| Collapse all
I am an Engineer by degree, Business Executive by trade, decorated US Army Colonel (ret.) with strong, proven leadership credentials. If you believe in limited government, strong education, strong economy, personal freedoms and national security, please read on. Every element above effects our families, our community, health, jobs and standard of living. I am running for NH State Representative (Hillsborough District 2) in 2024 because:
- NH needs strong leadership in the State House to help preserve the NH Advantage and our quality of life. Bedford needs to send strong leaders who are committed to Bedford, who understand the issues that affect Bedford, NH and our great Country. As a 27-year resident of Bedford; strong family man; volunteer Coach, Board Member, military veteran with over 30-years of service in highly responsible positions, Business Executive, I am the leader that you need in the State House.
- NH has the 12th highest percentage of Veterans of any state in the Union.1 As a decorated Colonel with over thirty years of service including two wars, I understand the issues facing Veterans and am willing to fight to end veteran: homelessness; suicide; PTSD and other mental health issues. We are all indebted to our veterans and should do more.
- Can you imagine living in Massachusetts, California, Maryland, and Connecticut and watching them fall from grace? Each of these states have enacted oppressive income, business and death taxes resulting in causing their population and businesses to flee to lower tax states. Their state governments are bloated, their education systems are failing, and their quality of life has continued to decline. I have lived in each of these states before I got wise and moved to NH many years ago. I love NH. I want to keep improving the NH way of life.
National Security, Growing the Economy, Personal Freedom, Preserving and Growing the New Hampshire Advantage and way of life.
I have had too many true leaders in my military and business career to list here. If I were to pick a hero it would be George Herbert Walker Bush. Why? He was a decorated war hero. He was a US Navy pilot who was shot down. He achieved the Distinguished Flying Cross (one level below the Medal of Honor) and US Navy Air Medal x2. He had 58 combat missions! Upon return from war he attended Yale and was Captain of the Yale varsity baseball team. He entered into private business grew several successful businesses in a very tough oil business. He successfully was elected to Congress; served as a Diplomat (ambassador to China); was elected Vice President under Reagan, successfully ran for and was elected 41st President of the US. If he had not said: "No new taxes; watch my lips", then failed to follow through, I believe he would have one a second term. After his Presidency he continued to live a life of service.
"Dutch" by Edmund Morris A Memoir of Ronald Reagan
Ethical, Integrity, action oriented, driven, passionate, family oriented, service oriented for public gain not personal gain, principal centered, honesty.
Common sense leadership; integrity; honesty; man of action - I get things done; driven; high energy; problem solver; deep experience in the military; business at the start-up, small, medium, and large business levels; family man, volunteer for multiple charities; relationship builder.
to leave the State in a better palce than the one you inherited in every regard: Security, Economy, Education, Personal Freedoms, Safety and Veteran support.
Leaving the State in a better place than I will inherit it. Leaving the State and our Country in a better place for all our children than we inherited from our parents.
President Kennedy getting assassinated. I was in the third grade and 8 years old.
US Army Officer, commissioned on the very same day I graduated from college (WPI) in 1979. I had that job for 30 years (7 years on Active duty and 23 years in the US Army reserves) retiring as a Colonel.
Any of the Tom Clancy novels. Because the plots always included, the military, national security, intrigue and heroics.
Superman - he got superhuman things done for the good of mankind.
Lenard Greenwood - God Bless the USA
I struggled with an ugly divorce at a critical time in my children's lives (transitions from High School to college and middle school to High School). It was at also difficult time in my military and civilian career. In short, I was awarded custody of my children (that is rare in NH) and I raised them to productive citizenry. I went from being laid off during this time period to becoming a Vice President of a prominent NH company less than a year later. I also made full Colonel in the US Army after getting passed over for promotion twice. I went through my valley to the top of a mountain in one year.
Like minded policies. Independently operating to foster creative solutions to public problems.
Security (Northern Border, Legal Immigration, no Sanctuary Cities); Economy (continuation of the massive Federal government spending will cause a recession and continued inflation); Education (continued achievement to standards at approximately 50% is wholly unacceptable and will cause our state and country to fall further behind other countries); affordable housing (our young adults cannot afford to live in NH.
No, the current disfunction in Washington is a perfect example of why career politicians are in it for only one thing power. I think that some of this disfunction exists at the State level as well. We need more people like me who know how to balance a budget, make payroll and lead people to achieve seemingly impossible goals.
No man (or woman) is an island. My military and business experience has proven over and over again that you need others to accomplish the mission. You do that by building relationships, networks and trusting in your fellow legislators to want to do the right thing.
Judd Gregg
No, not at the present time. My focus is on winning one of the Hillsborough -2 seats.
Many of the Seniors in my District have expressed how property taxes may or are driving them out of their homes. No one who has worked hard all their lives, gotten to retirement and a fixed income only to be insecure about their future because of inflation and the significant impact on property taxes.
None. I don't tell or remember jokes very well. "Life is all about the stories" as a dear friend once told me. i have worked to live a great story.
Under most circumstances, yes. Under extreme circumstances, like nuclear war, there isn't going to be time for a 400 person legislature to convene do oversight.
Limit the number of Bills a legislator can enter. Last year over 1100 bills were introduced. Most never see the light of day. Many die in the Senate. Multiple that survive the House and the Senate get vetoed by the Governor. Perhaps, if one were force to focus or prioritize on the most pressing problems, legislators might get what the people really need done and force more agreement in both Houses.
Over 50 US Army, Navy and Air Force comrades and business leaders who have privately endorsed me with substantive donations. Those donors will become public when the Secretary of State list is published.
Ways & Means; State-Federal Relations; Veterans Affairs
Pure financial transparency in every regard and unequivocal accountability by all government officials and personnel.
Elimination of local control.
