I support Michael Yakubovich for State Senate District 16, which covers Goffstown, Hooksett, Raymond, Candia, and Manchester ward 1. His opponent, Barbara Griffin, is sending out misleading, negative, dirty, and disgusting postcards.
One postcard said Michael Yakubovich voted once in the Democratic primary for Hillary or Bernie. She is on the House Election Law Committee, how does she know who Michael Yakubovich voted for? The ballot is private. So I hope. Prior to Barbara switching parties in 2014 from Democrat to Republican to win her State Representative race in Goffstown, Barbara voted most of her life as a Democrat. For year after year, decade after decade, she was a Democrat.
One of Barbara’s postcards talked about Michael Yakubovich letting criminals out of jail because he voted to kill HB 1476, a bail reform bill. I was a sponsor of that bill, and Michael Yakubovich and I believe criminals that need to be jailed should be jailed.
Sadly with many amendments to HB 1476, the Senate killed the bill because the amendments caused major Constitutional issues, and it would have locked up people for non-jailable offenses. I told the prime sponsor that I cannot support the bill anymore and Michael Yakubovich, myself, and many others voted to kill this bad bill. She voted for a bill that had major Constitutional issues.
One positive thing I will say about the postcards is they use a good picture of Michael Yakubovich, who I support for the State Senate. Why all the negative, misleading, dirty, and disgusting postcards? I will tell you why. Voters want to vote for a winner, and Michael Yakubovich is a winner. She is scared and knows Michael Yakubovich is the better candidate, so she hopes negative will help.
I support Michael Yakubovich because he knows what less government means, what the Second Amendment means, what the American Dream means, and what the Constitution means. Michael Yakubovich lived under Communism as a child. He understands.
Who do I want in Concord as my State Senator? Michael Yakubovich. He doesn’t send out negative, misleading, dirty, and disgusting postcards like his opponent. He tells what he will do as your next State Senator. Sadly, his opponent is getting bad advice and not telling the good she would do and hopes negative, misleading, dirty, disgusting postcards will get her votes.
I ask that the voters that trusted me for 12 years as their State Representative to please trust me once again and never reward lying, negative postcards. Vote like I will on September 13. Vote Michael Yakubovich for State Senate.
Representative John Burt
Goffstown, Weare, Deering
