Dear ,
This week Granite Staters have a lot to be excited about.
We started this week with a strong message for Senators Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen - HR1/S1 has no place in New Hampshire and our elections should be run locally, not federally. More than 30 volunteers rallied outside of Senator Hassan’s office in over 90-degree heat! Demonstrations like this exemplify the incredible teamwork and willingness of Republicans to ensure our ‘Live Free’ state holds true to its name!
In another extraordinary win for our state, thanks to the direction of Governor Chris Sununu, Senate President Chuck Morse, and House Speaker Sherman Packard, Republicans were able to take the lead and truly deliver for Granite Staters.
This unified effort facilitated long-standing goals to completion. Through tax cuts, the elimination of the Interests & Dividends Tax, reduced spending, and an overall balanced approach, we’re putting money back into the pockets of hard-working NH families. We’ve expanded education access for students, made measures to prevent discriminatory language associated with CRT, and are providing parents with more options than ever before. Best of all, this budget works to benefit every single Granite Stater, even those yet to be born, having increased safeguards on our children’s right to life!
Every achievement we make is a testament to the ability of Republicans to organize, adapt, and persevere for the good of our families, our state, and our country. I would like to thank all of our Republican legislators, and leaders for their dedication to seeing this budget through the finish line.

House Republicans Applaud Signing of State Budget Into Law
Concord, NH: Speaker Sherman Packard (R-Londonderry) and Majority Leader Jason Osborne (R-Auburn) released the following statement after Governor Sununu Signed HB 1 and HB 2 into law:
Speaker Sherman Packard:
“Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed an historic budget that is balanced and fiscally responsible. Today, Governor Sununu signed this transformational budget package into law. Republicans delivered on tax cuts, reduced spending, education freedom, much needed mental health services and more without raising taxes or increasing spending. This is one of the most comprehensive budgets we have seen in years, and it will be the strong foundation needed to help get New Hampshire families and Main Street businesses back on their feet and thriving.”
Majority Leader Jason Osborne:
“When the people of New Hampshire put Republicans back in the Majority in 2020 it’s because we promised to cut taxes, reign in the Democrats’ bloated spending, and preserve the New Hampshire Advantage”, said Osborne. “This transformational budget delivered a $170 million total cut from every tax on the books while still funding our state’s needs. We empowered families to find the best fit for their child’s educational needs, passed some needed reform to the governor’s emergency powers, and put an end to teaching the unfounded idea that an individual is inherently racist simply due to the color of their skin. We delivered a $100 million statewide property tax cut, giving our residents direct relief. Our constituents demanded results on these issues, and House Republicans united to make sure we delivered. Granite Staters will be reaping the rewards of this transformational symphony of reforms for years to come and I look forward to building on our success next year.”

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

His work to give NH families access to Education Freedom Accounts will allow greater learning opportunities and equalize the education field for students.
