| CYMI: State Senator Regina Birdsell: M.I.A. Maggie
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 10/14/2016 CONCORD – In today’s Union Leader, State Senator Regina Birdsell penned an op-ed criticizing Governor Maggie Hassan for her lack of focus on key projects that will help New Hampshire. Read the entire op-ed here or check out the excerpts below: “Gov. Maggie Hassan has used her office to satisfy her own political ambitions, including taking credit for the Legislature’s balanced budget and the $100 million surplus as a result of a stronger economy. This is ludicrous. This is the same budget she vetoed last summer because of business tax cuts. Her veto and lack of focus on the needs of the Granite State is negatively impacting our communities every day… “The Legislature provided the funding to finalize the long-awaited I-93 expansion project and use four lanes in each direction to and from the Massachusetts border… “Her lack of focus on our state’s needs and finishing this major project needlessly slows the work on the I-93 expansion project and thus, the economic development that is expected to follow in southern New Hampshire. “In addition, we’ve waited to see results from substance abuse-related funding and resources made available in the budget and through legislation, yet, we know Gov. Hassan has yet to distribute these resources to our communities… “The developmental disabilities waitlist was fully funded in the legislative budget, yet has not been eliminated according to plan… “The New Hampshire Legislature worked hard to ensure resources, funding and good policy were in place to move our state forward. However, we lack a true leader in the corner office who can put these measures to work in our communities. What we have is a governor, running her campaign for Senate, who is taking credit for the honest work done by the Legislature this session.” ### |

NHGOP Statement on the First-In-The-Nation Primary
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 7/14/2016
PRESS CONTACT: Ross Berry, Press@nhgop.org
CONCORD – New Hampshire Republican State Committee (NHGOP) Chairman Jennifer Horn issued the following statement on the status of New Hampshire’s First-In-The-Nation Primary:“I am pleased to announce that New Hampshire’s First-In-The-Nation (FITN) Primary has been secured by the RNC Convention Rules Committee. During today’s meeting, no proposed rules changes were offered to eliminate the four carve-out states, including New Hampshire. We were also successful in soundly defeating the imposition of a rule that would make New Hampshire follow proportional standards. I particularly want to thank our National Committeeman, Steve Duprey, for his hard work and his steadfast commitment to our primary. Retaining our primary is a privilege that Granite State voters have earned and I am grateful that the RNC continues to trust us with this honor.”

Memorial Day
This weekend we celebrate Memorial Day, our most solemn holiday. Sadly, many people don’t know the significance of Memorial Day, or worse, do and don’t think about it. This weekend I am free to barbecue. I am free to travel, even outside the state and country. I am free to have a yard sale. I am free to enjoy myself on property that I own. I am free to criticize the government. I, a regular citizen with no privileged upbringing or family birthright, am free to be a part of the government. I have all these freedoms because of the courage and sacrifice of American service people for over 2 and a quarter centuries. I went to Arlington National Cemetery last year. The shear scope of how many brave Americans are buried there is overwhelming. As we enjoy our freedom this holiday weekend, we should remember the cost. We have our freedom because of those who have served. We continue to be free because of those who are serving. We will be free in the years to come, because this very minute, there are brave young people volunteering to put on a uniform and defend our way of life. If you run into a veteran this weekend, say “Thank You”. It isn’t much, but there really are no adequate words for the gift that they give us… the gift of freedom.
