Scanlan has earned re-election

On Dec. 2, during a joint session of the New Hampshire General Court, members of the New Hampshire Senate and House of Representatives will select the next Secretary of State. Over the past three or four years, current secretary, David Scanlan, has done an admirable job of keeping politics out of his office and vigorously promoting New Hampshire’s efforts to maintain its “First in the Nation” status.
State redistricting across the nation has been running rampant out of the Trump White House. Now more than ever, New Hampshire needs a credible, experienced warrior to defend our status. Scanlan has sternly, but quietly, told the Trump gang to “buzz off.”
Legislators can start the new session on a positive note by again selecting David Scanlan as secretary and keeping the politics out of the Secretary of State office.
