My name is Stephen Scaer, and I am running for the NH State Senate in District 13, which encompasses Nashua Wards 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9. I have lived in Nashua for 28 years.
My wife Beth and I have raised two daughters, one who graduated from Nashua High South and the other from the Academy for Science and Design charter school. I am asking for your vote in the September 13 primary and the November 8 general elections.
I’m a pro-life candidate who will fight for school choice, for Second Amendment rights, and for limited government. I’m an advocate for protecting gender-confused children from puberty blockers, wrong-sex hormones, and disfiguring surgeries, and I often take to the sidewalk to talk about the dangers of medicalizing children.
I’ve worked with men and women across the political spectrum to post billboard messages promoting the book “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters” and I collaborated with feminists to post a billboard message defining women as human females.
The First Amendment
We are losing our rights to freedom of speech, religion, and assembly to gender ideology and critical theory. Gender identity laws are being used to compel speech by forcing teachers, students, and public employees to use preferred pronouns. This year the NH legislature considered a bill that would have forced even staff and students at religious schools to pretend girls are boys if they say so.
The Second Amendment
The response to riots in progressive cities demonstrates that we can’t rely on our officials to protect our lives and property, and even recent history shows us how much powerful governments despise unarmed populations. The Second Amendment is as important as ever.
Kids Need Their Moms and Dads
As President Barack Obama said in his Fathers’ Day speech, “Of all the rocks upon which we build our lives, we are reminded today that family is the most important. And we are called to recognize and honor how critical every father is to that foundation.”
Although no family is perfect and tragedies often separate children from their moms and dads, we know children with their own dads at home have much lower rates of mental illness, addiction, homelessness, addiction, and suicide. We need to create policies that encourage dads to stay involved in their children’s lives.
Educational Freedom
Children in low-income neighborhoods are often trapped in dangerous, underperforming public schools, while the wealthy congregate in exclusive neighborhoods and towns with top-ranked schools or send their children to expensive private schools. That’s not right. Moms and dads are the most qualified to find schools that meet their children’s needs and interests.
