Again, I want express my warm thanks for all of your support, and I look forward to working on your behalf and earning your continued support
The transition from campaign to governance has been a smooth and speedy one. I have assumed my senate duties including my three senate committee assignments: Wildlife and Agriculture; Transportation and Interstate Cooperation; and Capital Budget.
When I moved into my office it was barren. I truly believe that the office and senate seat belong to the people of State Senate district 16. In that spirit, I have decorated the office with historic pictures and prints that have been either acquired or given to me on loan from the Town Historic Societies from the four towns in district 16 (Candia, Hooksett, Bow and Dunbarton) and the city of Manchester. Special thanks goes out to Rep. Eric Anderson of Bow who supplied me with three spectacular photographs depicting Bow’s history. Comments thus far have been very positive!
The office is conveniently located at Room 102 on the first floor of the Legislative Office Building. Many folks from the district have already stopped by to say hello. Deb Martone, my newly hired assistant, is very personable and she does a great job keeping my appointment schedule and working on constituent issues. If you would like to either stop by for a visit, or if you require assistance with an issue, please contact either Deb or me at 271-2709.
I recently agreed to be auctioned off at a Manchester City Rotary Club Charity Dinner. The winning bidder, Claira Monier, for her generous charitable donation won a tour of the State House to be given by me and lunch with me on my tab at the Common Man Restaurant in Concord.
I welcome visitors and I enjoy giving tours of the State House. Please stop in! This is your office.

I am extremely grateful for the tremendous outpouring of support that I received from hundreds of people in my election to the State Senate. During the many months of campaigning throughout State Senate District 16, I met many wonderful people who helped and encouraged me.
Many, many people came out to support my candidacy by writing letters to the editor, making phone calls, participating in door knocking and sign waves, and making financial contributions to my campaign. I am especially thankful for the many hardy folks who stood at the polls on my behalf on that cold and snowy election day.
I vividly remember the scene when I arrived late on Tuesday, February 16th at the Cawley Middle School in Hooksett. The eight people standing outside the poll area and holding my signs looked like “walking snowmen”. I was very touched by their dedication.
I thank everybody for your friendship and warm support. As promised, I will be your voice in Concord, and I encourage all residents of the district, irrespective of party affiliation, to contact me with your thoughts and concerns. I can be reached via e-mail at dboutin1465@comcast.net or on my cell phone at 203-5391.

Dear Friend and Supporter,
On February 16th voters in three Manchester wards, Bow, Dunbarton, Candia, and Hooksett have an opportunity to continue conservative momentum in Concord. The State Senate seat in District 16 is vacant due to the recent election of Ted Gatsas as Manchester’s Mayor. Ted is off to a great start as mayor after serving with distinction in the Senate.
Due to Mayor Gatsas’s successful election, voters have a choice to fill his vacant seat with a proven tax fighting conservative or someone whose unabashedly liberal voting record means ever growing government. I don’t know about you, but I think we already have enough reckless spending Democrats in Concord!
David Boutin is the proven tax fighter and the conservative in this race
and I ask that you consider assisting his fundraising efforts.
After a successful business career David served two terms in the New Hampshire House from 1995 to 1998. David retired with his wife of nearly forty years to Hooksett. When there was a vacancy in the House, David stepped up to win a special election in 2007. Currently he is a member of the Ways and Means Committee and also serves as a Town Councilor in Hooksett.
When the Senate District 16 seat became vacant, David went to work. He greeted voters by knocking on over a thousand doors, visited transfer stations, and made countless phone calls. His hard work paid off as he won a spirited Republican primary on January 12th.
But now David’s task becomes tougher as he faces a well funded Democrat, Representative Jeff Goley, who is beholden to the crowd of grow government liberals and other special interests who want to win this seat so they can continue their spending and taxing binge.
In 2009 alone, Representative Jeff Goley has voted for a new capital gains tax, a new estate tax, as well as increases in the gas tax, rooms and meals tax, tobacco tax, gambling taxes, and car and boat registrations fees. Mr. Goley further voted to shift millions of dollars of expenses to cities and towns thus raising property taxes. And worst of all, Mr. Goley voted for the so called LLC Tax, which is nothing more than an income tax levied on small business owners - implemented without a public hearing. Yes, that’s right, an income tax on business owners without even the courtesy of a public hearing! In the past Mr. Goley has voted for the statewide property tax and against killing a general sales tax.
Why all the taxes? Well, Mr. Goley voted for a spending binge: hikes of over 10% in the latest budget and 11% in the previous budget —- a staggering increase of $2.1 billion. New Hampshire government has grown at a phenomenal pace during the same time that people across the state are making difficult cut backs and tough personal decisions because of the terrible economy.
There could not be a clearer difference between these two candidates. Representative David Boutin, a member of the House Ways & Means Committee, voted against this bloated budget and voted against the 38 tax and fee hikes that Mr. Goley supported. David Boutin knows that growing government, raising taxes and burdening small business with stifling regulations will not get the 50,000 unemployed New Hampshire citizens back to work.
On the issues that matter most to voters today - restoring a growing economy, prudently managing the state’s budget, and not over-taxing New Hampshire’s hard pressed working families, there could not be a clearer choice for the voters in Senate District 16. That’s why I am asking you to consider making a donation to David’s effort today.
Special elections usually involve low turnout so it is possible Mr. Goley and the State Democratic Party can use their current financial advantage to add yet another vote to the tax and spend agenda in Concord. But with your generous help, we can turn that around and insure this senate seat remains in the hands of a conservative.
As I write this letter, David Boutin is again knocking on doors. No one will work harder to protect your pocketbook, your values or your freedoms. David knows how to say no and he knows when enough is enough.
Please visit his website at: www.boutinforstatesenate.com where you can also make a contribution. Or call David on his cell phone while he is out knocking on doors at 603-203-5391. Thank you so much for your consideration of David’s campaign. His victory will send a strong message for fiscal responsibility to Concord.
Very sincerely yours,
Jeb Bradley

Dear Friends,
I want to thank everyone that came out and voted on Tuesday and I want to especially thank all of my supporters who stood at the polls in 
some very cold weather as well as everyone that has been helping me over these last several months; making phone calls, helping me put up signs and knocking on doors, I am grateful for all of your help and encouragement.
Working families and small businesses throughout New Hampshire are struggling and New Hampshire is at a crossroads. We have the choice whether to continue on the road that my opponent Jeff Goley and the Liberal Democrats in the Legislature want to continue on, a road of more spending and countless hikes in taxes and fees. A road that has brought us a half a billion dollar deficit and the highest unemployment rate in memory. Or we can go down the road that I want to go on, and go the direction of cutting state spending, of cutting taxes, and of putting people back to work.
For the next 4 weeks I am going to continue my grassroots campaign, I am going to continue knocking on doors in the freezing cold because I am committed to victory on February 16th because we can’t afford to have a liberal tax and spender like Jeff Goley in the Senate.
Campaigns aren’t easy, and they aren’t cheap, and that is why I am asking all my friends and supporters to put a sign in their lawn, to tell their friends and neighbors how important it is that they vote on February 16th, to commit to making phone calls and knocking on doors, or making a financial contribution to support my efforts. If everyone who receives this email could donate just $10 or $25 today that would allow me to purchase more lawn signs and bring us one step closer to victory.
Again thank you for your continued support,
David R. Boutin
Joined by friends and supporters, I have officially filed my paperwork with the Secretary of State’s office for my candidacy for State Senate District 16 in the upcoming special election. I also want my readers to know I’ve signed the Coalition of NH Taxpayers “Taxpayer Pledge” in which I have stated “if elected to any statewide office, I will oppose all efforts to impose a sales, income, or other broadbased tax on the taxpayers of the State of New Hampshire.”
David Boutin officially files for his candidacy for the State Senate District 16 seat.
I am grateful for all the support I have received over the last several months as I have been campaigning all around Senate District 16 talking about the need to cut spending and lower taxes. I believe the only way we are going to get our State’s economy back on track is by encouraging small businesses to expand and grow, and they can’t do that in the hostile business environment that the Democrats in the Legislature have created through their excessive new taxes and fees. That’s why I am running for State Senate and that’s why I have signed the Taxpayers pledge opposing any efforts to impose a Sales, Income or any broadbased tax in New Hampshire.
“David is a hard worker and a true fiscal conservative, he has been the taxpayers best friend as a State Representative serving on the Ways and Means Committee and I know he will be even more effective in the Senate and that is why I am supporting his efforts” said State Senator Sheila Roberge. Senator Roberge is serving her 12th term in the Senate and is the Dean of the Senate, an honorary title bestowed upon the longest-serving sitting Senator.
“Every taxpayer in Senate District 16 should stand up and support David Boutin in his efforts to be their next State Senator. David has a solid record of supporting lower taxes, and lower regulations and fees. David will be a strong voice for the taxpayer in the Senate and not be beholden to any special interest group” said Ed Naile, Chairman of the Coalition of NH Taxpayers.
Thank you for your continued support.

The liberal tax-and-spend Democrats have been recently spouting their “less-than-honest” talking points in the op-ed pages of the Union Leader and other dailies across the state that they passed a responsible budget this year.
The liberal line goes like this – they “had to make difficult choices to adopt a responsible and balanced budget in these difficult times”. The fact of the matter is that their budget is neither responsible nor balanced.
Is it a responsible budget? You be the judge. Their budget that passed in June increased from $10.4B to $11.5B, or by $1.0B which is a whopping 10.5% growth in spending. And, I remind you spending in the previous budget grew by 12.5%. So, it needs to be said – over and over - that overall democrat spending has climbed 23% since the Democrats gained majority control in 2007.
The Democrats budget passed is a shell game that relies on inflated revenues, one-time federal handouts, a $110M raid on the private malpractice insurance fund and the downshifting of $90M of cost to cities and towns whose struggling property owners will now have to carry a higher tax burden.
Is the budget balanced? You be the judge. The Democrat budget includes an accounting gimmick (reminiscent of what we see coming out of Washington) that takes $208M of the general fund books and places it into stand-alone dedicated funds. Voila! – the tax-and-spenders claim that they have reduced spending. Not so!
To make matters worse, the tax-and-spenders left a “ticking time bomb” in a hidden closet under the state house dome before they went home for summer recess. That “ticking time bomb” is a $600M deficit projected by the non-partisan Legislative Budget Office come 2011 that could grow to over $700M if the State Supreme Court agrees with the State Superior Court and rules that the state’s raid on the $110M JUA fund is unconstitutional.
Also, if this budget was balanced and responsible as the Democrats say it is, then why are 150 cities and towns and over 50 school districts preparing a lawsuit against the state for handing local taxpayers higher bills?
Apparently, responsible budgeting is in the eye of the beholder!
