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 and a plurality support Education Freedom Accounts. 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

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.”Budget Highlights:Taxpayers- Provides property tax relief to every New Hampshire homeowner

Republican Spotlight : Rep. Melissa Litchfield |
|
|
|
This week's Republican of the week is Representative Melissa Litchfield of Rockingham, District 11. Despite being a freshman representative, Rep. Litchfield wasted no time diving into her new role. Melissa has been an ally to children’s education, advocating for the school system to ‘follow the science’ and allow children to return to school without mask mandates. She’s continued to fight for the children of her community since discovering the alarming divisive treatment of vaccinated versus unvaccinated students attending the local prom. She’s since been on the frontlines of navigating the situation, bringing light to an issue that may have otherwise gone ignored. Parents and children from her district overwhelmingly feel gratitude towards her efforts, as well as assurance that their voices are being heard. Thank you Representative Litchfield for your hard work and dedication - you hold a bright future as a member of the New Hampshire Republican Party!
