Candidate

Why I am running

by: Lucy Edwards

Mon Jun 07, 2010 at 18:27:55 PM EDT

(Thank you, Lucy, and best of luck with your campaign. - promoted by Jennifer Daler)

I am running for state representative in Rockingham District 1, the towns of Candia, Deerfield, Northwood and Nottingham.  I will bring my experience with the strengths and challenges of small town government to the legislature.  I have served as a selectwoman for Northwood, and on many of the town's volunteer boards and committees.  I have participated in the visioning for the town's Master Plan, the creation of a public access broadcasting program, and the establishment of the Northwood Farmers Market as a founding member of the market association.  I am part of a network of volunteers who keep a local newspaper available on-line and in print.

Goodbye Will

by: susanthe

Fri Aug 29, 2008 at 23:31:13 PM EDT

This past Tuesday, Will Cowie of Stark, who was running for state rep in Coos Dist, 2 died on a job site where he was electrocuted. He was 44. Will was a proud veteran, both in the Air Force right after high school, and later in the National Guard. He was active in the American Legion, and in nearly every aspect of his community. He was absolutely devoted to his wife, Margaret. Will was a smart, funny, feminist man. He would have been a great addition to the NH House.

My favorite Will story goes back to the NH Commission on Same Sex Marriage. The Commission had a number of hearings around the state in the summer of 2005. The first one was in Littleton, where I believe the thought was that it would be poorly attended, but those in attendance would be outraged, bigoted, redneck hicks.

Over 100 people were in attendance that night, and only six of them testified against marriage equality. Early in the evening, a tall man with a military haircut came in, wearing a suit, and carrying a Bible. Most folks assumed he was there to speak against same gender marriage. Instead, he said he saw no reason that we shouldn't all have the same rights and privileges, and that he didn't see anything in the book he was holding that said any different. That was Will.

I loved Will. I'll miss him.          obit

My name is Nick Arancio, and I am running for NH Representative in District 5.

I invite you all to my website:  http://nick4nhrep.com/index.html .

There you can learn about me and about some of the ideas I have.  My campaign is all about ideas.  

I would like everyone to review my ideas and provide feed back.  

Forgive my picture, it was taken on my laptop's webcam.  The previous picture was no better ;-)

Seriously, please take a few minutes and read it.  If you want to start with my ideas, and skip the "who am I info", then here is that link:
http://nick4nhrep.com/html/pro...

Enjoy, I hope you like them, or at least see some potential.  But, honest feed back is always best, so if you don't like them please tell me.
