Our Recommendations
In Alton and Barnstead, the choice for reasonable and responsible candidates is a clear one.
We urge you to examine each candidate’s Learn More page, to review the irresponsible positions and actions they’ve taken.
Barbara Comtois supported Free Staters Norm Silber and Michael Sylvia throughout the Gunstock ordeal, and when the chips were down, didn’t show up for the vote. Ms. Comtois was one of 35 state reps who voted against allowing the legislature to condemn the January 6th violence at the U.S. Capitol. She is endorsed by WethePeopleNH, a fringe Libertarian group who disrupted an Executive Council meeting resulting in arrests, and angrily protested at Governor Sununu’s home.
Paul Terry turned his back on his county by not showing up to the pivotal August 1st vote on Gunstock, with local jobs at stake, supported having NH secede from the United States (CACR 32), and has posted QAnon slogans. After posting on Facebook that he did not support seceding, he accepted a campaign contribution from the NH Independence PAC, which supports secession. We strongly recommend that patriotic Alton & Barnstead voters vote for more sensible and qualified candidates.
Peter Varney missed over 40% of his roll call votes as a State Representative, and serves on no committees in the legislature. He boycotted the Aug. 1 Gunstock meeting with Gunstock and local economy jobs at stake.
County Commission District 3
Alton, Barnstead, Gilford, Laconia Ward 2
1 Seat
Steve Hodges (R)
Our Recommendations
You can’t go wrong with either of these candidates.
Mr. Hodges is the former elected Belknap County Sheriff for 15 years, former Dept. of Homeland Security manager, and knows how the county operates. He knows many of the current county employees and has a reputation as someone who gets things done.
Our Recommendations
Mr. Glassman is the incumbent for Registrar of Probate, serving three terms, and we feel that he will continue to serve the county as a good steward. He is a retired insurance executive.
