Over the years, GraniteGrok has made it part of our Citizen Journalism to cover debates. One reason is that we like listening (and critiquing) who was there, what was said, and to determine their political philosophies with respect to the NH Constitution, US Constitution, and to date, the NH GOP. We did debates, and covered …

To be honest, I would have thought a few more prospective Republican candidates would have shown up at the CNHT Annual Taxpayer Picnic: Like my Exec. Councilor, Joe Kenney who has a primary with Kim Strathdee in District 1 (yes, my personal “please vote for Joe Kenney”) Russell Prescott (who went to the Dark Side …
We reported on this upcoming event last week. Today, the New Hampshire Union Leader has some reporting on Executive Council (EC) District 4 candidate Jane Cormier during the event. A former state representative for Belknap Country’s District 8, Cormier said she plans to emphasize constitutionally conservative principles with any nominations and appointments put before the …

About that interview that I just put up; Peter Martin interviewing Jerry Thibodeau, who is running to unseat long, long, long (er, too long) holder of said seat, Ray Burton–who seems to act like he is entitled to it. While that interview is running in-and-about Northern cable systems (accessing about 19 towns / cities), two …

Continuing on with Conservative Candidates in Belknap County (NH) that were asked to speak at Barbara Aichinger’s home on Lake Winnipesaukee was Jerry Thibodeau. He is running to oust that ossified dinosaur Ray Burton (an elected Republican official who has no problem in endorsing a Democrat where other Republicans were running). Here, he addresses those …

And this is the final question we had for Bob Burns – the final pitch to those that could vote for him for NH Executive Council in District 4. Question 8: Coming up to a primary – why “me” versus those I am running against? Previous: Question 1: Why are you running? Question 2: You …
Contracts. Judges. Appointments. The NH Executive Council does that – but we asked Bob Burns what else the Exec. Council does that he thinks needs to be changed? Question 7: You’ve mentioned contracts, you’ve mentioned judges / dept. heads; what else does the Council do that has a specific interest in your heart that you …
In question 5, Bob mentioned that he did not get into politics to make friends. So, the obvious question was from that snarky but truthful quote from Harry Truman (hey, sometimes you gotta have a wee bit of fun doing these interviews)… Question 6: A comment from Question 5: If you want a friend in …
Leadership counts and one of the primary jobs of the NH Executive Council is to confirm those that have been brought up for appointment for leadership positions like Commissioners of departments and such, and judges. The person doing the nominating certainly has a philosophy as to why a given candidate should be confirmed, so we …
