Letter
A Message To Gilmanton Voters:
I was not able to file as a delegate
to the State Republican Convention in June because I was in the hospital.
I have faithfully attended these conventions and felt that I was
representing Gilmanton.
I would appreciate a write-in vote at the GOP Primary on September 14.
Thank you.
