ALTON — The Tri-Town Democrats of Barnstead, Gilmanton and Alton will host two candidates for executive council on Monday, June 3 at 6 p.m. at the Pearson Road Community/Senior Center. Candidates in attendance will be Emmett Soldati for District 1 and Michael Strand for District 4.

The executive council works with the NH governor on state appointments and contracts as well as advising the governor on a variety of matters.

Soldati is a local businessman running for District 1, which includes all of Belknap County except Barnstead and most of the rest of New Hampshire heading north. He is known to NH residents for his willingness to advocate for ordinary people, including when the powers that be show indifference.

Strand is running for EC District 4, which includes Barnstead and much of Strafford and Rockingham counties. He is the owner of a staffing startup company in Bedford, and has been active in local government there fighting for clean water and local citizens’ rights.
