LaCasse: Support for Governor Sununu is more than one vote!

Support Governor Sununu in the Executive Council and State Legislature by electing Janet Stevens, Julie Tucker, and Joanne Meyer.

Governor Sununu laid bare in his debate lashing of Dan Feltes the difference between competent New Hampshire focused, roll-up-the-sleeves management of our state and economy vs. the platitudes of a national party doctrine. Governor Sununu has steered a vast network of New Hampshire institutions, business, and citizenry to the one of best COVID outcomes in the United States; New Hampshire has among the lowest COVID-19 related hospitalization and death rates as well as lowest unemployment rates. But Governor Sununu cannot do it alone; He needs your support to elect Janet Stevens to the Executive Council, and Julie Tucker and Joanne Meyer to the state legislature.

Consider the case of the Executive Council where electing Janet Stevens will reverse the racist dynamic of the Democrat majority which denied highly capable Sununu nominees Ryan Terrell and Eddie Edwards. Moreover, consider the alternative of electing Mindi Messner who infamously tweeted that New Hampshire residents should shop in Massachusetts because they had a one-size-fits-all statewide mask mandate. That reflexive, national party-line politic is wrong for New Hampshire. In fact, it is much safer to shop in New Hampshire because our people do the right thing when asked, rather than mandated. Whereas Messner would love to raise our taxes, the single largest contributor of those taxes is New Hampshire business. How does shopping in Massachusetts help our people? Janet Stevens already works with Governor Sununu on the Board of Mental Health Practices and the Seacoast Cancer Cluster Investigation Commission as well as support minority businesses in our community. Please vote Janet Stevens to the Executive Council to retain the New Hampshire advantage.
