This week, the House met to vote on all remaining Senate bills. Since the Senate has been working away, quite a few bills some members strongly supported have been killed or drastically amended, one way or another.

Knowing how much Ed Mosca loves Rooss Berry, I thought I would share with you the following recounting of events from a member of the House of why Berry is no longer a state representative:
NH House Republican Attendance for 5/9/2024
Attendance was better this week than last for Republicans, by which I mean more Demcorats were absent. And a few folks we don’t typically see missed votes. They likely had other obligations that could not be avoided. That happens with a citizen legislature. And then there were O’Hara and Trottier.
What We Learn at EVERY Week’s House Session
Looking at a recent installment in Judy Aron’s series of posts about ‘What we learned from this week’s House session’, it occurs to me that it would be nice if instead of trying to make sure the gun is pointed in ‘the right direction,’ Republicans would focus on unloading it, and even disassembling it.
OUR State House
I don’t want anyone confusing this article with a routine one from Carol McGuire, who always does a great job and names her articles “YOUR State House.” Therefore, I’m calling this “OUR State House.” Carol writes about the House, but this piece is on the Senate and the Executive Council.
NH House Republican Attendance – Is Back!
After two weeks “off” from session days, you’d have thought the slim majority would have returned refreshed and in numbers. Nope. Republicans were in the minority today (or so I am told). Democrats claimed some scalps.

2024 RINO Report Card (Through Crossover)
The New Hampshire General Court (i.e., our legislature) has reached “crossover.” The House has acted on all its bills and has started to deal with Senate Bills. The Senate has done the converse. I have crunched the numbers – i.e., the voting records of 2024 through crossover – to determine objectively which members are RINOs … Read more
Did State Reps Know What They Were Voting For?
This is an open letter to the 67 Republicans who voted with 152 Democrats to pass bills in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals on March 28, 2024. Did you realize what you were voting for?
New Cross Referenced List and Merrimack Reps.
Think of me as the guy who doesn’t always drink beer, but when he does, he prefers Dos Equis. It’s funny I should think of that because I am presently a paying customer in the new Mexican joint in the Bertucci’s building on Amherst Street, using their Wi-Fi hot spot because my former employer’s product is being a POS.
Your State House – A Comprehensive Look At Last Week’s Legislative Activity
This week, the House met to consider all bills that didn’t go to a second committee. Since this was a deadline, many bills we wanted to kill would be tabled instead since the motion to table is not debatable. Anything on the table after this week would need a 2/3 vote to do anything, so … Read more
88.7%* Said the NH House Should NOT Be a Paid “Professional” Legislature
Late last week, I was checking on X (still pronounced ‘Twitter’), and one of the Grok Account followers shared an update from someone who claimed that 87% of those polled thought New Hampshire should have a paid professional legislature. What would be the result if ‘Grok ran that poll?
Trojan Horses in our (NH) House?
The ancient story of and lessons about the Trojan horse should not easily be forgotten. The Trojan horse was supposedly a large hollow wooden horse constructed by the Greeks to attempt to gain entrance into Troy during the Trojan War. The Greeks, pretending to withdraw from the war, sailed away from the entrance to Troy, … Read more
NH House Republican Attendance for the Week of 3-28-2024
Another week, another opportunity to get emails from disgruntled Reps who missed one vote. That seems to be the cycle. The folks who’ve been diligent get miffed, while the gross offenders could care less. That’s fine; this is, after all, to alert the people that a handful consistently refuse to represent.
Jose’ E. Cambrils for NH State Rep. 2025-2026
Incumbent NH State Representative Jose’ Cambrils is running for re-election in Merrimack County District 4 – Canterbury / Loudon.
Jose’ was born in Victoria De Las Tunas, Cuba in 1960. He and his family immigrated (legally) to the United States in 1965 to escape from the Communist Castro regime.
Republican Enemies of Transparency
I’m going to call a spade a spade. There will be no sugarcoating and no special treatment for any reps that I once liked and respected, so let’s get started. Consider me the National Transportation Safety Board examining the wreckage.

Even More Thoughts on Reps’ Private Email Accounts
With the Right To Know Tax, aka HB 1002, awaiting its big day in the House, many readers have already seen my first piece on private email addresses being used by members of the legislature for public business and my follow-up piece. As a result, there has been some discussion, which I’m pleased to say has been thoughtful and civil so far.
