“So now I try to speak for the young trans people of the future. I hope one day they’ll grow up in a world where they can have a normal, quiet life. I hope one day the government leaves them alone.”
Rep. Buzz Scherr speaks against a motion to suspend NH House rules to consider a resolution to impeach magistrate Stephanie Johnson. Evidently, facts still matter to some more than Rep. Mike Belcher’s distortions as the motion fails to reach the required 2/3 vote. #NHPolitics
"The improvements in this bill will ensure our law enforcement have the best technology, judicial infrastructure, + statutory authority to keep our NH communities safe.”
- Rep. Linda Harriott-Gathright + @JdmMeuse#NHPolitics
I got to sit down with Chairman @T_RoyNHStateRep and @nhpr last week to talk about the benefits of the new bail reform law passed this session, and how we worked together while coming from such different political viewpoints.

It’s official! I’ve filed as a state rep candidate for Portsmouth -Ward 3 (Rockingham 26). I hope to follow in the steps of Joan Hamblet and represent Portsmouth as a pragmatic progressive, building bipartisan coalitions to move issues forward https://t.co/7fe134Do8P; #NHPolitics
@victoria4nh@JoeAlexanderNH Wow!! Trying to give credit to 2 reps who had no influence on the bill that came out of House Criminal Justice/public Safety. Must be election season or just Victoria making stuff up
I am so pleased that this bipartisan bail reform package passed on voice vote today. After months of work in the House this bill is now off to the Senate - I will continue to advocate there for these necessary improvements to our criminal justice system. #NHPolitics
Everybody gets upset my comments are off because they don’t understand how to respect personal boundaries.
If you want to harass me and call me a groomer and a t***** you can do that on your own page. My constituents know how to reach me and that’s what actually matters.
Bail reform has been a hot button issue in #NHPolitics and @unhlaw Professor @BuzzScherr calls out Manchester Mayor @JayRuais for his recent comments on the issue! Watch the fill video on YouTube: https://t.co/YsAMwtcKLL
Young progressive lawmakers such as Rep. @CamKenney are fighting for tenant rights in NH. Disappointed to see HB1115 pass by a slim margin today. Renters deserve better. #NHPolitics
Despite boatloads of consequences outlined by @AlexisSimpsonNH that will ultimately harm kids, the NH House passes HB1205 by a 189-182 roll call vote. The bill would legalize discrimination against transgender kids who want to play school sports. #NHPolitics
Deputy Leader Simpson leads the fight against HB1205 anti trans legislation that discriminates against student athletes. 🏳️⚧️
- privacy issues
- violation of Title IX
- attack on gender equality
Kids should not be excluded or denied the chance to play.

Between being trans and the child of an immigrant, every single week I get to hear dehumanizing language spoken from my colleagues at the well. This body is mainly older, white folks for a reason - if you don’t fit in they make it clear you’re not wanted.
