Wanted: Leadership

By Jeanne Cusson - Concord | Oct 29, 2022

I need help.

Would someone please tell me what New Hampshire has done to combat climate change under six years of Governor Chris Sununu? What have we done to reduce our dependence on fossil fuel? Energy rates are skyrocketing because fossil fuel prices are skyrocketing!

The current Republican dominated House of Representatives tables all energy/climate related bills that come up for discussion. They don’t even want to talk about it! Three years ago, when the House was dominated by Democrats, all the bills to address these issues were vetoed by Governor Chris Sununu.

In his political ads, Governor Sununu says, “Washington always finds a way to mess things up.” Since Washington is currently finding ways on multiple fronts to address climate change, I would rephrase the Governor’s quote: Governor Sununu always finds ways to mess up what Washington is now trying to clean up.

What on earth do we have if we do not take care of our planet? It is sick because we have poisoned it for the past century. The earth needs healing. It needs a doctor. It needs Tom Sherman in the Governor’s office. NH lags behind all the New England States in the effort to combat climate change. Our state is not immune from disasters. What happened in Puerto Rico and Florida can and will happen here. The oceans are warming; the storms will come farther up the coast. Please vote for someone who will lead the effort to save the planet. Vote for Tom Sherman.
