Sen. Jeb Bradley, District 3, Wolfeboro for Fosters
“Meanwhile for most New Hampshire citizens — Rome is burning. I recently had a very extensive conversation with voters in the Special Election in Senate District 3. Whether in their yards, on their back porches, or seated at their kitchen tables, I listened to their concerns. Voters told me repeatedly they lay awake at night worried about finding a job, keeping a job, providing for their families, and paying their mortgages. They are further terrified about budget deficits: deficits of trillions of dollars as far as the eye can see in Washington and hundreds of millions of dollars in Concord. And people are fearful that with these budget deficits only one thing can happen: taxes will soar.”
