Shane Hogan: Supporting Bordes, Minor and Pfaff in Laconia on Nov 3

To The Daily Sun,

When readers head to the polls in the coming state representative election, it's important to look at the candidates on the ballot. To see the official list of candidates, party designations, and voting instructions for this multi-seat district, contact the local elections department or New Hampshire's official voter website.

I have never had a party loyalist mentality. I don't vote for a straight ticket; I vote for whomever I deem the best candidate. I have decided to vote for Mike Bordes, Timothy Minor and Cody Pfaff after reviewing all of the candidates. Bordes is a proven leader who knows how to manage the town as well as being able to keep the legislature functioning.

But I am expressly not giving Paul Rossi my vote. His relationship with the Free State Project is an automatic disqualifier in my book, and not something I can support as a voter who believes in good governance.

I challenge all my fellow residents to look at the facts, see past the party lines, and vote only for the people who have earned respect.
