Some readers are already familiar with my most recent article, “The Future of Nashua’s Library,” which highlights a public comment opportunity on August 6. Additionally, there are two other events worth noting: the first is on Monday night, August 4. It’s called “Women Run” and features three public servant panelists.
Shewanda Daniels Williams (SDW) was installed into the Nashua school board in an 11/18/23 recount that produced 14 “emergency Democrat votes,” flipping incumbent Paula Johnson out of her seat. SDW is also engaged to Alderman Lopez and plans to be addressed as Mrs Lopez, something that should be pointed out to Mrs Maggie Tamposi Goodlander Sullivan, who was Alderman Lopez’s constituent while pretending to live at 44 High Street, which is Ward 4.
One of the first people addressing SDW as Mrs Lopez will be fellow event panelist Heather Raymond, as she also comes from the school board, though she later became a Ward 1 rep in 2022.
The 3rd panelist needs no fancy introduction because it happens to be Ms Melanie Levesque, but I don’t want her to feel slighted, so I’ll say a few factual things about her. She’s the only panelist that doesn’t live in Nashua, though she spends a lot of time at Charlotte School on election days, including CITY elections, and is often joined by her fiscal agent, sister, and business partner Cindy Perkins.
Aside from being members of the enemy camp, the common tie among these three women is their affiliation with the schools and whatever public disservice they’re up to. Melanie was recently elected to the school budget committee in Brookline because she was allowed to run unopposed. Hey, Brookline, to use Marylyn Todd’s famous words, “what is wrong with you?”
Now, about the event itself, here’s an excerpt of an amusing summary that I copied:
Women Run is the Granite State’s only nonpartisan program empowering and training women to run for state and local office. Regardless of party, when women serve they are more likely to support policies that benefit women and girls and are more likely to work across the aisle to reach consensus. However, women represent only 36% of the New Hampshire Legislature. In addition, 38% of New Hampshire towns do not have a single woman on their Select Board. And there is only ONE woman Mayor in New Hampshire. When women run for office, they are just as likely to win as men, however women are less likely to run unless they are encouraged by others.
Note that they’re claiming to be a NONPARTISAN program empowering women. Seeing that we’re in an odd-numbered year, the next election is the city election this November. The mayor is safe until 2027, unfortunately, but there are five school seats on the city ballot, two in Public Works, and several aldermen. (The only three worthy of staying in office happen to be men.)
Do what’s being asked. Rally up some women, genuine adult females, to be clear, and women worthy of office. They don’t have to have been in office before, but if the following women want to run again, please attend the event and bring a campaign sign: Paula Johnson, Doris Hohensee, Laurie Ortolano, Laura Colquhoun, Allison Dyer, Alicia Houston, Lynn L’Heureux, Kristie Hart, Sandra Ziehm, Di Lothrop, Tara Canaway, Elizabeth Ferreira, Edith Dee Hogan and many others. I should add Grokster Beth Scaer to the list, but I think she has an aversion to candidacy. She said she’s unable to attend, but wants someone to be the Marsha Blackburn and ask what a woman is.
Sorry, men, it’s a women’s event, but please let it be known that I do support good men when they’re the correct candidate to vote for. In fact, there was a 10/6/22 Chamber of Commerce candidate forum for senate districts 11, 12, and 13 and executive council district 5 at Nashua Community College, and I was rooting for a men’s grand slam, though the outcome I wanted only happened for 2 of them.
The other library event, which is open to women and men, is a 3-part workshop called The Constitution is the Solution, which starts next Monday, August 11. Please RSVP to Ward 6 Alderman and John Birch Society Chapter Chair Chris Thibodeau, so enough copies of participant packets can be printed and the activity room can be set up accordingly. I took this workshop myself the last time it was offered, and it was definitely time well spent. Though it wasn’t this particular workshop, you-know-who was seen at another JBS event at the library, and someone took a picture just for evidence because sometimes we witness things that are just too darn strange to believe. Hey, maybe someone at the women’s event can remind her about this one!
