  • Governor Sununu, We, the Undersigned
    Governor Sununu, We, the undersigned Democrats in the New Hampshire House, implore you to immediately issue a “stay-at-home” order to slow the spread of COVID-19 in New Hampshire. As our hospitals and the mayors of our largest cities have noted, every day that passes without a stay- at-home directive brings exponential growth to the health risks faced by Granite Staters, and unsustainable pressure on New Hampshire’s healthcare services which will lead to unnecessary loss of life. As you have acknowledged, we likely remain far from the peak of COVID-19 infections in New Hampshire. Many of us own or work at small businesses and understand that ordering non-essential businesses to close is a drastic step that will exacerbate the disruption COVID-19 has already brought to everyday life. However, as we have seen in other countries and other states, taking decisive action will slow the spread of the virus, save lives and allow our economy to rebound stronger and faster. The steps we have taken so far, which include telling people to keep their social gatherings to under 10 people, are simply not enough. Monday’s announcement of the first death from COVID-19 in New Hampshire emphasizes the urgency in our communities to take decisive steps to combat this deadly virus. Closing non- essential businesses and ordering people to stay at home are bold steps critical to that effort. Please join the states across America, including our neighbors Massachusetts and Vermont, that have taken these critical steps to slow the spread of COVID-19.

  • 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).

  • From State Representative Rosemarie Rung
    Town Councilors: I am unable to attend the November 7 meeting, but I want to provide an update, as the bills that I will be sponsoring or co-sponsoring have been signed off and will soon be assigned to a committee to begin the legislative process. I want you to know why I support these bills. Title: requiring food service establishments to establish food allergy awareness procedures. Sponsors: (Prime) Rosemarie Rung, Janice Schmidt, Dan Feltes, Joseph Guthrie, William Marsh, Cam Kenney This bill came at the request of a Merrimack constituent whose family member died from an allergic reaction from food served at a NH restaurant. I worked on this after consultation with the NH Restaurant and Lodging Association and the NH HHS department. It essentially extends new NH food safety food code to restaurants that are not under the state’s authority (i.e., cities that have jurisdiction for restaurant licensing/inspection), will require restaurants to include menu language to instruct patrons to notify the server of any food allergy (required language now warns of raw or undercooked meat), and will allow restaurants to voluntarily be designated “food allergy friendly” if they meet national standards. Title: Establishing a committee to study the labeling of products containing PFAS. Sponsors: (Prime) Rosemarie Rung, Betty Gay, Deborah Hobson Following conversations with Eileen and Sarita about PFAS waste entering the treatment plant from car washes, I talked with Clark Freise about how to control PFAS discharge to municipal systems. He said most users don’t even know PFAS is in the materials they use.

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.

The Northern Pass Project was proposed in late 2010 as a 192-mile-long high voltage transmission line through the heart of Coos and Grafton Counties and was intended to serve as an “extension cord” between Canadian hydroelectric power generators and Massachusetts markets. Originally proposed as an above-ground project with towers looming over the tallest trees, Northern Pass almost immediately met with opposition from North Country citizens, prompting the late County Commissioner and Executive Counselor Ray Burton to suggest in 2012 that they “pack up their tents and go home.” Unfortunately, the fight continued unabated until June 2019, when the State Supreme Court justices ruled unanimously to deny a request by project officials to reconsider a Site Evaluation Committee’s (SEC’s) earlier decision to deny approval for the project.
