My name is Sylvester Karasinski, and I am a candidate for state Senate in District 10.

Most people call me Sly, and it would be my honor to serve you. I am a lifelong Republican, conservative, NRA member and love New Hampshire. I have been a small-business owner, fire chief/EMT-I and now the superintendent of the North Swanzey Water Precinct.

Anne and I moved to Cheshire County and started our family in 1989. We chose the Monadnock region to raise our children and volunteer to serve the community. I have been active in the fire department, civic groups and now town government as a third-term selectman in Swanzey.

Swanzey has successfully built and maintained infrastructure, while keeping our taxes low by obtaining grants and low-interest bonds. We have partnered with local businesses, even converting a town facility to a much-needed daycare center. Swanzey is thriving; all of the Monadnock region can, too.

We need to continue to grow the economy, balance the budget and return the surplus back to the towns after funding the rainy day fund. More rain is coming. New Hampshire is suffering from the poor decisions made in Washington, D.C. Recession, inflationary spending, energy costs and the border crisis are issues that are not our fault, but we will have to deal with it.

I oppose any income tax, sales tax, or interest and dividends tax. Onerous regulations will be repealed. I will propose sunset provisions to spending bills. I will fight for parental rights and school choice. I support Education Freedom Accounts, and oppose the teaching of Critical Race Theory. I support the police, accountability and the law. The right to self-defense and our Second Amendment rights shall not be infringed. Let’s Keep New Hampshire, New Hampshire!
