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

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.

“Councilor Wants Hooksett To Join Suit Against State”
Budget: Towns, school districts object to state reducing its contribution to employee retirement funds.
HOOKSETT - Hooksett Town Councilor David Boutin says the state is passing its costs onto the towns and he, for one, doesn’t want to stand by and let it happen.
What has him concerned is that the state, in its new budget, will decrease its contribution to the statewide police, fire and teacher retirement fund by 10 percent over the next two years.
The state has traditionally matched 35 percent in funding since the retirement program began decades ago. By the end of the 2011 fiscal year, that contribution will drop to 25 percent.
Judy Silva, the government affairs counsel for the Municipal Association at the Local Government Center, said it adds up to about $27 million that local governments and school districts will have to make up on their own over the two-year period.
“It’s a lot of money in these difficult times,” Silva said. “It’s a cost that the cities and towns did not pay because the state had always paid.”
Boutin, also a state representative, said he thinks that shifting the economic burden to the towns is unconstitutional.
He said he will urge his fellow Hooksett town councilors to join a lawsuit organized by the Municipal Association to protest the cuts.
“The state is not allowed to pass unfunded mandates against the local communities,” Boutin said.
“I’m going to argue what the state is doing is unconstitutional. It’s downshifting an unreasonable burden to the town of Hooksett.”
Hooksett could join the lawsuit that more than 100 towns and school districts have already signed onto for about $2,200, Boutin said. He thinks it’s a small price to pay considering the amount the town stands to lose.
“I want to stress to the concil that this legislative action is a catastrophe for local budgets and the property taxpayers are going to have to pay for it,” he said.
“I hope that they (vote to join the lawsuit) because ultimately the downshifting of state responsibility to towns is going to shift a disastrous burden to the property tax payers.”
In the meantime, while Silva says towns and school districts are contributing a larger chunk into the retirement pool under much protest, Boutin said he wants Hooksett to take it one step further.
“The second part of the conversation is do we want to consider establishing an interest bearing escrow account until the litigation is resolved?” Boutin asked.
Hooksett taxpayers would have to make up about $170,000 over the next two years to fund the portion of the police, fire and teacher retirement pool that the state has traditionally paid. Boutin wants the town to freeze that amount in an account until the lawsuit is settled.
“In the unlikely case - because I really think we have a very strong case - that the court rules in favor of the state, the money would be in (the account) with interest and we would just send the money,” he said.
The Hooksett Town Council will discuss this issue among others at its next regular meeting at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 5 in the Hooksett town offices, 35 Main St.
