To the editor:

My name is Barry Laughton Jr. and I would like to announce early that I will be running for City Council in Ward 1 in Laconia. This may come as a surprise to many due to my dreadful loss to become a member of the School Board however I am not going to let that campaign stop me. I am starting fresh with a bold new campaign the likes of which you have not seen from me before. I am starting with a new look, a new attitude, and the same passion for people that I have always had. Let me tell you the reasons that I have decided to run this time. I remember when I first ran for council against Henry Lipman I looked across the debate table and I heard Mr. Fitzgerald make promise after promise and never have I seen or heard one of those promises come to pass. They were only empty and/or broken promises and I know that when I make a promise I hold myself to the highest standard to make good on that promise. Though I am announcing my candidacy early I feel it is best due to the time constraint in the height of the political season in Laconia. Stay tuned for more letters to the editor for updates in my campaign because I will be announcing my blog then as well as video postings on YouTube. Feel free to contact me anytime either through e-mail, barrylgth@metrocast.net, or phone, 524-2542.
