18 Out of 21 ‘Good Guys’ Won Their Primary, Tuesday

by Spec Bowers

In earlier RINO Reports I targeted five RINOs for defeat in the primaries. The good news is that two of those five were defeated. In Grafton 3, Paul Schirduan defeated former Rep Bonnie Ham. He now faces the incumbent Democrat in a swing district. I will be donating to help him win. In Strafford 3, … Read more

Primary Day Results Roundup

by Steve MacDonald

Months or years of work ended yesterday for some, most, but not all. The New Hampshire state primary (not to be confused with the First in the Nation Presidential Primary) has passed. Ballots were cast and counted, and while there may be a few challenges in local races, the bigger picture has been painted. We … Read more

Victory Party Report from Chez LTW (Lily Tang Williams)

by Julie Smith

Let’s first get a housekeeping item out of the way.  Any opinion said, is mine and just that, because I am not a spokesperson for Lily Tang Williams, just an ordinary volunteer. I don’t remember who said it, but last winter, someone called the anti Trumpers a bunch of people having the adult version of … Read more

Today Is Primary Day In New Hampshire

by Steve MacDonald

It is primary day in New Hampshire, and voters go to the polls to select candidates for the general election. Turnout is typically thin, sparse, scant, deficient, and lean—it’s pathetic. In my town of roughly 18,000 registered voters, we’ll be lucky to see 4,000 turnouts, so the result could be a slate of candidates with … Read more

Lily Tang Williams: Why I need your Vote Tuesday

by Lily Tang Williams

I am Lily Tang Williams, Republican for Congress in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District. I was born in China to poor working-class parents and survived Mao’s Cultural Revolution and Communist dictatorship. I wanted freedom. America was my promised land. I was 23 when I came to the U.S., arriving with $100 in my pocket, knowing very … Read more

No Way Betty Gay Is Back

by Steve MacDonald

Voters in Salem have another opportunity this Tuesday to keep Betty Gay out of the New Hampshire House. Some locals consider this so important that they’ve rebooted their No Way Betty Gay website. It appeared in 2022 and successfully kept Betty out of the NH House. It has resurfaced in 2024 with the same goal. … Read more

To Rockingham County’s Republican Town Committee Chairs, 

by The Editors

With just two days until our Republican Primary, there’s much to be optimistic and excited about. That said, I’m writing to you now to implore you to ensure, that in the these waning primary days, that you and your committees abide by the hard rule that we are NEUTRAL through the primary.

NH State Rep Travis O'Hara GraniteGrok

Writing in Travis O’Hara is a Huge mistake.

by John Sellers

Travis O’Hara was on the Transportation Committee and quit or was asked to resign. O’Hara missed 308 votes of the 480 that were recorded because he was absent from sessions. He also voted 31 times against leadership, meaning he voted against the Republican party values. THAT IS NOT REPRESENTATION!!! We want to thank Rep.John Sellers for … Read more

The Most Dishonest Campaign Mailer Ever

by Spec Bowers

I just received the most dishonest campaign mailer ever. The PAC that did the mailer referenced three totally bogus bills to attack the opposition candidate. If they were honest, they surely could have found three real bills to attack that guy. The mailer blames their target for a bill from 2000 – when he wasn’t … Read more

Mike Bordes Pimps Travis O’Hara’s “Attendance” as Reason to Vote for Him?

by Steve MacDonald

Neither Mike Bordes nor Travis O’Hara should be allowed to go back to Concord, and while they’d be better than most Democrats, you’d actually have to show up for that to work, which makes this rather amusing. Bordes wrote an Op-Ed for the Laconia Daily Sun, pimping O’Hara as prepared and present for County Delegation … Read more

The Credibility of Citizens Alliance

by Julie Smith

Another special interest group, Citizens Alliance, has released a legislative scorecard today.  Like others that the Grokster known as “Spike” has said I’ve “gone scorched earth on,” this group is no different.  There are 68 reps in their “good standing” category.  Of those 68, 18 are enemies of 91A.  Without further delay, here they are: … Read more

Is the RCRC Senator Gannon’s Water Carrier?

by Julie Smith

Though I’m neither a resident nor a paid member, I wound up on the Rockingham County Republican Committee (RCRC) email list some time ago after buying a raffle ticket. It’s important to mention that this Candidate’s forum was scheduled weeks ago, with more than one announcement or notice. At 12:25 pm on Wednesday, the RCRC … Read more

The Good Guys

by Op-Ed

By Spec Bowers – Previous issues of the RINO Report highlighted the terrible voting records of five RINOs in the upcoming primaries. This issue highlights some of the Good Guys who deserve to be reelected. These candidates are selected based on their RINO scores and their HRA scores. Belknap 5 (Laconia 1, 3, 4, 5, … Read more

by Julie Smith

Yeah, what the title says.  I’ll get into that in a moment, but let’s first take a look at District 23’s primary in which NH Journal has an article about things said by candidate Emily Phillips. If you’re late for dinner, you can learn more about Emily in the Grok archives search by using keywords … Read more

Op-Ed: Morse for Governor and Crane for CD2

by Op-Ed

By Rep.John Sellers – Everyone who reads the Grok knows the primary is around the corner. We have a few races in which I believe if the right person gets that position, then the citizens of NH will be winners. This is why I am supporting Chuck Morse (governor) and Casey Crane (CD2). On the … Read more

Enemy of 91A and Enemy of Trump

by 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.  Loudon is a red town that has two ordinary reps, Jose Cambrils being the other one, plus a 3rd, Alvin See, who is shared with several … Read more

Super Tuesday: Trump Wins Everything … Except Vermont [Haley Drops Out]

by Steve MacDonald

After Super Tuesday, we can see why Vermont may never be a Red State again. Half of Vermont Republicans think Nikki Haley is what America needs, and 1.4% chose Chris Christie. The other Northeast Super Tuesday states went for Trump, as did every other state that voted yesterday.
