Vote for Two Democratic Candidates in this District One race.
Candidate-Larry Brown-Strafford County District 1: Milton/Middleton
Susann and I live in an old cape just north of the Farm
Museum about five minutes from the Middleton Town Line. We have lived there since 1995. She was born in Concord. My father’s family farmed N.H. before
it was a state – my great grandfather ran the poor farm down in Milford. My grandfather was a Roosevelt Reform
Republican. Born in the shadow of
the Civil War he was still working at 80 and out on strike for fair wages and
worker’s rights.
I’ve served on over a dozen Town and County elected boards,
committees, volunteer groups and projects and I’ve served three terms as your
State Rep in a bi-partisan legislature committed to civil government and the
services of government that make NH Democracy work.
There is no democracy without a fair tax system. I’m the Budget Chair in Milton. We respect taxes. We set a tight budget. We expect full service from our town
employees and full value for our local tax dollars.
We didn’t get that respect from Concord this session. We didn’t get full service and we
didn’t get full value. What we got
was trickle down taxes. Concord
threw away close to 20 million dollars in cigarette taxes and about another 100
million in highway funding.
How did Concord expect to get that money back? From your local property tax. Check for State aid with your school
district. Ask your road agent
about block grant funds for road repair. It’s time to get the Legislature out of the bedroom
and back to work on the budget. We
need to fund safe highways and bridges for business and tourism and our daily
use. We need to fund public
education, “Kindergarten through UNH”, to build the skilled workforce we need
to bring more employers to our state.
I believe I have a solid bi-partisan reputation for
competence, courtesy, and community service. If you agree, please vote to send me back to Concord as your
State Rep from Strafford’s #1 District Milton/ Middleton.
