Endorsement: Dan Dwyer, State Senate

As State Senate President, Peter Bragdon lays claim to a number of accomplishments, he also owns a number of disappointments, one of the most egregious of which is our continued membership in the Regional Greenhouse Gas initiative (RGGI).   I hold him solely responsible for our continued participation in this unconstitutional scheme which the Democrat majority that proceeded him, tied us to, which the House and Senate tried to repeal, and which only the Senate failed to override when vetoed by Governor Lynch.

RGGI should be deemed unconstitutional.  The compromise legislation is laughable.  Bragdon has been in Concord too long.  It is time for a change.  And Dan Dwyer offers us that opportunity.

Early Turnout in Merrimack…

NH Votes - I votedI hit the polls early this morning, arriving at 7:15, and the traffic in and out was steady, even brisk.  No long lines, and the presentation of ID posed no problems.

I also ran into Lenette Peterson, Jeanine Notter, Chris Buda (Local GOP Chair), George Markwell (Merrimack School Board), saw a few other folks as well, and then while getting gas overheard two people talking about how they had already voted while I was paying way too much to put gas into my car.  I think turnout will be exceptional for a primary.

I guess the the next question is…who do I think is going to win?

GraniteGrok Endorsement – NH State Senate District 23, 11, and 29: Dennis Acton, Dan Dwyer, Phil Greazzo

As I said it my last post, it’s time to hurry up and get these out before it is too late.  In finishing up in the NH State Senate races, we are making two endorsements:

  • Reduce and eliminate burdensome taxes and regulations to create jobs here in NH.
  • Fight federal health care mandates and work for a system that puts the patient first.
  • Unlock the power of innovation to improve our schools. A skilled workforce attracts business.
  • Protect NH citizens & businesses from federal government overreach and abuse of power.

In each case, the individual is more empowered to make the decisions that best fits him or her, more freedom in education, and act as a barrier to those in government that believe that Government knows what’s best for us all – even when they don’t.

He will be taking on long term Liberal dinosaur Lou D’Allesandro in the general election.  Phil has performed well in the NH House on a variety of issues and has our full confidence that he is the person that will carry out the mission of rightsizing NH State Government and protecting NH taxpayers and their rights.

And a recommendation:

Yes, not quite to the level of a full out endorsement but we believe that Dan is a better choice for those most interested in enhancing individual liberty and freedoms which necessarily roll back the size and intrusion of NH State Government.  While the Senate did pass a fair amount of good legislation this past session, many of the grassroots were sorely disappointed by the many pieces of major legislation that did not pass or that was bottled up or tabled; we lay that at the feet of Dan’s opponent (who, btw, lost to Dan in the NH Young Republicans straw poll big time).

Quick Thought – Bragdon / Dwyer

From Pindell on his weekly Ups and Downs Political Standing column: Dan Dwyer: The Merrimack Selectman wants to primary Senate President Peter Bragdon, but Bragdon will file showing $63,000 cash on hand already in his campaign account. Can Dwyer compete with that? As a Conservative activist, I have been sorely disappointed in the NH Senate … Read more
