Dear ,
I first want to thank everyone who reached out this week with their well-wishes and thoughts. I am feeling 100% and am already back to work raising money and organizing our party for a big 2022 cycle.
With that said I want to thank Governor Sununu, Senate President Morse, and Speaker Packard for attending this week’s Right of Center meeting. While a Committee of Conference is fine-tuning a phenomenal Republican budget proposal this week, we can already see evidence of Republican leadership delivering victories for the Granite State.
Yesterday Governor Sununu signed Senate Bill 3 to exclude Payroll Protection Program funds from taxation - a big win for Granite State small businesses. Our Republican victories are really only beginning - as the House and Senate concludes their work over the next two weeks, Governor Chris Sununu will be presented with some of the best Republican policy to ever reach a New Hampshire Governor’s desk.
It’s a great time to be a New Hampshire Republican; we are united and fighting for our values daily. Lastly, Governor Chris Sununu’s steady leadership of COVID-19 was on display again this week - at midnight tonight, the State of Emergency in New Hampshire is over. This milestone should be celebrated by all and we all owe a debt of gratitude to the Governor for his leadership and to the House and Senate Republican Caucuses who helped make the necessary legislative changes so we could all exit the State of Emergency together.
United Republicans Leadership has led to the greatest economic growth and opportunity New Hampshire has ever seen as we exit the pandemic. That’s no accident - that’s by design.
Thank you all for what you do for New Hampshire.

House Republicans and Friends Across New Hampshire
House Republicans and Friends Across New Hampshire,As our legislators reported to Bedford this week, we voted to send many of our priority legislation pieces to the Governor and have formed our Committees of Conference with the Senate. From maintaining control of our elections to assuring medical freedom in immunizations, our caucus worked diligently to advance our bills to the Governor and the finish line. As Committees of Conference occur next week, we will watch as our Representatives meet with the Senate to make sure that we deliver the greatest Republican budget that the Granite State has ever seen. From tax cuts across the board, to protecting the unborn, and keeping poisonous divisive concepts out of New Hampshire, our Representatives have worked tirelessly on behalf of the Granite State. While the Democrats continue to attempt to steal FITN, try to implement income taxes, and even tried to cancel our state motto, "Live Free or Die," this week, Republicans are there to cut taxes and assure individual freedoms for our citizens.Finally, as the State House reopens Monday, our office would like to extend a warm welcome back to the citizens of the Granite State. As the people's house, we all look forward to seeing our citizens engaged and playing a critical role in the political process.All the best, Jason Osborne, House Majority Leader

Senate President Chuck Morse (R-Salem) said, “I am proud of this budget. It works for all of New Hampshire by prioritizing our most vulnerable populations and providing relief to every New Hampshire taxpayer. Republicans believe the most responsible budgets are built on reliable revenues, lower taxes and fiscal discipline which is exactly how we built this one.
