To The Daily Sun,
The Citizens for Belknap PAC has now shown exactly where they stand. It is not for reasonable, non-extremist candidates. In the primary for state representatives they encouraged left-leaning independents to pick up Republican ballots and vote for the least conservative candidates such as Cindy Creteau-Miller.
Now they are overwhelmingly supporting Democrats in the general election. They attempt to appear bipartisan by putting blue checkmarks next to some Republicans, but then put a blue checkmark next to almost every Democrat. There is not a single race where they put blue checkmarks next to more Republicans than Democrats. Most telling as to their partisanship is where they put their red X's. Only one Democrat received a red X compared with nine Republicans. In the last election, Belknap County elected 18 mostly conservative Republicans and zero Democrats. That is the way this county leans. Who does Citizens for Belknap represent with their overwhelming support for Democrats? The Democrat Party, of course.
As a conservative Republican who has represented Meredith for the past four years, I have a very different view of extreme than Citizens for Belknap. I consider extreme the views of many of those who received blue checkmarks. If you agree with me that abortion up to the day of birth is extreme and further restricting our right to bear arms is extreme, we have a choice now. Jeanne Tofts has decided to take on the challenge of a write-in campaign for state representative. I urge my fellow Meredith voters to write in Jeanne Tofts as one of your two choices for Meredith state representative. Be sure to also fill in the oval next to where you write in her name. You must do both for the vote to count.
Rep. Jonathan Mackie

To the Reasonable and Rational Candidates Endorsed by Citizens of Belknap:
Citizens of Belknap County consider you reasonable and rational. I think your answers to the following questions will be helpful in determining how rational and reasonable you are.
1, The Biden Administration has declared the United States systemically racist. Do you agree?
2, The Biden Administration not only refuses to enforce immigration laws, but it has sent thousands of illegal aliens all over the county. Many of these illegals are habitual criminals, and gang members who are smuggling fentanyl into the country. Do you support the Administration, or do you think immigration laws should be enforced?
3, Many Democrats controlled cities have illegally been declared “sanctuary cities” meaning that they welcome illegal aliens to live in their cities without. Do you support sanctuary cities?
4, The Biden Administration supports biological boys using girls dressing rooms. What is your position?
5, The Democrat Party supports full term abortions and even some like former Governor of Virginia Ralph Northam supports aborting a baby after he or she had been born. What restrictions if any would you put on abortion?
6, What is your position on Critical Race Theory being taught in schools across the United States?
7, Biden and his handlers have declared war against fossil fuels. Do you want to see fossil fuels banned in New Hampshire?
8, Democrats are known to raise taxes in towns, cities, and states that they control. Do you support a state sales tax and a state income tax?
9, How many genders are there?
10, While all rational and reasonable people condemn the violence at the Capitol on January 6th. But when it comes to the riots of 2020, Democrat leaders applauded the violence and some including Kamala Harris raised money to bail out the rioters. One such released rioter went on to commit murder. Do you condemn the riots of 2020.
11, Democrats abolished county government in Connecticut as well as some counties in Massachusetts. Do you want to abolish county governments?
12. Democrats around the country have defunded the police leading to skyrocketing crime. Do you support defunding the police?
