A VERY important election is being held this Tuesday, June 2nd -- that's like "tomorrow" -- in Lebanon. It's for a seat in the New Hampshire State Legislature.
We lost House Bill 73 by one vote two weeks ago. This could be THE vote that will get it passed on Wednesday if our Democratic candidate wins and he can be sworn in on time!
Besides, he's a mighty good candidate.
His name is Andy White, and he's the Democratic candidate running against Republican Randy Wagoner.
Andy White has said he would have voted for House Bill 436, which has already passed the House and Senate and will be sent to Governor John Lynch shortly. He says he will support HB 73.
The special election is the result of a resignation this past March.
Andy has been a firefighter for Lebanon during the past ten years. He has also served on the Lebanon School Board. People who know him say he is thoughtful and deliberative in his decision making and understands many of the challenging issues that are facing our state.
The Republican Party has spent a lot of money on the Republican's campaign. Their candidate is anti-choice and is against marriage equality
The Lebanon Democrats need help in getting out the vote on Tuesday. Please contact anyone you know in Lebanon and tell them it is a short ballot, and all they have to do is go into the voting location Tuesday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM and cast their vote. The usual polling places will be open, and people can call the Lebanon City Hall if they have questions.
If you have time to spend on the campaign, you can call Democratic State Representative Laurie Harding in Lebanon -- 448-5206, E-Mail: lharding@valley.net
