Another installment of “How your local NH State House Reps voted” – we’ve done a couple but this is now going to be a regular feature. After all, running for the NH House shouldn’t be just a name recognition or beauty pageant deal – one should be voting based on how they voted (if they are an incumbent). We’ll be doing this by location area (e.g., not always by a specific NH House District) so there may be either “overages” or “under-ages” depending on your point of view.
So, Brentwood and Epping, “How your State Reps voted April 4”?
HB564, protecting criminals by disarming law-abiding citizens. Passed. Anti-Second amendment and Article 2-A
