I am Larry Borland from Wolfeboro and I am running on the Republican ticket in the September primary for the New Hampshire House of Representatives for Carroll Co. District 6 (Wolfeboro & Tuftonboro).
Announcement: NH State Rep Mike Sylvia Running for Re-Election: The Truth About Oxygen
In a letter on Tuesday, July 5, 2022 my Democrat opponent for state representative in Belmont did his best to misdirect attention away from the disasters of the Biden administration. While he throws insults at the excellent management of our award-winning county nursing home, he diverts the public eye from the crisis of health care sweeping the … Read more
Misconduct of Supervisor of the Checklist Regis Roy – Electioneering on Duty
From the largest of NH Cities to the smallest of hamlets, corruption happens. Bad things happen – sometimes by accident but more often, on purpose. When Doug and I started GraniteGrok, we often said that “what is happening here is happening in your town (even if a bit different)”. Sure, you may have known your … Read more
Granite Staters Lose Rights When RINOs Run Wild
New Hampshire statesmen have always known our Constitutional Republic is fragile, and we need to stand firm to protect it. Benjamin Franklin said it best: We have “a Republic,” but only “if you can keep it.” Unfortunately, being the first Constitution framed by an American Commonwealth, we now find that our great State is far … Read more
Born Again on the Fourth of July
The United States of America was born of a minority of people overcoming seemingly impossible odds. Serious students of history tell us the founders who fought for their independence from tyrannical governance credited divine intervention throughout the Revolutionary War. Their enemy, the British Empire, boasted the greatest naval and military war machine on earth. The … Read more
I Didn’t Do It, I Have Everyone Else to Blame
Why am I reminded of the song “Cell Block Tango” from the great Broadway and movie musical “Chicago” (where all the lady killers sang and danced to “I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it”) each and every time Joe Biden gives a speech? Biden has decided it’s the responsibility of your local gas station … Read more
Is It Wrong To Ask Questions Anymore? Is It Wrong To Verify The Truth?
The editor of a local news outlet was stating how wonderful the Jan. 6th investigation was going. How the committee was focusing on Trump’s PAC spending money in places it should not spend it, like paying for expenses at one of Trump’s hotels.
No Legislative Purpose to the Jan. 6 Committee
There’s no legislative purpose to the Jan. 6 Committee. Its “report” is a professionally produced television propaganda extravaganza intended to smear former President Donald Trump and prevent his 2024 re-election as president. Breaking a 200-year tradition, Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi appointed all committee members, only people who voted to impeach President Trump; the Republican leader’s … Read more
Another Trip Down the Left’s Hypocrisy Highway
It’s time for another trip down the Left’s Hypocrisy Highway. With so many topics, it’s difficult to stay current. In no particular order: Per Jen Psaki, President Joe Biden said that protesting outside Supreme Court justices’ homes is understandable because the protesters are “hurt, angry, and passionate”. Why didn’t the people who protested on Jan. … Read more
Cathy Qi Running For State Representative
Cathy Qi of Bethlehem is running for a seat in the House of Representatives in the newly created District 2 of Grafton County. The single-seat district encompasses the towns of Bethlehem and Franconia.
States Cannot Be Compelled to Use Resources to Enforce Federal Laws
Another example of how the Left is consistently inconsistent was presented by a letter to the editor from Eric Taussig replying to Rep. Richard Littlefield in regard to HB 1178. This bill, recently signed into law by Governor Sununu, will prevent New Hampshire authorities from enforcing any federal gun-grabbing laws passed in D.C.

Veterans, SB418, And Clean Elections
A marquee message recently displayed in my town of Loudon accused me of being anti-veteran, due to my support of SB418, an election integrity measure recently signed into law by Governor Chris Sununu. Criticism—fair and unfair—goes with the territory for elected officials. While one can’t respond to every slam, replies are occasionally required. This is such an occasion.
We Don’t Need The Government To Care For Us …
Today, it’s with great pleasure that I am announcing my candidacy as a Republican State Representative for Grafton District 18. District 18 includes the towns of Enfield, Canaan, Grafton, Orange, Dorchester, Groton, Hebron, Bridgewater, Bristol, and Alexandria.
So the Editors at the Laconia Daily Sun believe that the US Constitution GIVES us our Rights?
In the June 27 edition of the Sun, Richard Tracy made a great point about rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, the editors at the Sun may not fully understand the concept of inalienable rights. The headline of the letter read, “Second Amendment at core gives right to self-defense.”
Are Pandering Politicians Painting New Hampshire Statesmen Purple?
Government should be a platform where people engage and debate – that’s what our Founders enshrined in the Constitution, so good ideas and worthy candidates could emerge through political discourse. It is a system meant to raise up leaders of the people who legislate for what is important to the communities they serve. In New … Read more
Dealing with Maggie Hassan
Well, here we are. I’m an old guy. I was born a couple of years before Ike Eisenhower was elected US President. It was at the height of American power. Eisenhower had fought the Nazis to surrender. Our industrial power was unmatched in pounding out everything from slingshots, aircraft carriers, and to space weapons. What … Read more
Gunstock Area Commission: Finally, the Elephant in the Room Is Addressed
And I just loved the way that Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch tried to project that he’s both a victim while being an accuser. I’ll return to this in a bit. First, the videos from the meeting. They are edited for time and issue and if anyone wants the entire meeting, I can provide that as well. … Read more
Night of Rage
Well, we were promised more “mostly peaceful” protests if SCOTUS dared overturn Roe vs Wade. They did and fulfilling their promise “Jane’s Revenge”, a radical group of a radical movement called for “If Row can’t be safe neither can you”. Sure enough, all those mostly peaceful protestors (aka terrorists) turned out, clashed with police in … Read more
Belknap County Republican Committee – Keynote Speaker: JR Hoell vs DCYF
A couple of weeks ago was the monthly meeting of the BCRC where former NH State Representative (and has filed to run again) JR Hoell was the main speaker of the night. His topic was his run-in with DCYF that, apparently, wanted to take his children away from him and his wife simply because he … Read more
