Re-Elect Timothy Horrigan

NH House of Representatives; Strafford County District #7

General Election: Tuesday; November 2, 2010

Representing the people of Durham, Lee and Madbury since December 2008 has been one of the greatest honors of my life, and I hope to return. I served on the House Election Law Committee as well as on the Revenue Committee of the Strafford County Conference. (I also served briefly as a temporary substitute on the House Labor Committee.)

I grew up in Durham and attended the Oyster River Schools before graduating from the Northfield Mount Hermon School Columbia University, and the University of Southern California. I have three decades of experience as an information-technology specialist and a writer.

My legislative priorities have included and will always include:

• Preserving both the federal and state constitutions

• Free, fair and open elections, using accurately-counted paper ballots

• Protecting the personal freedoms of all New Hampshire citizens

• Protecting the rights of all families, conventional or unconventional

• Protecting gay, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual people from discrimination

• Marriage equality

• Preserving the environment

• Making sure UNH continues to be one of the top state universities in America

During my first term, 2009-2010, I sponsored or cosponsored five bills which became law:

• HB 105: AN ACT relative to voting machines for the counting of ballots.

• HB 1150: AN ACT removing certain references to nomination for the office of vice-president.

• HB 1476: AN ACT relative to periodic verification of the checklist.

• HB 1477: AN ACT relative to checklist information and relative to challenges of voters.

• HCR 28: A RESOLUTION rescinding all requests by the New Hampshire legislature for a federal constitutional convention.

I sponsored or cosponsored two other bills which came close to passing:

• HB 1402: AN ACT repealing the crime of adultery
  (passed the House, but failed in the Senate)

• HB 1171: AN ACT repealing the prohibitions on Sunday business activities
  (passed both chambers, but the joint conference committee failed to come to an agreement)

What about Taxes?

New Hampshire's current tax system, which relies heavily on business taxes and property taxes, is unworkable. It is also unfair and regressive. Any attempt to reform the tax system will involve creating new taxes and/or increasing some existing taxes. I will not take "The Pledge" to oppose a "broad-based" tax. However, I am opposed to a broad-based sales tax at this time, primarily for technical reasons. (Basically, there is no standard nationwide scheme for classifying goods and services.)

What about Gambling?

Casinos and the like are not an alternative to taxes. Those facilities, if we had them in New Hampshire, would be taxed— and taxed heavily. The various proposals which came before the legislature in 2009 and 2010 were not worth pursuing: the costs would have vastly outweighed the benefits.

What about Spending Cuts?

I favor efficient, small and unobtrusive government. We already have that in New Hampshire, though there is room for improvement. Massive short-term spending cuts are both unwise and impossible. Moreover, spending cuts are not a substitute for tax reform.

When & Where to Vote:

All voting in New Hampshire is done with paper ballots. The initial count will be done by machine, but a hand count can— and will— be carried out if necessary.

Strafford #7 Polling Places:

• Durham: Oyster River High School; 55 Coe Drive; Durham, NH 03824

• Lee: Public Safety Building; 20 George Bennett Road (near Lee 5 Corners); Lee, NH 03861

• Madbury: Town Hall; Town Offices; 13 Town Hall Road, Madbury, NH 03823

• Hours: 7am-7pm in Durham; 8am-7pm in Lee & Madbury

• absentee ballots must arrive at the polling place before the polls close on election day
  
  
  

College students & other local residents with multiple homes may register to vote in Durham, Lee or Madbury— as long as they have a residence in one of those towns and won't be voting anywhere else during the 2010 election cycle. UNH's dorms are residences just like all other housing units in Durham, and the students living on-campus in April 2010 were counted as part of Durham's population during the Decennial census.

General Election; Tuesday, November 2, 2010
You can register at your polling place—or at your town hall on or before October 23, 2010.

 Here is a letter to the editor which I wrote on October 22, 2010. Only the Dover, NH Foster's Daily Democrat ran it.

I have been campaigning hard this fall to return to the New Hampshire House, even though I made the mistake of resigning my seat in August. My resignation was made in haste after I made some comments about Sarah Palin which were widely misconstrued. I bear no personal animosity to Ms Palin, and I hope she comes here to New Hampshire and gets to know us. All the other 2012 Presidential hopefuls, including President Obama, are working hard in New Hampshire to lay the groundwork for our upcoming Presidential Primary. The other candidates realize that we Granite Staters know how to sort out the serious candidates from the pretenders.

The Presidential Primary is over a year away. The General Election is a few days away. I would like to ask each and very one of you in Durham, Lee and Madbury for one of your six state-rep votes on November 2^nd, 2010.

Protecting our "First in the Nation" Presidential Primary will be one of my legislative priorities. I also plan to work hard to preserve the integrity of our elections, to protect our personal freedoms, to bring more fiscal sanity to the state budget, and to make sure UNH continues to be one of America's great state universities. Along with my district-mate Janet Wall, I was one of only 38 state representatives out of 400 who made every roll call and attended every session day during the last two annual sessions. I cannot guarantee a 100% attendance record next biennium, but I can guarantee that I will keep working hard for all of you.

Thanks,

Timothy Horrigan
