Derry has a 16 for 10 primary, the largest in the state. Its candidates run the gamut from extreme RINO, mediocre, excellent, to unknown. The latter may or may not be well known in the community, but they are unknown in the sense of not having voting records. And the RINO Report is based on voting records.The three with excellent records are Erica Layon, David Love, and John Potucek.
The three with good records are Richard Tripp, Katherine Prudhomme-O’Brien, and Jodi Nelson.
The three with mediocre records are Stephen Pearson, Wayne MacDonald, and David Milz.
The last, David Milz, is near RINO. He was particularly bad in 2015-16, poor in 2021-22, and mediocre in 2017-2020.
The two worst by far are Tom Cardon and Brenda Willis. They are former one-term Reps who should stay that way, never to be elected again.
Cardon and Willis are among the worst RINOs of the last decade.
In the 2015-16 session, Cardon voted with Democrats against Republicans 139 times, which placed him third worst RINO in the entire house. He voted nearly as often (48%) with Democrats as with Republicans.
In 2017-18, Willis was first, i.e. worst, among all RINOs, voting 114 times with Democrats against Republicans. Her RINO score was 46%.
Here are some highlights (lowlights?) of their short careers.

On all of these votes at least 80% – in many cases more than 90% – of Republicans voted the other way.
