To The Daily Sun,

State Rep. Ian Raymond has served just one term in the New Hampshire House of Representatives but has accomplished much for the citizens of Sanbornton and Tilton, Belknap District 4, in this two year period.

He has sponsored or co-sponsored 15 bills, 12 of which have become law. Two of these bills were requested by town government, one by Sanbornton and one by Tilton. His main committee assignment has been the Science, Technology and Energy Committee and many of his bills have dealt with energy and improved energy systems that will result in a cleaner environment and cost savings to us, the consumers, He has worked effectively with Republicans and Democrats.

The biomass energy plant that he championed to heat the Winnisquam High School and Middle School before running for office has saved area taxpayers $750,000 thus far, and it is projected that it will save us $5 million over the next 21 years. His work won him recognition by the Union of Concerned Scientists and America Clean Energy Now. The biomass project was featured on N.H. Public Television's "Planet Granite" program. All that, and Ian has operated a small business in Laconia for over 25 years while he and his wife, Carol, have raised a family in Sanbornton.

Ian Raymond is an extraordinary legislator and truly deserves re-election on Nov. 4. It is your vote that will re-elect Ian next Tuesday so we can keep him working for us in Concord.
