THIS INDEPENDENCE DAY. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE MAURA SULLIVAN.

Happy 4th of July, David!

I hope your holiday is off to a great start. This is a holiday that holds particular importance for me. I have many special memories celebrating our country’s birthday-- probably the one that stands out the most was with my team of Marines in Iraq in 2005. It was a busy day, but we took a few minutes in the morning together to pause and read The Declaration of Independence-- a reminder to all of us of the great nation we were defending-- and her values of equality, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I hope that you have some time today to make new and happy memories with family and friends, and celebrate the 242nd birthday of our great country. We have so much to be proud of and grateful for.

Thank you so much, and happy 4th of July to you and your family!

Maura

THE FOURTH. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE KEN HARBAUGH.

David, Independence Day marks the beginning of the great American promise, the day we declared to the world that “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” were worth the fight.  Today, we say thank you for our freedom, friends, and family. And, most importantly, we pause to remember those who have fought so bravely to defend the values we hold dear. Hug your loved ones, watch some fireworks, drink lemonade. And remember that government of the people, by the people, and for the people starts with all of us. Happy 4th of July! In service, Ken

INDEPENDENCE. U.S. REPRESENTATIVE DAVID CICILLINE.

Dear David, This week, we celebrate our country’s Independence Day. Since July 4, 1776, the United States has stood as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to all mankind. Our values of freedom, equality, and opportunity have built the strongest, most powerful country in the history of the world. Those same values have offered a goal for every country to strive towards. As President Abraham Lincoln put it in a message to Congress more than 150 years ago, the United States of America still stands as “the last best hope of earth.” Today, many of us feel that our core values are under attack. In an era of constant political fighting, and a presidency that takes place largely on Twitter, it’s easy to feel like these values are slipping away. We can’t let that happen. America is worth fighting for. As we celebrate our country today, I want you to know that I will never stop fighting to uphold our core values as Americans. Working together, we can preserve freedom, equality, and opportunity for the next generation. We can protect and preserve the ideals of our Founding Fathers, and continue to be an example of goodness to the world. I wish you and your family a very Happy Independence Day, David Cicilline Member of Congress

Your electric bill is going up. GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE MOLLY KELLY.

Dear David:

Talk about putting special interests ahead of New Hampshire families.

Chris Sununu has received more than $50,000 in campaign contributions from our state's utility company, Eversource. And you know what just happened? Eversource announced it is raising our electric rates by almost 20%.

This will hurt Granite Staters who are already struggling to get by, especially seniors living on a fixed income.

Instead of doing the bidding of his major campaign contributor, Sununu should have been working for the people of New Hampshire.

As governor, the people of our state will come first, not the power company. 

Eversource is getting its money's worth. Sununu killed important renewable energy legislation that would have encouraged small business growth and job creation and lowered utility bills for cities, towns and ratepayers. It also reduced competition for Eversource.

Sununu is filling his campaign coffers with big utility money, and consumers are getting higher rates. That's wrong.

Sununu can't be trusted to put New Hampshire's best interests ahead of special interests.

Thank you,

Molly
