We just finished our study committee to address school violence toward teachers and staff. This bi-partisan committee put together recommendations that were applauded by stakeholders. I want to thank the members of the committee for their work and those that came forward to share their experiences and expertise. The safety of teachers, staff and students is always my priority.

Property taxes at too high because cities and towns refuse to control spending. NH Republicans have sent more money back to cities and towns than ever. We cannot control how it is spent on the local level. We can promise to continue to be good stewards on the state level.

Two of Mr. Bell’s sons played ball for Bishop Brady. But like most Democrats, he does not want the same for your children. He also doesn’t want fairness for employees. He’s making deals with unions on the backs of taxpayers. And after the deals are made he will be living in Canada and not living with the consequences of his votes. New Hampshire families cannot afford Leonard Bell.

Christine Brennan lays it all out here.

Truth!

So they say the “Data Center lobbyist” is NH Home Builders. lol They are so desperate that they are having their former comms director (now “editor” of Granite Post) create articles that they then use as “proof.” This is so pathetic. For the record no one discussed data centers with me at all—on either side of the argument. But if we want to play the “special interest” money game—-let’s go look at all those union checks, planned parenthood, green energy, etc….that the Dems love to take money from.

Someone actually thought it was a good idea for Mr. Bell to do this video and post it. The more I look into Mr. Bell the more confused I am by his intentions. In the video he admitted that he “visits his wife.” I don’t begrudge the Bell’s having a property and a business in another country. If he and his wife are building a life there that becomes their forever home (his wife’s words) I hope they’re very happy there.  I mean that sincerely. However, one of the Dem candidates just had to withdraw over residency. So it made me wonder if Mr. Bell has actually lived in New Hampshire consistently enough over the last seven years to be able to run for New Hampshire state Senate. During the pandemic I was running book fairs to make sure that every child had access to free books because libraries and schools were largely closed. I volunteered at Food banks and I did virtual storytime every Saturday for children. I did what I could for my community during that difficult time. During that same time Mr. and Mrs. Bell left for Canada for a period of time. This puts into question if he’s able to fulfill his residency requirements or for that matter, if there was any year in the last seven years where he did not live in the state or this country for at least the required six months. I don’t understand why a person who is building a life in another country would put his name on a ballot in NH.  If Mr. Bell was elected, your taxes would certainly increase because the New Hampshire Dems policies are clearly stating that they are going to increase significant funding on the state level, which means that money is going to be added to your property taxes.  Unless of course they succeed in putting in an income and sales tax, which also comes from your wallet. Regardless Mr. Bell will not be here to face the repercussions of those decisions as he will have certainly moved on to his life in Canada. 

My opponent is not showing up for NH. He won’t answer questions and did not even bother to do his speech for Manchester tv that allows voters to hear from their candidates. Kelly Ayotte showed up. John Sununu showed up Even Warmington and Pappas showed up. Perhaps Mr. Bell was out of the country at the time. There was a 2 day period to make an appearance. #nhpoltics

Why he is running makes no sense. He and his wife are building a life in Canada where they currently own a home, a business and, according to people close to the couple, spend most of their time.
