Andrew Ogles, US Congressman from Republican gerrymandered Nashville, TN, was “devastated” and “utterly heartbroken” over the Nashville shooting, offering “thoughts and prayers to the families of those lost”. His 2021 Christmas card featured most of his family (except for his youngest child) toting assault rifles! I think thoughts and prayers might be better directed for those who voted for him. Or are these latest gun victims simply acceptable collateral damage for the supposed unfettered freedom of the 2nd Amendment?

I support Katherine Harake, for New Hampshire Executive Council, District 3.
I’ve been following Katherine’s campaign for months and it’s clear that her priority from day one has been to connect with her constituents while getting to know the most important issues among the families and businesses who hope to thrive in New Hampshire. I believe Katherine’s background makes her the type of leader who will unite people and find common ground for the betterment of all of New Hampshire.
Katherine is a New Hampshire native with strong roots in the Seacoast area. A graduate of Winnacunnet High School, she holds a bachelor’s degree in business and a master’s in diplomacy and currently chairs the Budget Committee in Hampton.
From grocery store employee to international investment banking, to starting and managing a successful coffee trading business, Katherine is well prepared for the complex business of the Executive Council.
Katherine’s priorities put the needs of all her constituents above politics, party, and special interests. She will prioritize spending to strengthen public education. She will fight to protect the rights of women to make personal reproductive healthcare choices. She will work to ensure the council manages resources responsibly and is transparent and accountable to the people of New Hampshire.
Join me Nov. 8 to vote for Katherine Harake for New Hampshire Executive Council, District 3.

I’ve been I have been a Salem, N.H. resident for nearly eight years and have followed both town and state policymakers. I was unhappy with many of the decisions made by those elected to represent us
Then I met Donna Loranger. Listening to her, I wished she was my representative, and here is why:
In an era of make-believe politics, she is as real as you can get. No flowery speeches or longwinded sermons, rather, Donna is the “let’s roll up our sleeves” type. She is all about substance, efficiency, and practical solutions. She maintains a strong set of beliefs while remaining open to consider others’ perspectives. She is consistent and honest — qualities we all should demand from a representative.
Her past work experiences enable her to gather ideas from a team to create the best suited solutions.
Her work on different town boards and committees gives her the knowledge of the unique issues Salem is facing.
For long-awaited, equitable representation, please join me in voting for Donna Loranger.following Katherine’s campaign for months and it’s clear that her priority from day one has been to connect with her constituents while getting to know the most important issues among the families and businesses who hope to thrive in New Hampshire.

I’ve always known Bonnie Wright to be a warm, intelligent and principled woman who cares about the people in our community and shows it. She’s always working to make life better for us all. From managing the Salem Farmers Market for many years, to chairing the Salem Zoning Board, keeping us informed about the latest COVID-19 data during the pandemic, and working effectively with a diverse group of commissioners to create a new charter for Salem, N.H., Bonnie has demonstrated her commitment to making our lives and community better.
Her priorities and values mirror those of Salem’s families. She’s a strong advocate of public education and pro-teacher, while always keeping parents in the loop.
As a businesswoman and president of the farmers market she understands fiscal responsibility, will strive to lower our property taxes, and demand an honest and transparent state budget process. She’s a reproductive health care champion, who will foster sound public health policies.
She knows clean air and water are an essential legacy owed to our children and grandchildren. She’ll promote clean and affordable energy to heat our homes and run our businesses. And she’ll fight for these without a sales or income tax.
Bonnie Wright is a common-sense, committed leader who reflects New Hampshire’s core values. We’d be privileged to have her as our state representative in Concord.

I was in the eighth grade when Roe v. Wade became the law of the land. Now I am retired and we are here again fighting for reproductive rights.
Voters have a clear choice to make this November. Now that Roe is gone, Republican extremists are on the march to pass a national abortion ban. The freedom of every woman in the country is going to depend on us turning out to vote in November to re-elect Maggie Hassan.
If the Republicans retake the Senate, we know Mitch McConnell and other extremist Republicans will outlaw abortion and try to throw women and doctors in prison. I wish this was an exaggeration — but we have already seen what they have done in Texas and even New Hampshire.
With Roe overturned, they will not stop until it is illegal to get an abortion for any reason, anywhere.
Women’s liberty is on the ballot this November. If a Republican wins in New Hampshire, McConnell and the Republicans will retake the Senate. Chuck Morse, Don Bolduc, and Kevin Smith have spent years calling for the overturn of Roe and would vote to ban abortion.
Maggie Hassan, on the other hand, has stood up time and again for reproductive rights and is now leading the fight against a national abortion ban.
If New Hampshire wants to stop Republicans from banning abortion, then there is a clear choice for Senate this November
