This occurred on Tuesday evening, September 26, before a completely full Wiggin Memorial Library conference room in Stratham. Pat reintroduced himself to the audience by discussing his life experiences that will bring his knowledge, people skills, problem-solving skills, and strong leadership abilities, to the Senate just as he did as a New Hampshire House Member for 12 years, all on the Ways and Means Committee, and serving as Vice Chair for three terms under long-time chairperson Norm Major.
He discussed his life’s successes, academically, athletically, and professionally as a principal/owner of a hospital operations consulting firm. Pat then laid out his position on just some of the issues currently facing New Hampshire, namely, maintaining our business-friendly environment; the importance of low taxes; the need for reasonable, but non-stifling regulation; the importance of parental rights with safeguards against abusive parents which already exist in statute for the most part; for continued support for a ban on abortion at 24 weeks (with a few exceptions), emphasizing the need for continued dialog between all sides of this issue; how the illegal immigration crisis is impacting NH; about energy costs and the need for a rational realistic energy policy; voter integrity that ensures everyone eligible to legally vote can do so and the need for our voting processes to be as fraud-proof as possible, and the biggest, but most silent issue facing New Hampshire, which is our six-billion-dollar pension liability.
Mr. Abrami relayed what Senate President Jeb Bradley told him at a meeting several months ago as he was contemplating a run that, if elected, he would hit the ground running as State Senator given all his years as an active and productive member of the House, who always conducted himself in a statesman-like manner.
