  • Fall Elections Are Less Than 3 Months Away One of the Many Impacts Of
    Fall Elections are Less Than 3 Months Away One of the many impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic is that some events that are non-pandemic-related get lost in the all-COVID, all-the-time news coverage. In the midst of the recent NH House and Senate meetings in-person at different locations than their usual State House chambers, the filing period for all State elective offices quietly opened and closed. Other than one US Senator whose term does not end this year - Sen. Maggie Hassan (D) - every NH state, county and local elective office is up for grabs and there are some surprises in the NH House, Senate and Executive Council line-ups for the September primary and the November general elections. In the House, 38 Democrats and 37 Republicans did not file for re-election, which will leave some big holes, especially in committee leadership positions. The chair of the Commerce & Consumer Affairs Committee, Ed Butler, is stepping down and the Science and Technology Committee is losing both its chair and vice-chair, Bob Backus and Howard Moffett. The Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs Committee will lose its vice-chair, Polly Campion. And the Children and Family Law and Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committees will both lose their vice-chairs, Skip Berrien and Beth Rodd. In addition, two Division chairs of the House Finance Committee will not be back next session because they are seeking higher office: Patricia Lovejoy (D) is running for the Executive Council seat left open by the retirement of Russell Prescott; and Susan Ford (D) is running for State Senate District One, the seat now held by David Starr (R).

AFP-NH hopes that this Scorecard will aid you in your efforts to remain well informed regarding some of the key legislative activity that took place in Concord over this past year and its impact in lowering or increasing barriers to success and enhancing a free and open society. This year certainly saw a change in how the Legislature did business, in response to the pandemic. This led to fewer roll calls than in years past, especially in the State Senate. AFP-NH does not score every vote in the House or Senate. Rather, the focus of this Scorecard is to consider the most important votes cast in priority issue ares that impact our society, such as taxes and spending, health care, educational opportunity, worker freedom, regulation, free speech, property rights, ending cronyism, and having a criminal justice system that focuses on rehabilitation. This year, the Legislature had the opportunity to vote on important issues in these areas, which are laid out in the vote descriptions. Within this Scorecard you will find these votes that are essential to removing barriers to opportunity.

    For Immediate Release October 15, 2013 CONTACT: Mario Piscatella (603) 271­3664 [email protected] Statement of Speaker Terie Norelli on Medicaid Expansion Commission Report CONCORD­ Earlier today the Commission to Study Medicaid Expansion voted to approve their final report. Speaker Terie Norelli issued the following statement: “The Commission did a tremendous amount of work, analyzing a variety of options and considering potential outcomes. They worked hard to find the best possible solution for New Hampshire and we owe them our gratitude for their thorough efforts.” “I would like to thank Representative Cindy Rosenwald and Dr. Travis Harker for the time, effort, and wisdom they gave to the commission and Representative Tom Sherman, M.D. for stepping forward with a compromise proposal that received strong support in the committee.” “Through the private insurer based managed care system and an expansion of the Health Insurance Premium Payment (HIPP) Program, the Commission’s recommended New Hampshire Access to Health Program would maximize private coverage and minimize cost to the state. I look forward to continuing to work together with Senate Leadership and Governor Hassan to reach an agreement to expand access to healthcare for working families across the state.” Earlier today Governor Maggie Hassan announced that she will ask the Executive Council on Wednesday to support calling a special session for November 7 through November 21, dates discussed with and agreed to by the Governor, Senate President Chuck Morse and Speaker Terie Norelli. # # #.
