Don Giguere

Don Giguere was born and raised in the Belmont–Laconia area. Growing up here gave him a lasting appreciation for New Hampshire’s communities, public schools, lakes, mountains, and changing seasons.

After graduating from Syracuse University, Don built a long career in hospitality, beginning with local experience at Steele Hill Resort. His career later took him to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas before returning home to New Hampshire.

Don served veterans at the New Hampshire Veterans Home in Tilton, first as a Licensed Nursing Assistant and then through recreation programs and community activities. He combined that work with his lifelong love of art, offering painting activities and helping display veterans’ artwork and photographs throughout the Home.

Now retired, Don has the time to step forward himself. He is running to bring a lifetime of service to Concord and to be a stronger voice for public schools, local taxpayers, veterans, and the communities of Belmont, Sanbornton, and Tilton.

State Senate District 2

Kurt Webber

Kurt Webber is a West Point graduate and retired Army officer with over 23 years of service in Infantry and Special Forces units, and 2 tours teaching at West Point. After 9/11, just a few months after retiring, Kurt volunteered to go back on active duty and served in Iraq in 2005 advising the Iraqi Army. When not on active duty, Kurt was a professor at Lakes Region Community College and New Hampshire Technical Institute from 2001 to 2017.

Kurt has committed his life to public service both in and out of uniform. He founded the Patriot Resilient Leader Institute, which runs the Camp Resilience program that has hosted over 150 therapeutic retreats for military, veterans, first responders, and their loved ones since 2014 with over 1400 participants to date. He has also served in Scouting, Lakes Region Veterans Coalition, the Gilford School Board, coaching the Gilford High School football team, Gunstock Ski Patrol, and as NH State Coordinator for West Point Admissions.

“I am a moderate who believes in fiscal responsibility and that the most important things for any member of any legislature are integrity and a willingness to compromise,” Kurt says. “Without compromise, democracy doesn’t work. I understand, and in many cases sympathize with, the valid concerns of people at both ends of the political spectrum but don’t agree with the more extreme positions on either side.”

Executive Council District 1

Luz Bay

I am running for the New Hampshire Executive Council to serve the people of District 1, a region that stretches across 91 municipalities from Dover and Durham in the south to Pittsburg at our northern border. Our communities deserve a leader who brings independence, diligence, and a deep commitment to transparency.

The Executive Council is the most powerful oversight body in New Hampshire government. It approves or denies state and federal contracts over $10,000, confirms judicial and executive appointments, oversees the expenditure of state and federal funds, helps shape our transportation infrastructure, and reviews pardon requests.

As a three‑time cancer survivor, marathoner, and state representative, I am familiar with overcoming long odds as well as fighting for my community. I’m running because the people of District 1 deserve a voice in the Council who understands resilience, and who will work tirelessly to ensure fairness, accountability, and opportunity for every resident.

On the Council, my priorities will be:

Ensuring quality public education for every child
Protecting every woman’s right to choose
Expanding access to affordable health care
Advancing economic justice so that working families can thrive in every corner of our state.

These issues determine whether our neighbors can see a doctor, whether our schools are strong, and whether opportunity is truly available to all.

Governor

Cinde Warmington

Cinde Warmington believes every Granite Stater should be able to put a roof over their heads, feed their kids, give them a great education, and retire with dignity. That’s not a radical idea. It’s what was once possible, and what we’ve been watching disappear — year by year, cut by cut, for decades.

Cinde has watched it change over her lifetime. Wages flatten as costs skyrocket. Unchecked corporate power and greed, while working Granite Staters have picked up the tab through property taxes, tuition, and rent that never stop going up. The nurses, teachers, and other workers who keep this state running can’t afford to live in it.

None of that happened by accident. Those are the results of choices made by the people in power.

Cinde’s platform is about reversing those choices. Every proposal is designed to help ensure that working Granite Staters can afford to call New Hampshire home.
