Picking a candidate for president in the NH primary can be a complicated process. We all have our values, our favorite candidates, our personal relationships, our policy priorities, and our strategy. Furthermore, we all give different weight to these...

John Buttrick’s Jan. 14 My Turn on the war in Gaza listed the steps he believes the U.S must take to achieve peace in that region. The major flaw in his thinking is he presumes the U.S. and Israel are the only participants in the ongoing tragedy in...

I urge lawmakers to reject SB 341 and protect vital teacher and student relationships that support a child’s identity, help children have hope, and help them learn. This bill, if passed into law, will destroy trust and deprive adolescents of a major...

Chris Christie is correct when he said, “Nikki Haley will get smoked.” There is no stopping Donald Trump among Republicans. We all know it’s his party, and he will be the GOP presidential nominee. But Democrats and independents can use their vote in...

Misshapen “truths” perpetuated by polar-opposite “news” sources have done more to shatter our national culture than can be mended in one election cycle, if indeed one generation. They are driven by business models that thrive on one-sidedness,...

The House Science, Technology, and Energy Committee heard HB 1289 last week, a bill that creates a commission to study the transition of the coal plant in Bow to clean energy. Now is the time to make sure that the transition of this coal plant is done...

In response to Dr. Young (Monitor, 1/7) he extols a mentor obstetrician who was a church-going Republican and performed abortions in Concord out of so-called compassion. Dr. Young fears we are headed back to the Dark Ages after the Dobbs decision and...

Why should Democrats write-in Joe Biden in the NH Democratic primary? To defend our democracy from Trump, who has promised to be “dictator on day one” and to abuse the Dept. of Justice for personal vengeance, and from Republican Party leaders, who...

We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to elect the most Reagan-like presidential candidate we’ve seen. Gov. Ron DeSantis is the only true conservative running for office with an outstanding proven track record. He has delivered on all his promises...

Undeclared or non-party affiliated voters are being deluged in their mailboxes by flyers from Republican candidates in the upcoming primary. But if undeclared voters cast their ballot for any candidates remaining in the Republican race, this is what...

Have it both ways?In total disbelief, I just watched Gov. Sununu on CNN declare that he will support Trump if he becomes the Republican nominee. He tried to walk it back by saying it was “hypothetical.” So, it appears that Sununu is after all, “a...

These are dire times in U.S. politics, as autocracy threatens with Trump poised for another run for the presidency. With the nation’s eye trained on the NH primary, independents, at 40% the state’s largest group of voters, are uniquely empowered. We...
