July 19 � To the Editor:

There are many candidates running in the District 1 congressional race. It is important that we the people have our voices heard as we decide what issues will need to be addressed after the mid-term elections. One candidate has the expertise, the legislative experience of taking on special interests to task, and the work ethic that we all want our leaders to possess.

Mindi Messmer is a scientist from the Seacoast area well known locally for fighting for our communities to get answers about water pollution sources when there had been none forthcoming from the local officials.

This is a grassroots campaign that accepts no PAC money, an honest, genuine people powered effort. We support Mindi because she wants to be the public servant we all want fighting for us. Medicare for all, support for workers rights, LGTBQ rights, and an increase in the minimum wage, and of course, we send our support her way because she wants to be a force for change to restore environmental laws that have been gutted by Pruitt and co. Mindi has the technical understanding of what needs to be addressed, the drive to make it happen, and the skills working both sides of the aisle to get bills passed.

The volunteers keep joining us, the endorsements from fellow reps and others, all show that NH will win with a fighter doing the people�s business in the people�s house.Please join us.
