My name is Greg Sargent and I am running for state representative to serve Newbury and New London to ensure our community, where we treat each other with decency and respect, endures for our children and grandchildren. I am a graduate of NH public schools, including UNH, a Newbury homeowner, a NH business leader, and a lifelong hockey player. I believe a leader should empower, inspire, and uplift. I believe in reproductive rights, a well-funded public education, the right to be who you are free from discrimination, clean water and air, a favorable business and tax environment, and letting teachers teach.
Many of us grew up with exceptional role models and all these rights. The Republican-led NH House, however, has leaders and members who prefer putting others down and banning these rights. For instance, they introduced a radical bill in 2022 to ban abortion at 6 weeks, which the House tabled by a 185 to 143 vote (meaning 143 current Republican representatives presumably support this ban). They also amended the 2021 budget at the last minute to include a harmful school voucher program and the “banned concepts act,” which bans teachers from teaching purportedly “divisive” topics regarding race, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability. This election is bigger than any candidate and voting for someone whose party believes in the above-mentioned rights is paramount to ensure their existence. Please vote for Karen Ebel and me to represent Newbury and New London and to flip the NH House blue.
