Meanwhile, we already know a lot about the two Republican candidates who hail from Strafford. It's time to throw the bums out!
Rep. Kurt Wuelper (Republican) supports using public taxpayer funds to support religious and charter schools and has sponsored legislation on this issue. He is the past president of NH Right to Life and was endorsed by the NH Right to Life PAC in 2020.
Rep. Michael Harrington (Republican) has primarily sponsored anti-income tax and energy related legislation. He has received A and A+ grades from Americans for Prosperity, a libertarian-conservative political advocacy group funded by David Koch and Charles Koch (see their endorsement of him). Harrington represents a special-interest organization, the New England Ratepayer’s Association (NERA), as an advisor. This is an organization that issued a cost-benefit analysis concluding mitigation of PFAWs, toxic and deadly chemicals released by industry.
