It’s not the first time this has happened and won’t be the last (many noticed this during school board elections). Democrats have run as Republicans in the past, in areas they know Democrats don’t stand much of a chance of winning.
There’s probably more than one Democrat running as a Republican this year as well, as pointed out in the story about Cindy Creteau-Miller by Skip.
In the Brentwood area; however, there’s a Democrat running as an Independent – Russ Kelly. Kelly is running for the Brentwood, Fremont, Danville House seat. Republican Josh Yokela currently holds the seat and is running for re-election. Funny, Democrats didn’t run anyone on the Democrat ticket, yet they have in the past and they are running a Democrat in the Brentwood State Representative race.
I hadn’t really heard much about Kelly, so I decided to check out his website. It was pretty scant and had absolutely nothing about his stance on 2nd Amendment Rights (HUGE in the Granite State, as you all know).
So, I decided to ask Kelly on his official candidate Facebook page, as a potential constituent, how he would have voted on Constitutional Carry and how he would vote on Red Flag Laws (two extremely important pieces of legislation in the Granite State). Crickets. So, I asked again (he was responding to other questions). Crickets again.
Then, rather than respond to the question, like a coward who has been outed, he blocked me (this is typical of Democrat candidates who don’t want real questions asked of them and know when people can smell a rat).
In a more generic response to another woman who asked about his 2nd Amendment stance, Kelly brought up hunting. If you support the 2nd Amendment, you know it has absolutely NOTHING to do with hunting. And you can tell from his response that he wants to ‘wait and see’ how gun control regulations (Including funding for Red Flag Laws) pan out at the federal level. And in typical Democrat GUN CONTROLLER fashion he says the following: “if you’re a law abiding citizen, there should be no issue owning a gun…”
Talk about a RED FLAG regarding Russ Kelly.
Since this was becoming very clear, I decided to check his financials and B I N G O!!!!!!!!! I was 100% correct about Kelly really being a Democrat. Not only is he being financially supported by Liz McConnell (former extreme gun control rep who was a one-termer in Brentwood and pushed every Bloomberg bill she could get her hands on) but also Eric Turer, an extreme leftist running as the Democrat in the Brentwood House race.
A majority of the people on his list are verified Democrats from voter lists and even Martha Fuller-Clark’s husband Geoffrey Clark supports Kelly and gave him $1,000. Yes, THAT Martha Fuller-Clark. The former NH Senator who was well known for ‘Martha’s Flophouse’ where she had temporary campaign workers registered as NH voters, who then voted in our elections. The Clark’s are also hardcore leftists who are supporting Tom “you will be vaxxed, or else” Sherman for Governor.

If Kelly was truly an Independent, and someone who wouldn’t vote lock step with the extreme agenda of NH Democrats, none of these people would be giving him a dime. This isn’t the first rodeo with Democrats scamming voters, which is why they are doing it again. They know the Brentwood, Fremont, Danville area typical votes Republican, and given the past two years of insanity with what Biden and Democrats have been doing, they know a Democrat would absolutely fall flat in this district. So… their brilliant idea is to run a Democrat as an ‘Independent’ and Russ Kelly jumped right on board… because Russ Kelly is really a Democrat.
Voters in this district DESERVE TO BE TREATED BETTER than to be scammed and lied to. That’s one reason they don’t typical vote Democrat in the first place.
