Ed Friedrich and Ruth Heath are seeking your vote to become state representatives for Loudon and Canterbury. Ruth is a former teacher who will work to protect our natural environment, provide economic opportunities for those who are struggling to make ends meet, and lower property taxes. She is motivated to become a state representative so she can work for a better New Hampshire for her grandchild and all children.

Ed is a former U.S. marine and longtime community volunteer who hopes to bring common sense and a bipartisan approach to the State House. He too will work to lower property taxes while achieving a fairer system to fund public schools. He also wants to make sure that a woman’s right to direct her own reproductive healthcare is never threatened in New Hampshire. For Ruth and Ed, governance begins not with words like “us versus them,” but with “we.” Please vote for change on Nov. 5 by supporting these two outstanding citizens and neighbors.
