This coming Wednesday, 6/5/24, marks the beginning of candidate filing time, which ends the following Friday, Flag Day and Trump’s birthday. I have yet to get any intel on the enemy camp’s calendar, but there are three up-ballot people on our side who have appointments with Scanlan (and the media circus) or official intentions to file on opening day.
Chuck Morse is said to be the early bird at 8 am. Seeing that Kelly Ayotte is the State Royal Family’s “chosen one,” I’ll be voting for Chuck, but I’m writing this more to rally up the troops for two others. More on them in a moment.
Let me say for the record that work and other obligations often get in the way, and I’m in no position to choose other people’s vacation time. But with that said, please consider a trip to Concord on Wednesday because TWO great candidates worthy of support will be filing in the afternoon, one on my own ballot and one not.
If you happen to vote in one of the nine towns I’m about to list, you’ll have an opportunity to meet two up-ballot candidates on YOUR ballot. Those towns are Loudon, Pittsfield, Chichester, Epsom, Pembroke, Allenstown, Deerfield, Northwood and Nottingham. However, support is welcome from everyone, no matter where you call home.
The two candidates are Lily Tang Williams (for Congress) and Nurse Terese (for Executive Council).
Readers should be familiar with both of them by now, but please explore the pages in their links as most frequently asked questions will be answered there. Though not required, please RSVP to them if you plan to attend so enough signs can be provided for the sign waves.
There is one housekeeping reminder worth mentioning. Please respect the rules against signs inside Flags Hall, which is the atrium you walk into when using the front door. Most of us have a decent relationship with security, and Wednesday is all about making the candidates look their very best. I would even recommend using the side entrance, though they won’t shoot you if you’re just quickly walking through to get to the stairs/elevator. They also don’t allow totems inside the building because of all the old paintings on the hallway walls.
Here’s hoping to see lots of fellow supporters there!
