Democrat Aligned Lobbying Organizations Offer to Fund House Democrat
Travel Expenses

SALEM, NH - Granite Solutions Chairman and State Representative Joe
Sweeney (R-Salem) released the following statement after Democrat
leaning lobbying organizations publicly confirmed their practice of
funding Democrat House Members' travel expenses to the New Hampshire
State House for legislative session days:

"I am appalled. Democrat aligned lobbying organizations have publicly
confirmed their practice of funding Democrat House Members' travel
expenses for legislative session days at the New Hampshire State
House. This revelation raises alarming questions about the potential
influence of outside groups on our legislative process and the
independence of our elected representatives. By directly financing
travel expenses, these organizations undermine the impartiality and
integrity of our democratic system, eroding public trust in the
decision-making process. It raises the question of how many House
Democrats have had travel or other life expenses funded by lobbyist
organizations in order to attend session days. We must prioritize the
transparency, accountability, and independence of our elected
officials. Let us restore faith in our legislature and reaffirm our
commitment to serving the people who have entrusted us with their
representation."
