Vote for John McCarthy and Jeff Dickler for Cheshire District 18 this November. Both men will serve the district with conviction and dedication.

They have different backgrounds, which will complement service to Jaffrey, Rindge and Dublin. Both know how to solve problems. McCarthy, as a Peace Corps volunteer, designed drinking water systems in the mountain villages of Guatemala. In America, he directed a technical assistance program that helped hundreds of rural communities to implement drinking water and waste-disposal systems throughout the Northeast.

Dickler, in his career as an information technology specialist, developed and installed wide-area networks at 900 locations for his firm.

Locally, McCarthy served the Jaffrey-Rindge School Board and knows the issues facing the community. Dickler has served on the Rindge Energy Commission, Habitat for Humanity and coached teams where he has lived.

Both men are concerned with legislative failure to fund public schools and force the taxpayers to pay the actual costs of running schools. They are both troubled by abortion legislation which puts the state between a woman and her doctor when determining what service is provided for health care. This defies the concept of getting government out of our personal lives.

McCarthy is deeply concerned with the voucher system recently imposed on the state, which is draining taxpayer funds from the public schools while funneling 75 percent of the funds to families already sending their children to private schools. Dickler reflected on how much he was inspired by with the work of Doris “Granny D“ Haddock, who at the age of 88 began to walk across America to draw attention to the need for campaign finance reform. These men are ready to serve and work with those who are committed to fix New Hampshire’s problems.
