ANDOVER – This letter concerns the editorial written by Kim Baer and published in the August Beacon. The signs on Franklin Highway have nothing to do with hate and/or violence, but for an understanding of the reproductive policies of the GOP and Louise Andrus, which are injurious to the physical, mental, and spiritual health of […]
Please vote to re-elect Incumbent, Deborah Aylward as State Representative. Why? Because I’ve seen her in action, and have no doubts about her abilities to properly serve her constituents in the State House. She is readily accessible and highly responsive, which are character traits we demand of our representatives. She possesses the strength and fortitude […]
ANDOVER – In response to Kim Baer’s recent opinion piece in the last edition of The Andover Beacon, I’d like to mention the importance of context. She claims a sign on Route 11 “…appears to call for the killing and dismembering of State Representative Andrus” when it advocates no such actions. The sign – the […]
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.

I’m hoping that registered but chronic non-voters realize that the 2024 elections are about “something that is more important than oneself.” It is a form of giving back to our great communities and the nation. It’s not about what your elected representatives can do for you, but what you can do for your hard-working representatives. […]
September 10 will be the New Hampshire Primary. I am encouraging everyone to vote. It is a privilege to vote and is crucial that each one of us be a part of the election process in New Hampshire. On July 19, 2024, Governor Sununu signed a bill which I was the prime sponsor, HB 1205, […]
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). To do that, Project 2025 has three recommendations (p. 103). One, requiring students in public high schools that get federal […]
I write to register my strong objection to the Wilmot Select Board’s vote on June 12, 2024 to approve a resolution “to commit the Town of Wilmot to join Merrimack County Community Power to provide default supply service on an opt-out basis to retail electricity customers within the Town of Wilmot’s boundaries.” The effect of […]
ANDOVER-On behalf of the Board of The Andover Community Hub, our gratitude goes out to those who made The Hub’s recent “Rock, Blues ‘n’ BBQ” event a rousing success: Gail and Pecco Beaufays, owners of The Andover Barn; Ty Morris, chef extraordinaire; and the local business sponsors who helped underwrite the costs of this fundraising […]
