NH FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN
NH YOUNG REPUBLICANS
*NEW* NH FEDERATION OF COLLEGE REPUBLICANS
DEAR ,
AFTER A GREAT DEAL OF TIME & EFFORT, I AM PLEASED TO SEE THAT OUR
LEGISLATIVE BODIES WERE ABLE TO CREATE A REPUBLICAN BUDGET FOR THE
BENEFIT OF ALL GRANITE STATERS. NOT ONLY IS THIS BUDGET FISCALLY
RESPONSIBLE, BUT OVERALL INCREDIBLY CONSERVATIVE! UNDER REPUBLICAN
LEADERSHIP WE’VE EXPANDED SCHOOL CHOICE, PROTECTED THE RIGHT TO
LIFE, REDUCED TAXES, AND ELIMINATED NEW HAMPSHIRE’S ONLY FORM OF AN
INCOME TAX, IN ADDITION TO SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE SCHOOLS. THIS REPUBLICAN BUDGET DEFENDS AND EXPANDS
THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ADVANTAGE, AND I URGE ALL HOUSE AND SENATE
REPUBLICANS TO BE UNIFIED IN SUPPORT OF IT.
I would also like to thank all of our volunteers who were able to take
some time to support the local Keene Police department yesterday
evening. When we heard there was a planned Democrat protest to defund
their law enforcement, we made an immediate call to action - the
result was utter success! Not only did volunteers rise to the
occasion, but they brought signs displaying statistics and acted
respectfully to all who were involved on either side. We outnumbered
the protestors by far, and our message was clearly appreciated by
driver-bys.
LASTLY I INVITE EVERYONE TO JOIN US FOR A VERY SPECIAL EVENT
APPROACHING WITH CONGRESSMEN DAN CRENSHAW! THIS EVENT WILL BE HOSTED
ON JULY 8TH, AND TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. EACH TICKET
INCLUDES A DINNER, AND VIP TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO WOULD
LIKE TO RECEIVE A SIGNED BOOK AND PHOTO OPPORTUNITY! WE’VE SOLD
QUITE A NUMBER OF TICKETS IN THE FIRST 24 HOURS ALONE, SO I ENCOURAGE
YOU NOT TO WAIT AND POTENTIALLY MISS OUT ON SUCH A GREAT EVENT!

MESSAGE FROM THE REPUBLICAN LEADER
This week in the Committees of Conference our caucus delivered on many
of the promises that we made to the people of New Hampshire. The
budget that our caucus has delivered assures that our citizens see tax
cuts across the board, phased out the I&D tax, puts money into our
cities and towns, and accomplishes much of our priority legislation
such as the 24 week abortion ban, Education Freedom Accounts, and
improving our state's racial discrimination laws. The numbers speak
for themselves. While Democrats are spreading lies about our policies,
only 13 percent of people support limiting late term abortions
[[link removed]]
and a plurality support Education Freedom Accounts
[[link removed]].
This raises the question: if New Hampshire Democrats are unwilling to
listen to the will of the people of New Hampshire, who are they
_really_ representing?I encourage you all to read the Speaker's
statement to read about all of the policies that our Finance committee
created. When our caucus goes to Bedford to vote next week, we will be
voting for lower taxes, fiscal responsibility, and a better quality of
life for all Granite Staters.All the best, Jason Osborne, House
Majority Leader

SENATE REPUBLICAN UPDATE
House and Senate reach budget deal
SPENDING PLAN FOR FY22-FY23 BASED ON GOP AGENDA; WORKS FOR ALL NH!
CONCORD, NH – The New Hampshire House and Senate today reached a
deal on a new state budget for FY22-FY23. Members of the Committee of
Conference on HB2, led by Republicans, agreed on the $13.5B spending
plan for the new biennium beginning on July 1, 2021.
House Speaker Sherman Packard (R-Londonderry), and Senate President
Chuck Morse (R-Salem), issued the following statement regarding the
agreement:
House Speaker Packard:“Today we reached an important milestone in
our state budget process by coming to an agreement with our Senate
counterparts. This budget is a fiscally conservative and balanced
budget that enables New Hampshire families to keep more of their own
hard-earned money by providing tax relief. It helps our business
community thrive and will help sustain our economic growth. It
improves both the education system and boosts much needed funds for
mental health and substance abuse programs. These are promises we made
to the New Hampshire voters in 2020, and these are promises that we
are delivering results on. I recognize all of the hard work and
dedication put into this budget process by both House and Senate
members. I am proud of our citizen legislature’s commitment to
spending tax dollars responsibly. This is never an easy process, but
we were able to come together and agree upon a product that will
enhance our economy and keep New Hampshire moving in the right
direction.”
Senate President Morse:“The budget we passed today reflects the
strong Republican agenda we put forward last January, the same one the
voters supported. It’s balanced, lives within our means, helps
working families, supports Main Street businesses, protects taxpayers,
cares for our most vulnerable, improves education, funds mental health
and substance abuse programs, reduces regulatory burdens and keeps New
Hampshire streets and homes safe.”“I appreciate the long
hours and thoughtful consideration of the House and Senate members on
the Committee of Conference for HB 2 that enabled us to reach a mutual
agreement on state spending for the next two years. The budget process
is long and complex. It requires us to start with reliable revenues
estimates, to focus on priorities and to separate wants from needs,
which is exactly what we did.”
