Though it was many years ago that I retired as a public school teacher, I remain very concerned with the loss of adequate state funding for public education. I believe that it is essential to increase public-school funding without adding to the local tax burden. Loudon and Canterbury voters are fortunate to have the opportunity to vote for a candidate for the NH House who shares this view: Ed Friedrich.

Ed always has the community at heart. He serves the local Loudon community in many ways, including as president of the Lions Club. After he is elected, he will support all of the communities across the entire state by voting for better funding for public education. Please join me in voting for Ed Friedrich in November.
