AND THE WINNERS ARE:


Congratulations go out to David Huot and Charlie St. Clair for winning their District 5 State House elections. Laconia will be well represented by Charlie and Dave in Concord! Read below for a statement from the Laconia Democratic Party Chair Scott Ringer.


Statement from Scott Ringer, Laconia Democratic Committee Chair:


What an exciting Election Day! The cold and wind couldn’t dampen the spirit of the day. We all may be exhausted but we also know that real change only happens with hard work and persistence. I am proud that our candidates ran a clean, issue-based campaign.  I honestly believe you couldn't find a more impressive, level-headed, and passionate team on any ballot.  Democrats win when Democrats vote, and our volunteers helped get voters to realize the importance of this midterm election.  Record-breaking numbers of voters were seen not only voting, but also registering to vote for the first time.


Congratulations go out to David Huot and Charlie St. Clair for winning their District 5 State House elections. Laconia will be well represented by Charlie and Dave in Concord! All four candidates that included Patrick Wood and Eric Hoffman were prime examples of how a campaign should be run.  We flipped 2 seats in a very red city and that is due in large to the quality of the candidates on the ballot and the energetic volunteers. Integrity, honesty, honor, and real solutions to difficult issues were on the ballot in this election. Every one of our candidates exemplifies what it means to be a Democrat who cares for our community, our state, and our country! We thank you for jumping in and campaigning to represent Laconia.


There are many thanks to go around starting with the Laconia Democratic Executive Committee. I want to thank our Vice Chair, Lois Kessin, our Treasurer June Huot and our Secretary Jayne Crowther for their hard work and devotion to the party.  Your commitment and overall eagerness to get Democrats elected is inspiring.  You worked countless hours and days to make sure our candidates had all the tools they needed to be victorious. Change only happens when good people like you put in the hard work. A big thank you goes out to all of you for your efforts and I am proud to have had you on the Team!


You cannot run a successful campaign without volunteers.  Whether it’s sign holding, canvassing, attending monthly meetings, etc.… have made a big difference.  Thank you for volunteering and your continued support will be critical for the next election and beyond.


I want to thank the individual donors who have contributed to the Committee and the individual campaigns.  None of the advertising, campaign materials, and house parties would have been possible without their generous donations.  It doesn’t matter the size of the donation, only that you have contributed.


There are so many more amazing people to thank.  All your contributions were vital and appreciated, and we hope that you can continue to be part of the Team!


Lastly, I want to thank the candidates from the other side of the aisle.  We don’t always agree on issues and solutions, but we all have to respect the fact that they are trying to do their civic duty., and that’s what democracy is all about.


Today we picked up 2 seats, but the work doesn’t stop there.  We must continue pushing forward and advancing this blue wave. I encourage everyone to attend the next monthly Tuesday, December 13th as we will discuss the lessons learned from this election.  Details about this meeting will be sent out in the next couple of weeks.
