To The Daily Sun,
Several years ago I had the audacity to think that just because I was an avid Gunstock skier, had kids in the ski programs and had been on ski patrol at another mountain that I could be a Gunstock Area Commissioner. I was offered the opportunity to interview, was thanked for my interest, but sent on my way. Thank goodness there were other much more qualified candidates. I reflected on this personal experience thinking about the current situation the Belknap County Delegation finds itself. There are three candidates, two may be avid skiers and love Gunstock (Doug Lambert and David Strang) like me, but they offer little more, again like me. In fact, their interest in the position possibly due to their political affiliations is at least suspect. In contrast, Heidi Preuss offers the experience, skills and background of an excellent commissioner for the Gunstock Area. This should be a no brainer.

Agreed! In fact, when researching the Delegations apparent shoe-in for GAC, Dr. David Strang, we stumbled upon a signature from the ridiculous December 21st "Declaration of Independence" publicity stunt held at the state house by the Freestate Movement that, although I admit I'm not an expert, is remarkably identical to that of Dr. Strang. Upon further investigation we also found a photograph taken at the event of a man speaking with Representative Sylvia of Belmont whose silhouette bares an uncanny resemblance to the good Doctor.
It is my understanding he is running for Selectman in Gilmanton. Those who signed a Declaration of Independence from our state should not be allowed to hold an office anywhere within.
Well said. Unfortunately, I think an extremist political agenda on the delegation trumps the interests of Gunstock, Belknap or even New Hampshire. I invite residents and readers to research and inform themselves about the delegation members.
Welcome to the discussion.
