Why I support Vivek Ramswamy
On Oct. 8, Vivek Ramaswamy visited New Hampshire’s northern border. He walked around the official border with the barbed wire fence and noted a sign to the side that said to the effect, “Hiking trail this way” that led around the barbed wire border crossing to where there was no fence or barrier of any kind, leading into the United States. He called for sending the military to that open zone while he was there.
In the Concord Monitor, I read where Gov. Sununu took up his fellow Republican’s suggestion and called for reinforcement of our northern border. It was good to see that presidential candidate Ramaswamy cared enough to really investigate our country’s porous border problems. To me, this indicates one who will commit far more than the usual political rhetoric, will seriously dig into our country’s problems and come up with real solutions. This is why I support Vivek Ramaswamy for President and also why I value a good Republican governor who will implement a good idea when he hears one.

As a family physician practicing and living in New Hampshire, I am very concerned about the effects of climate change on my patients health as well as our state’s economy.
I am a strong believer in science and the vast majority of scientist agree that the worst is yet to come in what NH will experience with extreme weather events, loss of snow for skiing and recreation, crop destruction, worsening tick and mosquito borne illness, increasing energy costs for cooling and heating, drinking water contamination from flooding or dry wells from draught making safe water hard to get and other fall out from global warming.
I would like to strongly urge the leaders of the Republican Party to put combating climate change on the political agenda. I would like our NH Republican Party to help our state transition to renewable energy, continue to decrease CO2 emissions by developing non-fossil fuel sources of energy, incorporate the transition to electric vehicles within our state’s transportation plan and hopefully let NH do its part to help slow global warming.
World events and inflation are making it very hard to focus on other issues but slowing climate change must continue to be part of the agenda for all sides of the political spectrum. I ask our Republican leaders to use their fiscally conservative practices to work across the aisle and make New Hampshire a leader in transitioning to renewable energy.
