration intends to restrict our right to vote by sabotaging the Postal Service. We have therefore decided to vote in person to make sure that our votes are counted. With the proper precautions, we believe it is no riskier than going to the supermarket and just as vital. This is […]
Ken Wells is running for re-election to represent Merrimack County District 1 in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. District 1 comprises the Towns of Andover, Danbury, and Salisbury. After teaching Science, Math, and Technology for 37 years, Ken ran for the District 1 seat in 2018 and flipped it from red to blue! Fittingly, […]
