Why we are running together, what we each bring to the table, and the commitment we are making to Franklin voters.
Franklin deserves representatives who are acutely aware of the supreme importance of listening before speaking, being both present before being asked, and aggressively pursue results to the benefit of real issues versus political theater and without redundancy.
We are Representatives: Ernesto Gonzalez and Mike Visconti, Republican candidates for the two New Hampshire House seats serving Merrimack District 3, more descriptively, Wards One, Two, and Three in Franklin.
Our personal origins and experiences belong to different generations and backgrounds, but we share one common commitment: Franklin First in all aspects and pertinent situations.
Families are facing increasingly high costs for housing, groceries, energy, and property taxes, as well as all necessities.
Our schools need determined, accountable representatives who will strongly support quality education while respecting taxpayers.
Local businesses need less intrusive state government barriers, while avoiding the creation of new incumbrances.
These obstacles will not be solved without communal, continual efforts to eradicate the problem.
