SMITH: Will Alderman Moron Endorse Paige Beauchemin?

October 14, 2025 Julie Smith

Ward 4 Rep Paige Beauchemin, whose reputation already precedes her, recently appeared in the WMUR studio with Adam Sexton and said, “I think the millionaires are well represented already,” and a bunch of other far-left rhetoric in the very short video that was released last night.

SMITH: “Mr Moron,” That’s What To Call Him

August 15, 2025August 14, 2025 Julie Smith

Alderman Melbourne Moran Jr is supposedly not seeking reelection this fall. Let’s hope, for everyone’s sake, that it’s true because he really is a moron.
