Kingston and East Kingston Voters: Ted Lloyd for State Rep

by
Op-Ed

My name is Ted Lloyd and I’m running for State Rep in Kingston and East Kingston to be your eyes, ears and voice in Concord.

When elected, I will work with our legislative delegation to:

  • keep the NH economy strong and lower our tax burden
  • restore the security of the Northern and Southern borders
  • ensure that our elections are secure
  • bring back excellence to education.

And, I will fight to ensure that NH legislation is always within the boundaries set by our New Hampshire and U.S. Federal constitutions.

Our two towns are fortunate to have a strong delegation to the to the State House:

  • Bill Gannon of Sandown represents us in Senate District 23;
  • Mark Pearson of Hampstead represents us in Rockingham House District 34;
  • Ken Wyler of Kingston and Deb Hobson of East Kingston represent us in Rockingham House District 14.

I know each of them very well — I’ve worked with them, and I’ve campaigned with them.

Rep. Hobson has decided not to run for re-election.

I’ve been encouraged by Rep. Wyler and Rep. Pearson to run for her seat, and I’m working with former Rep. David Welch to become more familiar with the details of the job and the people in the House.

Even as a newcomer to our legislative team, I am well-prepared to work with Ken, Mark, and Bill to listen to you and to work for you in Concord. I will work closely with them to serve the people of Kingston and East Kingston.

My Background

I was born in 1946, an early member of the “baby boom” generation. My father was the son of an immigrant father and a Yankee mother. My mother was the daughter of an immigrant father and a native-born mother. My wife Gisela is a German immigrant and naturalized citizen.

I was raised in a small suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota, and have a liberal arts Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Business Administration.

I joined the Gillette Company in St. Paul in 1979, was transferred to the Boston area in 1989, rose to the ranks of senior management, and retired at the end of 2001.

My values and priorities come from three areas that form the basis of my personal philosophy: God and Church, Family and Community, and our State and Nation:

God & Church

I am a Christian and an active member of Trinity Church in Kingston.

I believe that God and His Church are the fundamental sources of moral standards and virtue in the world.

Family & Community

Gisela and I were married on January 1st, 1997, and our blended family includes two sons, two daughters, and 14 grandchildren.

I believe that the family is the elemental organizing unit of humanity and that the community is the basic building block of civilization.

Gisela and I moved to East Kingston in 2004, and over the past 20 years have made it our adopted “home town.”

I have served on:

  • East Kingston’s New Library Building Committee, which built our new Library
  • the Library Board of Trustees for 10 years
  • the Planning Board
  • the Salary Review Committee
  • the Co-op School Board, and
  • the Trustees of the Trust Funds for the past 11 years, for which I am the chair.

I believe that marriage and the family are the elemental organizing factors for humanity and that the community is the basic building block of civilization.

I firmly believe in giving back to our community.

State & Nation

My father fought in World War II with the U.S. Navy in the Pacific theater. I am a Vietnam-era veteran, having also served in the Navy from 1968 to 1972.

I am currently the Chair of the East Kingston Republican Town Committee.

Previously, I served for five years as the Treasurer and then 1 year as Chair of the 4-town Republican Town Committee, of which East Kingston was a part.

I believe that the people are sovereign and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.

I believe that governments are established by the people to secure those rights.

I believe that our Federal Constitutional Republic was formed to perform certain delegated but limited functions of government.

It is under these terms that we owe allegiance to our Nation.
