Anyone who knows Shannon Chandley, who represented NH Senate District 11 from 2018-2020, and before that Amherst in the NH House, knows that her character is beyond reproach. She is an incredibly hard worker for all her causes. She demonstrates civility and works towards bipartisanship. She is a uniter not a divider. Her many achievements in and out of office are truly remarkable. These achievements include helping to pass a budget that prioritized quality public education, property tax relief, public safety and a strong state economy. As a champion for NH’s environment, she worked for legislation to keep our drinking water safe. She advocates for women’s freedom in terms of reproductive rights and supports law enforcement.
Shannon has been accused of wanting to raise taxes. The truth is that Shannon is opposed to an income tax, a sales tax and has voted to lower property taxes. She is against defunding public schools in order to increase funding of private and religious schools which will raise property taxes. If her opponents tell you that Shannon is all about raising taxes, don’t believe them. Shannon and many other Democratic candidates are facing an obstacle in this election: gerrymandering. The Republicans in our legislature passed redistricting legislation which Governor Sununu signed, making it easier for Republicans and more difficult for Democrats to win. They have tried to rig the elections. Gerrymandering should be illegal but isn’t at present. Please vote for Shannon Chandley. We need her voice in the NH Senate.
