ICYMI – Harry Bean: candidate for NH State House, Belknap County District 2 (Gilford-Meredith)
My name is Harry H. Bean and I live at 234 Saltmarsh Pond Road in Gilford, NH. I am running to be your NH State Rep from Belknap County District 2 (Gilford and Meredith).
Why am I running? One reason is that about a dozen current or past State Reps who have known me for quite some time asked me to after my time on the Gilford Budget Committee. At that point I gave it real consideration and decided that I can make a difference after working inside government and having to deal with government.
Issues that concern me:
Harry Bean: “I am proud to announce my candidacy in Belknap County District 2”
To The Daily Sun,
I am proud to announce my candidacy for state rep in District 2, Gilford and Meredith. I am the third of five generations of Beans named Harry. My family has lived at the same location on Saltmarsh Pond Rd. since 1842.
I have been married to Priscilla for almost 47 years and have three grown children, eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren. We also have two cats and a great dane. Together Priscilla and I have enjoyed traveling together over 150,000 miles on our Harley Ultra Classic over the last 10 years.

For my Gilford readers – a request for your vote!
One of the things that I am proud about the folks that opine here at GraniteGrok is not just that they spend their free time writing here, not just that when they write but that they write well, but that they all DO and not just write. Each of the authors here get off their butts and go and actively do the politics that they advocate for here on the ‘Grok. I am no different, as I actively engage at my local level. For those of you living in Gilford, I ask that you would please vote for Barbara Aichinger, Stuart Savage, and me when you vote next month in our SB-2 sanctioned secret ballot vote.
The following is the Letter that I have submitted to local media outlets:
My name is Skip Murphy and I am running for re-election for the Gilford Budget Committee. I am also endorsing Barbara Aichinger and Stuart Savage for the BudComm and for the following reasons.
