I met Maya on September 7, 2021, at the Bedford polls while Linda Camarota’s special election was being stolen from her by way of same-day voting, but I digress already. My encounter with her was pleasant, and she gave me the business card that identified her as some GOP staffer.
She was visibly upset at Murphy’s Taproom after the election results became available.

On November 19, 2021, Chuck Morse voted to sell NH’s state sovereignty to DC despite being aggressively urged not to by the citizenry. He voted with the worst of the senate enemy camp (Rosenwald and D’Allesandro) despite having just heard well-spoken, passionate statements by Senator Giuda and then Gary Daniels. That day in Concord will live in infamy.
Anyway, back to Maya, she became a front-line campaign staffer, along with Rep Sweeney, when Chuck sought higher office. Thank God, General Bolduc beat him in the primary. I would like to credit myself with a small part of that, which absolutely incensed Maya. I stood outside (on public property) for many scheduled Chuck Morse appearances, and Maya would always express her disapproval of my free speech. I even have reason to believe that she was the one who called the Windham police on me outside their high school access road on April 23, 2022. That was when all the Republican delegates had met, but I’m trying to stay on topic here, Maya. Maya’s reactions to my presence (holding a sign criticizing Chuck’s 11/19/21 voting record) have ranged from begging me to stop all the way to outright anger.
Sometime after Chuck lost his primary to General Bolduc, I was told that she was wearing two hats, one being a senate staffer and another whose title escapes me for the moment though the informant expressed concern that it was a conflict of interest (citation needed). On Inauguration Day, I was standing outside Scanlan’s office with a large poster of His Excellency with a piece of tape over his mouth and the word “amen” written on the tape. The caption said, “had the NH9 arrested for peaceful assembly at a public event.”
BTW, the trial for Nurse Terese, one of the NH9, starts on June 28. I said, “hi, Maya,” in a civil manner with a witness present. Her smarmy reply was, “hi Julie, new year, old you.” The witness and I then looked at each other and laughed at the snark in her talk.
Maya recently blocked me from her personal Twitter account, but I understand that any INDIVIDUAL Twittering in a PERSONAL capacity can do that to anyone. Actually, I find this particular situation an amusing badge of honor. But with that said, I have reason to believe that she is responsible for my being blocked from the NH Senate Twitter account. More on that in a moment.
On January 28, the Republican delegates met at the Trump event hosted by Salem High School. Maya, operating in some (citation needed) professional capacity, spotted Nurse Terese and her husband in line waiting to be admitted. Maya was observed loudly saying to Terese something like, “I can’t believe you want to be here with all us RINOs.” She was later observed inside squirming on the aisle floor and in front of the stage with her camera and wearing a dress that most people would not select during an NH winter, if you get my point. I say “squirming” rather than pole dancing because, if asked about it, a possible defense reply might be that she was angling for the perfect photo shot. Whatever.
During a “meeting of the minds” among the Resolve supporters the next day, one participant, whom I will not identify because I hadn’t sought courtesy permission to, expressed concern about “someone’s” behavior at the event the day before. This unidentified person was careful not to mention names, but it was very obvious that Maya was the one being criticized for a variety of subversive and rude behaviors. I leave it up to the readers to make what they want out of that.
This morning while looking for a particular picture that the NH Senate account had previously tweeted, I noticed that I had been blocked. Wow! I should also point out that my reply to one of Tuesdays Women’s Day-themed posts has been removed. For what? Hurting someone’s feelings? Was it because I shared a June 2020 photo of incumbents Sharon, Ruth, and Regina with candidates Denise, Mariellen, and Carla with a caption that said “Team Senate Women (had the last two elections gone correctly)”?
Was it because I insulted the wardrobe of the District 11 incumbent? Was it because I commented that Jeb was wearing His Excellency’s preferred fashion; a baby blue shirt with a brick-red tie? Or was it that I commented on a picture of Jeb writing a postcard to some South Dakota school group with “I hope you said ‘let’s trade governors’?” Oh, oh, oh, I think I know what it was, the 2023 senate team picture! I had commented on that post with a “Melanie’s Century 21 blazer does NOT belong in Gary Daniels’s seat.”
This begs the question of silencing members of the citizenry by social media admins of elected bodies. If any attorneys are reading this, I would like a legal opinion on that for the sake of ALL Live Free or Die Staters. A constitutional scholar has said many times that being polite is NOT a requirement regarding our rights, free speech being one of them.
I have a 91A right-to-know request submitted to find out who the NH Senate Twitter account admin is, and I think it’s Maya. Hopefully, Concord is faster at answering RTKs than Nashua City Hall! We’ll see.
Anyway, back to the original question, who is Maya? I will leave it up to the readers to decide. I don’t want to take credit for any name-calling, but the point of this article is to bring certain FACTUAL occurrences to everyone’s attention and inspire their own creativity.
