The Executive Council in NH is often the red-headed step child that is ignored by the rest of the political world. Outside of NH, people interested in the First the Nation Primary politics go “Executive Huh?” – and even most NH residents have little clue as to what it does and why it is important. And make no mistake – it is important as it is supposed to be the last “brake” on the NH Governor’s decisions when it comes to official appointments and signing of contracts. However, like most, it is subject to mere politics, like when this Democrat dominated EC decided to pass a 300 plus page contract for Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion only gave the Republican Councilors 15 minutes to read all that – and then just passed it into effect. This will have a real effect on the taxpayers of NH in the coming months and years.
We, the writers and authors at GraniteGrok are making only two Endorsements for Executive Council at this time…
- In Executive Council District 4 – we have voted to Endorse Bob Burns over Jim Adams. We have known Bob for a number of years and have talked with him a number of occasions – we know his thinking, we know his stances, and thus, we Trust him to be Consistent.
- Executive Council District 5 – we overwhelmingly and unanimously voted to Endorse Dave Wheeler vs Steve Hattamer. We were impressed with Dave’s stances and his votes during his previous even given all of the opposition that he faced – he remained Consistent to conservative principles. For that, he has earned our Trust.
