Dr. Tom Sherman is the Democratic nominee for governor in New Hampshire. He has dedicated his career to public service – from working as an EMT, to serving patients for more than 30 years, to serving New Hampshire constituents in the House and Senate for the past decade. Dr. Sherman has crossed the aisle to help expand healthcare to 50,000 Granite Staters, lower prescription drug costs, protect our first responders and our drinking water from harmful chemicals, and pass Buy American provisions protecting New Hampshire’s steel fabricators. He worked to legalize therapeutic cannabis because he knows many of his patients with cancer found relief from it, and has been a longtime supporter of legalizing adult-use cannabis. As governor, he is committed to getting New Hampshire back on track and addressing the issues like the rising cost of housing and energy, protecting our public schools, and codifying the right to choose.

I believe that many people in Jackson, Bartlett, Hart’s Location, Chatham, Sandwich, Albany and Hale’s Location are concerned about what is going on in both Washington and Concord.

Our federal and state governments are immersed in partisan politics, which impedes getting important legislation passed.

If elected to the NH State House, I pledge to reach across the aisle to work with my colleagues regardless of which party they represent in order to pass legislation that is critical to the people of Carroll County and the state.

I am running to bring more balance to the state senate, which has helped enact legislation that I find harmful (including the so-called EFAs, the abortion ban contained in the budget, the gerrymandering of voting districts, etc). I have seen the libertarian extremists exercise control over our state, and I am very concerned about this trend. Although some of them have similar views to mine regarding cannabis, we are otherwise far apart.

Prohibition didn’t work in the 1930s and it doesn’t work now. New Hampshire is an island of prohibition in New England, and eventually that will change. But there are concerns about the effects of legalization on public health. Thanks to Bill’s legislation about cannabis use during pregnancy, posters and pamphlets with more information are now in alternative treatment centers. This year, he amended the legalization bill the House sent to the Senate to make sure this information would be available to consumers. Bill is supportive of cannabis legalization provided the associated public health concerns are addressed.

I am running as a rational, non-partisan candidate who will research and examine issues individually to try to find common value and solutions that will benefit the people of New Hampshire. Excerpted from the “Issues” portion of my website:

“Throughout New England, states are relaxing cannabis laws, with positive results, like raking in tax dollars for the state coffers. Yet NH—which has long enjoyed a monopoly on the sale of alcohol (a far more dangerous drug)— maintains its ban on sales and possession of marijuana. Why?

The outdated war on drugs has caused more problems than it purports to solve. It’s time that we started treating those with addiction problems as human beings with medical issues, rather than criminals.

The Extremists in office seem to believe that government doesn’t work, and they are trying to prove it. I believe that government can work to help the citizens. I believe that public funds need to go to public schools. Gunstock is very beneficial to the County. NH is surrounded by states that are getting revenue from Marijuana. Driving through Vermont this month would impress you that they are further along in going solar.

Committed to our future by supporting public schools and affordable higher education. Improving mental health services and legalizing cannabis. Protecting reproductive freedom. Promoting voting rights and fair and free elections. Championing fair treatment and equal rights for all.

Protect the freedoms and rights of all NH citizens from State overreach. Parental Rights, Government Transparency, Bodily Autonomy.

I’m running because this year it didn’t feel like enough otherwise.
My most important issues are all about civil rights of one kind or another and this is one that just makes me crazy.

The first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln once stated “A house divided against itself cannot stand”; This sums up my reason for running for State Representative here in New Hampshire. Extremes at both ends of the political spectrum are pitting Americans against each other for political gain all while increasing their own power over the people they are here to serve. Politicians should be more focused on defending individual liberties which are being eroded, and working together for a prosperous and harmonious future instead of spreading discontent that renders the intuition of government dysfunctional and causes widespread panic each time the opposite party to comes into power. I am a conservative who believes the government should leave you alone if you are not hurting anyone, and therefore will support cannabis legalization.

I am just finishing up my freshman term as a representative and have some legislation that I’ve started on that I’d like to continue working on. Some of my top issues are housing, software freedom, and labor protections. I support cannabis decriminalization/legalization and have testified in favor of a decriminalization bill on behalf of one of my constituents previously.

I am running for State Representative in Derry because we need someone who believes in commonsense values and a nuanced approach; to make sure our government is working for all Granite Staters.

No Granite Stater in Derry should have to work two or three jobs just to make a living wage. I will support reasonable measures like increasing the minimum wage and expanding employment benefits.

I believe our democracy is strongest when more people participate in and benefit from our government. As a Representative, I will always support measures that ensure Granite Staters in Derry are able to participate in our democracy and hold our elected officials accountable.

As a father, I will always support policies that work for families in Derry, like paid family and medical leave, to ensure Granite Staters never have to choose between caring for a newborn, a sick loved one or receiving a paycheck and benefits.

Public education and Women’s right to self determination are under attack in this country and this state. We need ardent defenders of ALL our Human rights in Concord to prevent any further erosion of our rights as humans and citizens!

I am a Mom, a small business owner and a long-time human rights activist. I am running to protect NH public schools & teachers, ensure reproductive rights including abortion access, defend the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, expand mental healthcare & substance misuse programs, diversify NH energy resources with renewable energy initiatives, save NH waterways, legalize adult-use cannabis, raise the minimum wage, lower property taxes and keep religious doctrine out of public policy.

My name is Michael Harrington and I am a State Rep representing Strafford and New Durham and I am the Assistant Majority Leader of the NH House. I am running for re-election in the new district made up of Barrington, Middleton, New Durham and Strafford. If re-elected it will be my 6th term in the house.

I have voted in favor legalizing cannabis over and over again and will continue to do so. My first vote in favor of this was in the early 2000’s when the idea was not as popular as it is today. Now with all the states around us having legalized cannabis it is just plain dumb for NH not to do so as well.

Not much more to say on this, legalize cannabis.

I have no web site but can be reached at this above email address: harringt@metrocast.net or 603-942-8691. My campaign slogan is “More government is not the solution to all problems, sometimes it is the cause.”

I am running because I strongly disagree with the extremist agenda being touted (pushed through) by the Free State minority and their Republican allies. They want to cripple public schools — I support robust public education. They want to enfeeble environmental regulations and promote fossil fuel use — I support environmental protection of our aquifers and forests as well as clean, renewable, affordable energy. They defend governmental interference in women’s health — I support a woman’s right to choose. For so many critical issues — free and fair elections, public health, gun safety, etc. — their policies represent a radical viewpoint that is NOT what I believe most of the citizens of NH want. And, of course, I support common-sense cannabis legalization, something I believe is long overdue.

I’m running for State Representative because I feel that people like me in our town are currently badly under-represented in the State House. I’m a pro choice, feminist wife and mother who will fight to fully fund our public schools, legalize cannabis, and protect our natural resources, our access to the ballot box, and the rights of all of our friends, family, and neighbors.

I’m running for U.S. Senate as a Libertarian because I believe in the principles of self-ownership and voluntary interaction.

Libertarians believe that the War on Drugs is ineffective, unfair, and immoral. We advocate ending it.

Libertarians believe that it is immoral for the government to dictate which substances a person is permitted to consume, whether it is alcohol, tobacco, herbal remedies, saturated fat, marijuana, etc. These decisions belong to individual people, not the government.

The War on Drugs has imprisoned thousands of non-violent people. This is unfair to these people and also uses up resources that would be better spent prosecuting and imprisoning people who are violent. It also creates a black market for drugs, which further encourages violence.

Finally, The War on Drugs is largely responsible for the militarization of police forces in America. It has pitted police against citizens and this is unfair to both. Police need to be able to focus on protecting the American public from violent offenders and fraud.

Because of all of these things, Libertarians advocate ending the War on Drugs.

I am running to give New Hampshire voters a compassionate Libertarian option for Governor.

Pro-Choice on everything. I believe that people should be free to make choices for their own lives (and bodies) without the interference of government. I support harm reduction and restorative justice vs. the punitive system we currently have. Legalizing recreational cannabis for all adults would be an important step in harm reduction.

I believe, strongly, it is time we legalize cannabis and end our island of prohibition here in New England.

I’m running because I am passionate about serving my community and protecting the rights of Granite Staters. One of the rights I am most passionate about is the right to consume recreational adult-use cannabis. 74% of Granite Staters agree that adult-use cannabis should be legal in the state of New Hampshire. In spite of this broad public support, our current state legislators have failed to deliver on legalization. Research shows that the legalization of adult-use cannabis could raise over $44 million in revenue for our state. These revenues can be used to reduce our property tax burden. The economic and fiscal benefits of legalization are clear. Nevertheless, New Hampshire remains an “island” in the region—we are the only state in New England without legal cannabis. All this money WE could be making is escaping across our borders to OTHER neighboring states. It does not have to be this way. If elected, I will introduce a responsible, common sense legalization bill that will correct this absurd irregularity. Through legalization, we will generate millions in revenue for our state and simultaneously bolster personal freedoms.

Public service is my way to give back to the community for all that I have been given. I am grateful for liberty and voice. I ask for your support, and, if elected, I will serve and represent the people of Rochester

Issues:
Everyone has equal value but also has unique needs and wants.

Public education is a centerpiece of our democracy. Needs my support.

Listen to hear the other side of the story. If not heard, ask.

No! to downshifting state obligations to local property taxes.

Support for the right to choose your doctor and control over your body.

Stand up for fair wages and working conditions.
Protect our air and water. Reuse, recycle, compost, discard as last resort.

Gun laws should protect the owner and the community.
Stand up for families in Rochester.

Avoid judging others. Look for the good in others.

Use love when confronting hate. Help my neighbors.

Freedom involves responsibility and a balance between me and the community.

I am running for state representative for the people in Belmont, Sanbornton, and Tilton because the current representatives don’t share my values or respond to my messages. I have lived in the Lakes Region for over 12 years. I am retired and enjoys many of the activities this region has to offer. I am an avid skier and have taught skiing and snowboarding at Gunstock and Loon.

I am now a full-time volunteer. I am President of the Board for Belknap House, a family homeless shelter serving Belknap County. As an adaptive ski and snowboard instructor at Gunstock, I helped veterans, autistic children, and the visually impaired. I am very active in my church and lead the worship committee. I serve as a Mission Pilot as well as Emergency Services Officer and Education and Training Officer in the Civil Air Patrol.

As a state representative, I will fight for lower property taxes, better jobs and education, affordable health care, fair elections, legalization of marijuana, and a healthier environment. I will listen to his constituents and bring more transparency to state government. Visit my website, www.donhouse.info to learn more about my positions on issues.

I ran to protect the New Hampshire advantage of safe communities and low taxes. I will work to promote better education and lower our energy bills.

I am running to protect Reproductive freedom, protect LGBTQIA rights and freedoms, to protect and advocate for our public schools and teachers, to improve access to mental health services, and to advocate for legalization of adult use recreational cannabis. I am running to take a stand against radical extremists who would limit our freedoms.

Limited Government: JR is committed to enacting laws that reduce the scope and power of the state bureaucracy, including limiting the government’s emergency powers to actual emergencies.

Empower Parents: JR will fight to protect the fundamental right of parents to direct the education and upbringing of their children, including giving parents more options in education so that all children can attend the best school for them.

Economic Prosperity: JR understands that embracing smart economic policies will ensure a prosperous future. We must pursue common-sense reforms like Right to Work, lowering health insurance premiums by eliminating costly mandates, expanding local energy production to reduce energy costs, and cutting taxes.

New Hampshire Values: JR will defend traditional New Hampshire values, freedom, and our God-given individual rights. That includes protecting religious liberty, the Right to Life, free speech, medical freedom, and the right to keep and bear arms.

Fighting for equality and women’s rights. Increase teachers wages and improv schools environment and helping small business.

Small government
Personal freedoms
Low spending, low taxes
Parental rights

I am not a politician. I am a lifelong resident of NH. I am a free thinking moderate Republican.

I am running for office because I am deeply saddened by the current state of affairs in my Community.

Our current systems regarding homeless, crime, education and our economy are broken. The streets of my city have been overrun with criminals who have been released on PR bail and continue to offend over and over. Our parks are no longer a safe place for our children. I am tired of standing by and watching as my elderly parents, as well as my grown children are financially drowning due to out of control inflation. I am afraid that middle class people like me are not going to be able to afford our electric bills or to heat our homes this winter.

New Hampshire desperately needs change. I want to be the voice of change for middle of the road, free thinking middle class citizens.

• Small government
• Low taxes
• Ethical, responsive government
