Mayor Karen Liot Hill

(Hoo-ray! Congrats, Karen. - promoted by Dean Barker)

Back on February 12th - the day of Dr. Buckey's Senate withdrawal - I wrote here about a fellow Young Democrat:

Karen Liot Hill is a super-talented Young Dem and I'm confident ... no, I know ... she will be a salient voice for progressive issues now and for many years to come. She's a key Young Democratic leader to keep your eyes on.

Only six weeks later I hate to say "I told you so," but, ... well, for those of us outside of the Upper Valley there is terrific news: yesterday Karen was elected Mayor of Lebanon!

http://politickernh.com/liot-h...

Lebanon is a great place - home to our state's two largest private employers (Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and DH Eye Clinic) and filled with young, self-motivated residents that comprise much of the backbone of the NH Democratic Party. Now that great place has a dynamic and progressive new leader. Karen and so many others give me hope that Young Democrats are quietly, yet assuredly, making N.H. a better state, community-by-community.

There has never been a more important time for young people to serve our communities. Congratulations Karen.

Now that is working on your "A" (0.00 / 0)
Congratulations! (0.00 / 0)
My NCAA bracket may be a mess, but the political bracket is looking good. The New Hampshire Republicans are in trouble, they don't match up well with us at all.

We have Ray. They have Fergus.

We have John Lynch. They have, er, uh, Joe Kenney?

We have Jeanne Shaheen and they have young John.

And in the mayoral bracket, they have Frank Guinta and we have Karen.

Not even close.

Ugh. Guinta. (0.00 / 0)
We need to work hard through November 4, sleep in on November 5, and then get to work on the Manchester off-year election.

This is terrific news! Good for you, and good for Lebanon!  
Let's get her on BH! (0.00 / 0)

I voted for Karen (0.00 / 0)
as my Ward 3 councilor and am thrilled she's been selected mayor by her co-councilors.  The immediate issue on her plate is zoning; proposed changes were just rejecte at the polls.  She's very good at what she does, both process and policy, so I'm confident she'll find the right balance between the pro- and anti- growth crowds.
got any potholes ? n/t (0.00 / 0)

A-yup, and major frost heaves (0.00 / 0)
and we also pay a view tax that I'm not so happy about (the new tax valuation on my house was done one month after we purchased it and came in $$ higher than our purchase price), but that is a topic for another day

We miss you at Dartmouth, but way to go in Leb.!
