Sarah McCarthy for Myself Manchester I oppose this bill as written. We hardly have student loan forgiveness for first responders, healthcare professionals, or educators. HOWEVER, given that representatives in New Hampshire are essentially volunteers with barely any pay, I do think employment protections are imperative to the work they do. We expect participation of our representatives, but this is an unrealistic ask for anyone who is still actively employed. I would love to see a redraft of this bill to focus on the much needed employment protection for our representatives. Thank you for your time. | Manchester | Oppose | 577 | Feb 19, 2025 | |
Jamie Carreau for Myself Derry I think this is an excellent bill providing protections to state reps who are essentially volunteering their time to help make NH’s laws. They only make $100/year and are vital to our local government. The very least we can do is include them in the student loan forgiveness program. And employer protections are vital too, This encourages employed individuals, not just retired and unemployed persons to run for legislation. | Derry | Support | 427 | Feb 19, 2025 | |
Gordon Springate for Myself Wilton I strongly oppose this Bill. Loan forgiveness is nonsense. We do not want individuals running for office who expect others to pay off their loans. People running for office know the rules and there is no shortage of candidates. | Wilton | Oppose | 231 | Feb 19, 2025 | |
