By State Representatives Mike Moffett, Jose Cambrils, and Alvin See A political “flyer” circulated in Canterbury criticized that community’s three State Representatives (us) for voting against HB651 earlier this year.

September 16, 2024August 24, 2024 Spike

On Friday, Rep. Michael Moffett (R-Loudon) defended himself against a “Hit Piece” from Julie Smith regarding HB-1002 (now law), the “Right-to-know tax.” Numerous Groksters submit Right-to-know requests and copy the text of them here, either to show how to talk tough to office-holders, to show how to burden office-holders to distract them from eating out … Read more

Response to The Hit-Piece On Me …

August 23, 2024August 23, 2024 Michael Moffett

Folks who know me understand that when I get poked, I often poke back. Probably a Marine thing. So, when The Grok published a sad screed by a Granite State bomb thrower, I considered whether to respond. Friends advised against it. “Just ignore it.” The thing is that the truth is important, and I don’t … Read more

Enemy of 91A and Enemy of Trump

August 21, 2024August 21, 2024 Julie Smith

When I saw Rep Moffett’s article announcing his run for reelection, I remembered that I recently (at Loudon Old Home Day on 8/10) learned that he’s in a primary.

I just read Rep. Mike Moffett’s (R) recent Op-Ed in the New Hampshire Journal regarding New Hampshire’s First in the Nation primary (FITN). I found his article a little disingenuous.

Working Together, We’ve Made Positive Changes for New Hampshire

August 10, 2022 Op-Ed

I’m excited to be running for reelection as state representative for Merrimack County’s District 4 (Canterbury and Loudon). Serving in the legislature is not for everyone, but I love it. The pay in New Hampshire is only $100 a year, but for me, the rewards are intrinsic.

Rule #2 for the SAU46 Chair (Merrimack Valley School District) – Don’t Threaten to Arrest Everyone…

September 23, 2021 Skip

At the 9/20 MVSD School Board, it was clear that the NH State Reps were going to be stymied by that Board. All of the former’s issues were at the bottom of the list even though this meeting requested by them was a result of their constituents complaining that the Board was ignoring them.

A Tale of Two New Hampshires

April 17, 2020 Op-Ed

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness.” (“A Tale of Two Cities”). Charles Dickens’ words may aptly be applied to 2020 New Hampshire vs. 2010 New Hampshire—an age of wisdom vs. and age of foolishness re: state fiscal policy.
