Letter 

I wholeheartedly support Greg Hill’s campaign for the New Hampshire House in Merrimack District 3, comprised of Northfield and Franklin Ward 3.  In fact, if I could ensure only one representative to get re-elected this year, it would be Greg Hill. 

Rep. Hill is smart, hardworking, and principled.  Together, we worked to greatly expand options for the education of NH children, and it is vital to re-elect Greg Hill to continue to expand options in education. 

Providing choices for parents in education is by far the most effective reform, proven by numerous studies.  His work on education tax credits, and expending the highly successful charter school program will have a positive impact for years to come. And there is no way these improvements would have been successful without Rep Hill. 

Rep Hill is also one of the smartest, hardest working, and most principled representatives I know. Please support the re-election of Greg Hill to the NH House!

Letter

Dear citizens:
You may not know me.  I will appear as a candidate for the State Legislature representing the Democratic Party in the 8th District, a floterial made up of Barnstead, Alton and Gilmanton.  I am known in the community as Tess Smith but you will see me on the ballot as Roberta Smith.

I have lived in New Hampshire all my life and in Barnstead for over 20 years. I went to school in New Hampshire and have a degree from the UNH.  I have two children and three grandchildren, who are in college.  My husband had a liver transplant over 7 years ago. We own our home. I am a small business owner who employs 4 ladies in our community. We have two seniors in our family over 85.

So, therefore, I am concerned, as I know you are, as to how the current legislature has impacted our world over the last two years. Here is just one example.

There is a new law that allows New Hampshire businesses to get a $2,500 tax deduction when they provide a scholarship to a New Hampshire student.  Well, let’s look at that.   That $2,500 will not allow a low income student to go to a private school, but might provide reduced tuition for a higher income family. It could divert over $50 million from going into the state’s coffers to support public schools.  That money may be made up from local property taxes.

Please think really hard about the radical agenda that has occurred during the past two years.  Look at the out-of-state money that has impacted our election choices and laws. Agree that we need a change. Vote in that change. Vote Roberta Smith for State Legislature in District 8.

Roberta “Tess” Smith
