We enthusiastically support Mario Ratzki for another term as state representative for Danbury, Salisbury, and Andover. Mario has worked hard in the legislature and has done a great job of keeping Beacon readers fully informed on his positions on legislative issues. We feel hugely fortunate to be represented by Mario Ratzki. Tim and Susan Norris
Congratulations to the organizers of the Rail Trail Run and Ride event on September 27 and to all the volunteers who contributed their time, talents, and energy to make the day a success. I biked the 50k route with my lifelong friend Charlie Darling and enjoyed every minute. We came in dead last, but I […]
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Every decision – financial, political, and/or social – results in intended and unintended consequences. For the past six years the American people supported the President, expecting that we could “transform” the country in positive ways. This did not happen. Enabled and abetted by Harry Reid, Nancy […]
I am writing in support of Kathy Rago for State Senate, District 7. As a small business owner in the Lakes Region, I have found it becoming more difficult to do business in New Hampshire, with higher and higher fuel costs and the increasing fees that I am charged by the state for simply doing […]
It has been our pleasure to have become friends with Mario Ratzki and his wife Caroline. While searching New England for a new home after Boston, Andover won out, and they are very pleased with their choice, as are we. They are both exemplars of public service. Mario is finishing a most successful first term […]

I wanted to write in support of Mario Ratzki and let others know of the help he gave me in getting health insurance coverage. I was divorced in 2009 and without health insurance, as the three jobs that I worked were all with small part-time employers. Mario heard about my situation, and because I was a […]
We wish to express our strong support for Mario Ratzki for State Representative for Merrimack County, District One. Since Mario was elected, he has been instrumental in helping many of our citizens navigate the halls of state bureaucracy. In one specific example, he was instrumental in convincing the State Department of Transportation to provide 14 […]
With election day coming up, it’s time to be thinking about our votes. We have two good people, Mario Ratzki and David Karrick, as our state representatives and a third, Andrew Hosmer, as our state senator. All three are standing for re-election. Mario, David, and Andrew are hard-working, responsible legislators doing their best to keep […]
Danbury, Andover, and Salisbury have been very fortunate to have had Mario Ratzki and David Karrick as our representatives to the New Hampshire House these past two years, and we urge their re-election this November. They both have been present at most, if not all, the public gatherings here in Danbury: Grange Fairs, our lecture […]
