To The Daily Sun,
I am running for state representative from Laconia. This decision was not easily made as I am really enjoying retirement.
However, after the mass killing in Uvalde, Texas, I could no longer be only an observer. I believe safe gun ownership is a civic responsibility, not an infringement on rights.
As a member of the Laconia Housing Authority, I am acutely aware of the need for more places to live for the people who live and work here. Affordable housing should be a right, not a privilege.
Like Thomas Jefferson, I believe a robust public education system is essential for the preservation of our democracy. Having served on the Laconia School Board I learned that teaching is not only one of the most important jobs, it is also one of the hardest. The schools need our support, not our political interference.
I would greatly appreciate your support and your vote in November.
Patrick H. Wood
