I want to know what you think
The last day of the House Legislative session was just days after nineteen children and two teachers were gunned down in Ulvalde Texas. Representative Debra Atlschiller, a Democrat from Stratham began a moving tribute to the American victims of gun violence and to first responders and law enforcement officials who respond. As it became clear…
Like most of you, I have been deeply frustrated by the political parties’ inability to work together both at the federal and State level. Normally, the democrats are just left of center, the republicans just right of center, and the electorate squarely in the middle voting with democrats on social issues and with republicans on…
I read with interest the letter to the editor regarding campaign fundraising by Erik Corbett, who I am running against in the primary on September 11th to represent Jackson/Bartlett and Hart’s Location. Mr. Chandler, who has held this seat for 37 years, has raised $29,000 for this election cycle. I agree that this amount of money should…
Take a Democrat or Republican to lunch, or sit down for coffee. I suggest this because I am disturbed by the inflammatory rhetoric I am increasingly witnessing on a national and local level.

The most horrifying images were those of children who died as a direct result of the attack. President Trump declared, “no child of God should ever…
I was positively stunned to learn that many congressmen acknowledged they had not read the latest healthcare bill (The Meadows-MacArthur Amendment to the American Health Care Act or AHCA) before it was recently approved by the House of Representatives. The bill was also passed before input was received from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which…
This has been a roller coaster of a political week. After drafting a secret bill that would impact over 300 million Americans and 1/6th of our economy, we got to see what the repeal of Obamacare would look like. With the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis, over 22 million people would lose their health insurance,…
