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). These are all Democrats, who are in the majority this year. But there are also some long-time Republican members who chose not to file and will be similarly missed: Erin Hennessey, a key member of the House Finance Committee, is giving up her House seat to challenge Sen. Starr. Neither Frank Kotowski, a former H&HS Committee chair who more recently served on the Fish and Game Committee; nor John Fothergill, a primary care doctor and current member of H&HS, chose to file for re-election. Jack Flanagan, who was once a House majority leader, is also sitting out the 2020 race. And Rep. Dennis Fields is ending his 34 years of service in the House. Filing for the House are a number of former members, including Bill O’Brien (R), the former Speaker, who was first opposing US Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D) but is now seeking a House seat from Nashua. Also looking to return are former Republican Reps. Bob Theberge, Steve Stefanik, Peter Hansen, John Martin and Bonnie Ham; and Democrats Hal Lynde, Elaine Andrews-Ahearn and Rich DiPentima. The State Senate is losing two Martha’s, both Democrats: Sen. Martha Fuller Clark of Portsmouth is retiring after 6 terms in the NH House and 7 terms in the Senate. Sen. Martha Hennessy of Hanover is retiring after 2 terms in the Senate and one in the House. Both their seats are in strong Democratic districts where there will be primary and general races. For the open District 21 seat that includes Portsmouth, Rebecca Kwoka and Deglan McEachern are newcomers who will compete in the Democratic primary in September; the winner will face Sue Polidura (R) in November. In District 5, Sen. Hennessey’s seat, Democrats Beatriz Pastor, a former House member, and Suzanne Prentiss will face off in the primary; the winner of that race will compete against Timothy O’Hearne (R) in the general. There are no Senate members getting a free ride this year; all have primary and/or general election races. Of the 22 Senate members who are seeking re-election, John Reagan (R) and Bob Giuda (R) are being primaried, along with Sen. Starr, as noted above. Sen. Reagan will face Janet DelFuoco (R) in the primary, and then Nancy Fraher (D) will again try for the District 17 seat in November. Sen. Giuda, District 2, is being challenged by David Devoy (R) in the primary and the winner of that race will face Bill Bolton (D) in the general. Hoping to win back their seats this year are former Senators Bill Gannon (R) who is running for Sen. Jon Morgan’s (D) seat in District 23; Gary L. Daniels (R) who is running for Sen. Shannon Chandley’s (D) seat in District 11; and Kevin Avard (R) who is running for Sen. Melanie Levesque’s (D) seat in District 12. The Senate is also losing Sen. Dan Feltes (D) who is running for Governor and faces Executive Councilor Andru Volinsky in the primary. There are 3 Democrats running for the Feltes seat: Paul Hodes, a former US Congressman; Candace Bouchard, a long-time House member who chaired the Public Works Committee; and Becky Whitley, a former Disability Rights Center attorney. The winner of that primary will face Linda Rae Banfill (R) of Concord in November. The Executive Council is losing two members: Volinsky (D), who is seeking the corner office; and Prescott (R), who is retiring. The Volinsky seat, District 2, has 2 Republicans and 6 Democrats competing. The Russell Prescott seat has 3 Republicans and 2 Democrats in the race. Two former Councilors, Joe Kenney (R) and Dave Wheeler (R), are hoping to win back their seats from Democrats Michael Cryans and Debora Pignatelli. They both also face primaries. There is plenty of interest and plenty of competition for these and other seats, but how the actual campaigning is carried out during COVID remains to be seen. New Hampshire is not fully re-opened and the Division of Public Health continues to urge caution as states to the south of us see an increasing number of COVID cases. With no fairs, festivals, parades, Old Home Days or other large outdoor events, opportunities for candidates to get out and meet the voters are limited. “Pressing the flesh” as a campaign staple may finally become obsolete – another loss to the COVID pandemic. .

  • CMS-2258-P Paper Comments 101-110 (PDF)
    Association ofcounties March 15,2007 Leslie Norwalk, Acting Administrator Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 200 Independence Avenue, S.W., Room 445-G Washington, DC 20201 Re: CMS-2258-P: Medicaid Program; Cost Limit for Providers Operated by Units of Government and Provisions to Ensure the Integrity of federal-State Financial Partnership, (Vol. 72, NO. ll), January 18,2007 Dear Ms. Norwalk: The New Hampshire Association of Counties would like to be on file as opposing this proposed rule for the following reasons: 1. The rule will impose new restrictions on how states fund their Medicaid program and restricts how states reimburse their governmentally nursing homes. 2. This rule will result in an inefficient cost-based reimbursement system that contains no incentives for efficient performance. Congress moved away from a Medicaid cost- based system 27 years ago. 3. The estimated cut in federal spending over five years amounts to a budget cut for safety-net nursing homes. 4. The rule restricts intergovernmental transfers and certified public expenditures thus restricting New Hampshire's ability to fund the non-federal share of Medicaid payments. 5. There is no authority in the statute for CMS to restrict IGTs to funds generated from tax revenue and inconsistent with historic CMS policy. We believe that CMS has inappropriately interpreted the federal statute. 6. The new restrictions would result in fewer dollars to pay for the needed care for the nation's most vulnerable people, the sick and frail elderly. 7. CMS has not provided sufficient and relative data to support a claim that state financing practices across the nation do not comport with the Medicaid statute.

  • The Granite State Poll
    The Granite State Poll February 28, 2020 SUNUNU REMAINS POPULAR; HOLDS LEADS OVER DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGERS FOR GOVERNOR By: Sean P. McKinley, M.A. [email protected] Zachary S. Azem, M.A. 603-862-2226 Andrew E. Smith, Ph.D. cola.unh.edu/unh-survey-center DURHAM, NH – A majority of New Hampshire residents approve of Chris Sununu's performance as Governor but disapproval is rising. Sununu holds clear leads over prospec ve Democra c challengers State Senate Majority Leader Dan Feltes and Execu ve Councilor Andru Volinsky, who are not at all well known in the state. Nearly three-quarters of residents think the state is headed in the right direc on and a plurality con nue to believe that the drug crisis is the most important problem facing the state. These findings are based on the latest Granite State Poll*, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. Six hundred eleven (611) randomly selected New Hampshire adults were interviewed in English by landline and cellular telephone between February 19 and February 25, 2020. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4.0 percent. Included in the sample were 576 likely general elec on voters (MSE +/- 4.1%).

  • June 28, 2018 Dear Senator, We, the Undersigned, Are Members of Issue
    June 28, 2018 Dear Senator, We, the undersigned, are members of Issue One’s ReFormers Caucus — a coalition of former members of Congress, Cabinet officials and governors representing all fifty states — writing to strongly urge you to co-sponsor the bipartisan, bicameral Honest Ads Act. The bill is a carefully crafted first step to address foreign meddling in U.S. ​ politics. The Honest Ads Act is also the first bill created in response to outside interference in the 2016 elections. There is encouraging widespread agreement: The Intelligence Community Assessment and both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees concur that foreign actors interfered in the 2016 U.S. elections through the use of paid, online advertisements on some of the largest internet platforms — all to divide Americans and weaken the country. These ads — some of which were paid for in rubles — targeted certain American voters in an attempt to sow discord and manipulate our political system. It is imperative that Congress act now in response to this national security crisis created by Russia and other non-state actors in order to protect our free and fair elections from foreign intrusions in the future. For decades, disclosure rules governing political advertising in print, radio and television have improved transparency and accountability by providing American consumers with vital information. While rules involving these types of media have proven successful, hardly any disclosure rules exist for the digital frontier and online advertisements. The Honest Ads Act simply seeks to update our 20th century laws and requires similar disclosure requirements as television and radio advertisements.

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.

  • New Hampshire General Election Voter Guide 2020
    New Hampshire General Election Voter Guide 2020 Statewide polls conducted in 2017 and 2019 have found that 68% of Granite Staters support ending cannabis prohibition. With public support now overwhelmingly in favor of reform, there has never been a more important opportunity to move New Hampshire forward on cannabis policy than this year’s elections for governor, state senator, and state representative. The 2020 general election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 3. Please note that if you have any concerns about voting in light of COVID-19, the state has made it clear that you may choose to register and vote by absentee ballot. Color key: Green = supports legalizing cannabis for adults’ use Orange = unknown, uncertain, or less supportive Red = opposed or much less supportive Voter Guide Highlights: Republican Gov. Chris Sununu signed the decriminalization bill into law in 2017, and he also signed bills adding chronic pain and PTSD as qualifying conditions for medical cannabis. However, he vetoed a medical cannabis home cultivation bill in 2019, and on October 5 he once again dismissed the idea of legalizing cannabis saying, "now is just not the time." (website) The Democratic nominee for governor, state Sen. Dan Feltes, supports legalizing, regulating, and taxing cannabis for adults’ use. According to an article in The Concord Monitor, Feltes says he supports legalization and regulation under certain “eminently achievable conditions” such as “no gummies.” After the September 8 primary, he publicly endorsed the legalization plan that had been put forward by his opponent. (website) The Libertarian candidate for governor, Darryl Perry, is a longtime supporter of cannabis legalization.
