🚨𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐓 - 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝!🚨
We became aware late last week that Gunstock troublemakers Norm Silber and David Strang are running as write-ins for County Attorney and County Treasurer. Neither of these fringe libertarians should hold public office.

For Republicans and Unaffiliated voters taking a Republican primary ballot, we support the Belknap County Republicans in writing in Travis O'Hara for County Treasurer. If O'Hara gets more write-in votes, he keeps Strang off the general election ballot.

We also urge Republicans and Unaffiliated voters to write in current County Attorney Keith Cormier. If Cormier gets more votes, Silber will be blocked from the general election ballot!

Thank you to all who support reasonable and responsible!
