I am Kristine Perez from Londonderry, District 16, running for State Representative. I am a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a retired RN. I am a State Delegate and was very disappointed in the number of Delegates and Representatives that participated in the NH GOP platform meeting in the Spring.

Texans Must Remain Resolute and Reelect Attorney General Ken Paxton
Dear Attorney General Paxton, I remember well when you first announced your plan to run for the Attorney General of Texas in 2014. All your friends and family were happy, excited, and supportive. We all believed in your leadership, principles, brevity, and conservative values.
21 State Attorneys General Question Federal Overreach in Democrat “Rescue Bill” – NH is Not One of Them
One of the rotten Easter eggs buried in the 1.9 trillion-dollar Degenerate Democrat Spending Bailout bill (The American Rescue Plan Act) is a provision that could be interpreted to grant the Feds extortion power over tax cuts at the state level.
Biden’s Nominee for AG Says, It’s Not Domestic Terrorism If It Happens at Night
The more we see of Judge Garland, the less there is to like. Blocking his SCOTUS nomination was a very good thing because he claims that Antifa and Black Lives Matter attacks on federal courthouses are not domestic terrorism.
I Strongly Urge You to Refuse The Ill-Conceived and Undeserved Nomination of Gordon MacDonald to NH’s Highest Court.
Governor Sununu, Members of the Executive Council, my name is Dr. David Strang. I am a partner in Central NH ER Associates. I am a former Chair of the EMS Coordinating Board for the State of NH.
Impeach Gordon MacDonald Too.
A few days ago, Skip posted about an effort to impeach Chris Sununu: My response is: What the hell is there to investigate? The GOP “leaders” of the House and Senate should simply tell Chris to end his junk-science state-of-emergency (the purpose of which is to promote and advance the Chris Sununu brand, not to … Read more
The (Arguably) Most Important Question in the Gubernatorial Race That Everyone is Ignoring
Do you remember the ConVal education funding lawsuit? From my post back in June of last year: So last week, a single Superior Court Judge decided he was the State’s Education-Czar and implicitly ordered -while, of course, claiming he was doing no such thing- the State to -at a minimum- triple spending on public education … Read more
THE FIX WAS IN: Attorney General Tanked SB3 Case – Judge Says No Proof of Domicile Needed to Vote in New Hampshire
This: Here is the link to the decision, which is a joke. If you want to see a liberal-activist judge ply his trade, give it a read. But all I think you need to know in order to know why it is once again legal for someone to show up in New Hampshire at a … Read more
24 Important Takeaways from Attorney General Barr on the FBI and FISA Abuse
Attorney General Barr had plenty to say about misconduct at the FBI. What they didn’t do, what they did (and shouldn’t), and what they should have done. Here are the highlights from a recent interview with the Epoch Times
Bet You Didn’t Hear This – New York’s Hinkey Climate Lawsuit Against Exxon has Been Dismissed
Back in 2016, left-wing environmental groups and their wealthy donors teamed up with like-minded attorneys general. Together they formulated a plan. Use the force of law to silence dissent: Sue climate deniers. The bigger, the better.
New Hampshire Attorney General Undermining the Voter-Residency Requirement
House Bill 1264, which became effective in July, made the act of voting in New Hampshire a declaration of residency in New Hampshire, triggering all the responsibilities that come with being a resident of New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Attorney General, however, seems intent on undermining House Bill 1264. The “Election Law Unit” issued advice … Read more
Say Hello to the Claremont Income Tax … and Thank You to our Wonderful Attorney General
So last week, a single Superior Court Judge decided he was the State’s Education-Czar and implicitly ordered -while, of course, claiming he was doing no such thing- the State to -at a minimum- triple spending on public education … which would require a massive expansion in spending by State government (at least an additional $1.6 … Read more
NY AG Eric Schneiderman (D) Quits After Four Women Accuse Him Of Assault
The guy who secretly colluded with anti-fossil-fuel activists to silence global warming skeptics and oil companies has another secret. Democrat New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has been accused of abusing women.
Governor Maggie Hassan Nominates Joseph Foster for N.H. Attorney General
I guess the good news is that Governor Hassan did not nominate gambling Lobbyist Lucy Hodder. Instead, the Union Leader reports today that Joseph Foster is her pick for NH Attorney General.
Foster is a former NH House rep 1994-1998, former State Senator from 2002 to 2008 (D- Nashua), in the employ of McLane law in Portsmouth. (I’ve never heard of him so I have culled a few things from the Internet– but feel free to add anything in comments we should know or explore moving forward.)
Here is a quick overview of his personal details and professional experience, and here is a link to his large dollar political donation history.
The only details we have of his political preferences, short of digging through his legislative voting record, are his Liberty Ratings from 2006 to 2008 and a Project Vote Smart political survey completed in 2004.
State Senator Joseph Foster’s Liberty ratings…2006 D+, 2007 D, 2008 – Constitutional threat. (Well, isn’t that promising?) Oh, and it does look like Foster has experience as a lobbyist, I’m just not sure representing whom exactly.
The complete Project Vote Survey is on the jump.
Rules of Misconduct and Conflicts of Interest
On the matter of Governor Hassan considering Gambling Lobbyist Lucy Hodder as her next Attorney General, the indispensable Ed Mosca provides more fuel for that fire.
How would it not be a violation of at least the spirit of Professional Rule of Misconduct 1.11 for Hodder to be involved with Millennium Gambling as AG; as I read it the spirit of the rule suggests she shouldn’t even be involved as Hassan’s counsel:
(d) Except as law may otherwise expressly permit, a lawyer currently serving as a public officer or employee:
…
(2) shall not:
a. participate in a matter in which the lawyer participated personally and substantially while in private practice or nongovernmental employment, unless the appropriate government agency gives its informed consent, confirmed in writing; or
