Letter: Principle over party

Published: 03-12-2025 4:09 PM

How can the only member of the Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs Committee with the knowledge and background to make sound decisions on the bills before it be summarily removed for “not supporting the party?” Is this what we elect representatives to do: support a political party even if it’s deleterious to the public it’s supposed to serve? Speaker Sherman’s action shows a level of ignorance and disregard for the public good that goes beyond rational understanding. Why are Speaker Sherman and members of the Republican delegation blatantly crushing informed, educated and honest discourse on pieces of legislation for partisan ideology to the detriment of the health and well-being of every New Hampshire resident? Every constituent should ask their representative this question.
