Renee Blaisdell for Myself Dover Why was Strafford County excluded by the NH House, Senate and Governor when the bill was passed in 2023? Was there a reason the legislature and governor at the time wanted to exclude Strafford County? Or are the folks in Concord just not reading the bills before they vote? | Dover | Support | 279 | Jan 13, 2025 | |
Richard Dolbec for Myself Dover This is common sense legislation and should be supported by all house members. | Dover | Support | 78 | Jan 13, 2025 | |
Mark Racic for Myself Milton This fixes an oversight in the original bill. I want support only from within each district to determine their commissioner. | Milton | Support | 125 | Jan 13, 2025 | |
Carol Petrusewicz for Myself Rochester It has always been precedent that in order to serve in any elected position, you must reside in that area that you will be representing. Please pass this legislation to correct the oversight. You should make this effective for BOTH the next election AND if a position become available now. Thank you! | Rochester | Support | 300 | Jan 13, 2025 | |
