Both parties have failed W NH. Affordability. Food independence Article 10: we have the right and duty — to reform a government that fails us. NH-02 Independent
A friend sent this to me when I first decided to run. These words sit with me now.
A lot was learned and still more to be accomplished. Onward and Upward! #nhpolitics
Scanlan is a good man, but his hands are tied. They are fully aware of the issues and cant do anything about it without the legislature. They have my notes from the election process and know full well they have massive exposure. Maybe he doesn't need to be replaced but, they need to fix a thing or 2.
@kimberlyarice1 Dave can only do what the legislators allow.
After going through the ballot process I have real concerns no matter who sits in that chair.
Third parties and independents face layers of gatekeeping the two parties protect. Money and access tie it together: taking a chance on an independent threatens the infrastructure and future favors.
Each gatekeeper grades its own work: Fox Guarding the Henhouse is the theme...
Statehouse: writes the ballot-access rules. Courts weigh the burden on candidates and voters against the state's reason (Anderson-Burdick), but only if someone sues. Thinking about it....
Broadcasters: equal time doesn't apply to "news," and the station decides what's news, unless someone files with the FCC. I filed.
Tax-exempt universities: they promise to stay nonpartisan for the tax break, but no one checks unless someone files with the IRS. Thinking about it...
The checks exist. The burden of using them falls on the candidate they exclude.
In NH, Articles 10 and 11 of our constitution should break these barriers down. More to come.
Without high levels of immigration every year, the US will face population decline in the coming decades, according to Census Bureau projections.

Montana voters approved a ballot measure to ban corporations, nonprofits and labor unions from doing business in the state if they made political contributions. State's rights v. Citizens United. Will be fun to see SCOTUS deal with that one. Bravo Montana!!!
Lot of truth here.... My take, Dems sat by and watched the country implode while Republicans carried water for bad and divisive policy that hurt Americans.
Feelings are one thing but the math is real.
Now the Dems have to deliver on their promises.. which historically they are incapable of doing nationally.
From a state perspective, if they allow property taxes to jump or introduce a sales tax they will get run out in 2028.
My hope is they focus on uniting the country instead of continuing the same "get even" philosophy that is killing our state and country.
Happy Election Day, New Hampshire!
Today, make your voice heard. Our republic depends on citizens who participate, stand for liberty, and take responsibility for the future.
Get out and vote!
For liberty. For our families. For New Hampshire.
