I have watched a gorgeous city, Laconia, turn in to a “drug-infested pen.” Poor choice of words, maybe, but it’s the truth, so let’s clean it up. Yes, I have conversed about how inadequately Laconia schools are being managed, but after listening to Steven Crowder say, “Stop saying someone has to do something, and be that someone”: I want to be that someone for Laconia/Belmont.
Small business is the lifeline to keep a district booming and expanding burdens on them only hurts the whole district, not just the business. Intense competition between business is what will raise wages and benefits in our district; laws to increase salaries will demolish the companies that have started to blossom in Laconia/Belmont.
Lastly, I have seen bill after bill gets pushed through Concord that strangles our 2nd Amendment rights: Red Flag Law. The only reason these bills are not the law is because of our remarkable governor vetoing these bills. I believe wholeheartedly in our Bill of Rights and both Constitutions, the United States, and New Hampshire.
I grew up almost my whole life in Laconia, and I know how tremendous it can be. As most know, I nowadays reside in Belmont and want both, Laconia and Belmont, to be the epitome for the rest of this beautiful state.
