Local election time is coming again in New Hampshire. Some towns vote on the second Tuesday of March at what is known as “town meetings.” Other larger cities use the ballot box. This is when towns elect their local officials to different boards, such as planning, zoning and/or school boards, to name a few. This is also where the annual town budgets are debated and voted on.
In Keene, we will head to the polls on Tuesday, March 14. One of the items on the ballot is the election of school board members. There are four seats available on the school board with incumbents Jaclyn Headings and Raleigh Omerod running for re-election. The other two seats have Carter Chamberlin and Jennifer Friedman seeking to fill them.
As a matter of interest, I wanted to include the following article from “Granite State Matters.” This seems to be an issue of great concern throughout New Hampshire.
EXTREMIST ALERT! Be on the lookout for Free Staters and Liberty Alliance affiliates running for local office in your town elections. Granite State Matters is helping to identify such candidates. They often try to mask their affiliations. If you know of any such candidates, please notify admin@granitestatematters.org. To learn more about Free Staters, please read this Boston Globe article "Free Staters Seek to Undo NH Government from Within."
