Deirdre McEachern: Looking forward to representing Tuftonboro & Wolfeboro

To The Daily Sun,

I am deeply honored by the trust voters placed in me on Tuesday, Nov. 3 when they elected me as state representative for Wolfeboro and Tuftonboro. I want to thank residents for coming out to the polls and making their voices heard.

We mounted a grassroots campaign built on direct conversations with voters. I knocked on nearly 1,000 doors, held monthly coffee and office gatherings, and attended community events, meeting residents across the political spectrum. One conversation at a time, I heard from people who care deeply about our schools, our lakes, the cost of living, and the future of our communities.

While we may have different political beliefs, we share many of the same hopes and concerns. Respectful dialogue, listening, and practical problem-solving were at the heart of this campaign. I believe we can disagree respectfully, still find common ground, and make meaningful progress on the issues that matter to our towns.

Whether folks voted for me or not, I will work hard to be the best representative I can for everyone. I take that responsibility seriously, and I intend to be accessible, thoughtful, and accountable to everyone I serve.

My heartfelt thanks go to the volunteers and supporters who gave their time and energy to carry this campaign across the finish line, and to every resident who welcomed me into their home or took the time to share their perspective. I am grateful for every conversation and every act of support.

And I am already getting to work. I am excited to share that I am co-sponsoring my first bill, a bipartisan effort with Rep. John MacDonald and Sen. Mark McConkey to reduce the effects of harmful road salts on cyanobacteria in our lakes.

Thanks for all the trust. I look forward to serving our communities and working together.
