I've spent most of the last 30 or so days talking about Adam Schroadter's and Josh Davenport's voting records. This has not been a question of whether or not these guys are nice people--they are. But being nice isn't a good enough reason for me to vote for them. Too much is at stake.
I've written that Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport
- voted to allow guns on college campuses and in the State House
- voted against funding for drug and alcohol treatment
- voted against funding for the Head Start program
- voted to divert taxpayer money to private and religious schools
- voted to repeal public kindergarten
- voted to eliminate compulsory school attendance
- voted to allow parents to object to school curriculum for any reason
- voted for the Voter ID law
- voted to eliminate gun licensing requirements
- voted to legally allow businesses to discriminate against gay couples
- voted to defund Planned Parenthood
- voted for removing preventive health services for women from benefits expected to be covered by insurance companies
- voted to force doctors to give false information to women seeking abortions
- voted to repeal NH's participation in RGGI
- they voted for Right to Work
- they voted to expand the death penalty
And those are just the votes I've written about. There are more. I think these votes are wrong for our town and wrong for New Hampshire.
Check out Granite State Progress to look at detailed voting records for all the candidates.
I'll be voting for Marcia Moody, Michael Cahill, William Connery and Patricia Lovejoy.
But whoever you vote for, just make sure you vote.
