On Jan. 21, Hooksett voters will take to the polls to select a Republican replacement for Dick Marple, who is sorely missed in our community. Rep. Marple was a principled champion for liberty and more knowledgeable on the Constitution than anyone I’ve met. It would be my honor to fill his seat in Concord and defend that legacy.

Hooksett deserves a legislator who will defend the New Hampshire advantage, stand against all new taxes and fees, and stand up for you.

By the time I am seated, this legislative session would be nearly over, but I would have the important duty of standing with Gov. Sununu to sustain his vetoes and protect the Live Free or Die way of life.

Hooksett, it would be my honor to represent you in Concord and protect your freedoms, rights and wallets. Therefore, I humbly ask for your support on Jan. 21 in the GOP primary for state representative.
