Democrats are once again meddling in a GOP primary — this time in a competitive New Hampshire House district, with the goal of elevating a far-right candidate over a moderate backed by GOP Gov. Chris Sununu.
The intervention in the race to take on Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster comes from an unlikely source: Democrats Serve, a new PAC that backs Democratic candidates with public service backgrounds. The group has booked some $94,000 on cable TV to boost Bob Burns, a pro-Trump Republican who is campaigning as the “only pro-life candidate” in the Sept. 13 primary.

Burns has raised far less money than his chief rival, Keene Mayor George Hansel, who Democrats feel would be a far more formidable candidate against Kuster. The ad could raise Burns' name ID and potentially endear him to conservative voters in the final stretch of the race. It will run in the Boston and Burlington, Vt. markets on Fox News Channel, according to the media tracking firm AdImpact.
“I’m also the only pro-Trump, unapologetic conservative,” Burns says in the spot, which uses footage of him at a campaign event. “I’m against pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens. I want to build the wall and I’m an America First candidate.”
President Joe Biden carried the district by 9 points in 2020, and Republicans are hoping to contest the seat in the midterm election.
Hansel appears better positioned than Burns to pick up crossover voters. He describes himself as “pro-choice” and has been an advocate for fighting climate change. He nabbed an early endorsement from Sununu, a popular governor who has won statewide by casting a centrist profile in a purple state. Hansel also once appeared at a Black Lives Matter rally in Keene, drawing attacks from his opponent.

I have a couple friends who are state reps.
One is currently running for State Senate.
My daughter and wife have both spoken at committee meetings in regards to various pet/animal rights legislation in the past.
People who come to the US from commie countries know what real oppression is (like my wife from Cambodia) and really love this country (for the most part).
They know a lot more about our US history then the average native American does.
That is why I am willing to give someone like Lily a chance.
