Friend,
I hope everyone has had a chance to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage that’s arrived in the Granite State. It’s during these autumn months that folks from around the country come to explore the stunning landscapes New Hampshire has to offer, and aren’t we blessed to call this state home?
But New Hampshire is much more than a pretty place to live, it holds key values that make the “Live free or Die” state so special. We should all recognize the value in this sentiment, and understand the importance of ensuring that the integrity of these values is maintained. How so? Through electing Republican leadership.
We have multiple campaigns happening right now across the state, and it’s without a doubt necessary that we all pitch in to the best of our ability. We have a special election in Cheshire County with candidate Rita Mattson . On top of this we have Mayoral races across the state: Victoria Sullivan for Manchester, Paul Callaghan for Rochester, George Hansel for Keene, Robert Haynes for Berlin, Ken Hilton for Somersworth, and Dawn Johnson for Laconia. Take the time to check out these races and see if you’re able to make volunteer or monetary contributions.
Finally, we’ve had an incredible series of events put on by our NH Young Republicans. This group is an important tool for the party, as it engages and energizes young conservatives to be active in the state party. Be sure to follow them on facebook, and share their events online so that they can continue to recruit new members from around New Hampshire!

Check out this Press Release from Manchester Mayoral Candidate Victoria Sullivan |
|
Manchester, NH - Victoria Sullivan issued the following statement on continued violence in Queen City schools after the student assembly at Memorial High School was canceled today because of safety concerns from the Manchester Police Department. Sullivan said the following:
"This incident is the latest in a string of headlines highlighting the failed leadership of our school district. Our city is in chaos under Mayor Joyce Craig, and it is now impacting our students at every level. Memorial High School is no longer permitted to have Friday night football games because violence has broken out repeatedly at the games. Student assemblies are now deemed too dangerous to hold. Parents contact me almost daily about the violence and bullying happening in our schools.
"Joyce's solution is to put all of our high school students into one building when they cannot even control schools with smaller populations. This is unacceptable. Our students lost a year of their education and are now unable to assimilate back into the full-day school structure because the district failed them.
"At the end of the day, Joyce Craig serves as the chair of the Manchester Board of School Committee. The responsibility for providing a safe learning environment where our children are thriving falls squarely on her shoulders, as well as those serving on the school board. I have witnessed parents bring concerns before the school board where they were completely disrespected and dismissed.
"What should we have done?" "In August of 2020, I presented a plan to the school board that would have allowed every child in the district to return to in-school learning on a daily half-day basis. The Mayor and the Board of School Committee ignored my recommendations.
"When the ARPA funds were being distributed, I suggested that part of the funds be used for family events at the schools where the parents and teachers could help reassure the children that it was safe to come back to school and re-assimilate with their classmates. That suggestion was also denied.
"Instead of alienating our parents, we should have utilized the programs available through the New Hampshire Department of Education - programs such as the dual capacity, Dr. Karen Mapp framework for parental engagement. This would have helped close the learning lag we are seeing from remote learning and aided in a smoother transition back into the school buildings.
"Put simply: The district should have worked to get the students back into school much sooner than they did. Manchester was one of the last districts to return to full-day in-person learning.
"My education plan builds on my experience as a legislator on the House Education Committee, as a parent, classroom volunteer, PTA president, and advocate for parents and children - as well as through my work on the state level in education. My plan has a comprehensive approach to combatting discipline issues, engaging parents, and supporting our students in an academically strong education. The simple fact is wecannot afford to allow this kind of negligence and mismanagement to continue.
"It is time for a serious change in Manchester. It is time to save our schools." |

Thanks to the state budget we recently passed, Laconia taxpayers will save more than $1.25 million under the Statewide Property Tax. That’s direct relief for taxpayers, but the budget also helps property taxpayers in other ways by sharing funds with cities and towns.
For instance, we’ve increased revenue sharing under the Meals and Rooms Tax to 30 percent. That will mean more than $1.1 million going directly to Laconia in each of the next two years, helping to lower taxes. In addition, the two-year budget includes more than $23 million in Adequate Education Grants for Laconia schools.
I’m happy that our state budget is great news for hard working Laconia families. Sen. Harold French CanterburyRead the full piece here! |

We need more proactive women like yourself out in the field, and we appreciate your willingness to lead the charge!

The New Hampshire Federation of College Republicans is the officially chartered state organization for College Republicans all over the state of New Hampshire. With chapters at Saint Anselm College, Plymouth State, UNH, SNHU, Dartmouth, Franklin Pierce, and Keene State, the NHFCR has representation for a wide swath of the state. Executive board members include Chairman Ben Mickens, Executive Director Joseph LaCreta, Vice-Chair for CD1 Nate Twarog, Vice-Chair for CD2 John Michitson, Treasurer Kevin Chrisom, and Secretary Jessica Long. Our chapters are driven to keep college students engaged with conservative politics by bringing speakers to campus, presenting students with conservative internship opportunities in the state, and doing grassroots campaigning. The Federation board looks forward to helping get our chapters to a post-COVID reality while we work to keep Republican leadership in Concord as we push for Republican leadership in DC.
