MACDONALD: Another New Hampshire First

November 9, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Barry Laughton has been known within New Hampshire’s political circles for more than a decade. Barry, a Democrat who goes by Stacie, was trans before it was a public mental health crisis. Back in 2012, Laughton won a seat in the NH House and was lauded as the first transgender legislator, perhaps anywhere. Laughton was … Read more

July 22, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Maybe you heard? Sound of Freedom is blowing the doors off the box office as Demcorats and progressive water carriers yell “Qanon conspiracy” to anyone who will listen – while the Feds are charging a local NH Democrat and his former girlfriend with child sexploitation.

September 20, 2024June 26, 2023 Claire Best

If you want to sum up New Hampshire’s child abuse and censorship problem in a nutshell, look no further than this from 2012 about the election of Stacie Laughton. You will notice that the link to Stacie’s interview with the Nashua Telegraph has now been removed – at whose orders?

Un-Un Breaking News: Stacie Laughton Resigns Again

September 26, 2018November 30, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Convicted Felon and recently elected New Hampshire House Democrat Stacie Marie Laughton has ended the roller-coaster ride since her extensive criminal history was released by the Laconia Sun and resigned…in writing….to the Secretary of State. (Story went public, she resigned, un-resigned–sort of, then resigned again.) So reports the Union leader. In the same piece (UL Editorial) … Read more

Update to Barry / Stacie Lawton’s NH House Representative career

September 26, 2018November 28, 2012 Skip

Union Leader: “I don’t think it would look good for the state,” she said. “I don’t think it would look good for the party, and I don’t think that the citizens would like to see their beloved representative-elect be expelled.” As Steve pointed out in his post, Stacie Marie / Barry Laughton decided that disclosing … Read more

Breaking News: Laughton Resigns

September 26, 2018November 28, 2012 Steve MacDonald

The union leader is reporting this morning that newly elected Democrat House member Stacie ‘The Beloved‘ Laughton (Hills Dist 31/Nashua) has decided to resign.

Laughton is disappointed, and states that no one asked her to resign, but that she was asked to consider all the things that have been presented.

Call me cynical but if you are elected to a post, and some unpleasantry from your past emerges, and people ask you to ‘consider’ things…they want you to resign. They are just afraid to say it because their identity politics prevents them from going on the record.

Personally, I’m not done with this and it has nothing to do with Laughton.

What Stacie Laughton Wants People to See is That She is Just Like Everyone Else.

September 26, 2018November 27, 2012 Steve MacDonald

On June 8th 2012, the Nashua Telegraph did a community piece on then candidate for the New Hampshire House Stacie Laughton. It opened like this.

NASHUA – What Stacie Laughton wants people to see is that she is just like everyone else.

This theme was repeated throughout the article, but nowhere in the Nashua Telegraph’s reporting, or in any Telegraph content after it that I could find (until a few days ago), is there any mention of her extensive criminal history. Laughton has previously been charged with felony misuse of 911 services, conspiracy to commit credit card fraud, conspiracy identity fraud, theft of services, misdemeanor criminal mischief, and served a suspended sentence for at least one felony conviction.

Would you be surprised to hear that she was elected to the New Hampshire House in Nashua, New Hampshire anyway?

Future New Hampshire House Democrat?

September 26, 2018November 27, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Political parties never stop recruiting “qualified” candidates for future races and I think I’ve identified a potential Democrat contender for 2014. Eighteen year-old Tyler Murray of Manchester New Hampshire was recently charged with Fraudulent use of a credit card: Murray is accused of using a credit card belonging to another to purchase $258.58 worth of … Read more
