Dear ,
We are just finishing the first week of June and Republican leaders across the state have already made strong strides for the state of New Hampshire.
Americans across the country of all political ideologies are frightened and disheartened by the radical agenda of the Biden administration. His actions (or lack thereof) have proven to be critically damaging, and we must continue to advocate against his irrational policies for the sake of New Hampshire residents. This is why House members have taken important steps to protect our state against such impositions from the Federal government. Read the “Official House Update” for more details on these measures.
I would also like to congratulate the Hillsborough County Republican Committee for their fantastic event featuring Vice President Mike Pence last evening. It was wonderful to see so many active Republicans supporting our values in one venue, and this just goes to show how energized we are heading into the 2022 election cycle.
Next week several towns are hosting local elections, and this Tuesday is the Bow/Dunbarton special election for Chris Lins. I encourage you to assist us in ensuring his successful election by reminding your family and friends to get involved, and more importantly, to vote! Check out our section on Candidate Chris Lins with information on how to aid in his campaign.
Have a wonderful weekend!

House Passes Set of Bills Prohibiting Federal Government Overreach
Bedford,Bedford, NH- House Majority Leader Jason Osborne (R-Auburn) released the following statement in response to the NH House passing two bills aimed at prohibiting government overreach at the federal level, and protecting states’ rights. SB154, prohibiting the state from enforcing a Presidential Executive Order that restricts or regulates the right of the people to keep and bear arms, passed on a vote of 199-177. SB89, adopting omnibus legislation relative to election procedures, passed on a vote of 200-174.
“Since President Biden and the Democrats took control of Washington, there have been numerous threats on states’ rights and citizens’ basic rights. Something must be done, and the New Hampshire legislature is making sure that our basic freedoms are going to remain protected. The federal laws and executive orders being discussed in Washington relative to firearms would severely restrict our basic Second Amendment rights and are completely inconsistent with New Hampshire’s laws and traditions. We are one of the safest states in the nation, and our current laws are fine the way they are.”
“At the same time, HR1/S1 being discussed in the Senate would have a severe impact on the way New Hampshire conducts our elections. We are proud of the way our elections are run here, and the passage of HR1/S1 would only increase voter uneasiness at the polls. The state should maintain control over our elections to maintain the integrity of the process. I am disappointed, but not surprised, that our federal delegation has been conned by the Democrat party machine into supporting this ‘malarkey.’”
“The Democrats’ rallying cry is that the passage of these bills is unconstitutional. I would say protecting our state laws is completely within our right. What is unconstitutional is the blatant stomping on the US Constitution just so one political party can take complete control over our basic freedoms and our elections. We have seen that movie before, and we know how it ends.”
