To the editor:
I respectfully request that voters in Windham and Salem vote to re-elect Margaret McKee Crisler for New Hampshire State Representative for Rockingham District 4 on Sept. 14.
Margaret was first elected as state representative for Rockingham District 4 in 2008. During her term Margaret has achieved a perfect attendance and has an excellent voting record. She is deeply involved in the Republican House caucus and is dedicated to evaluating the issues voted on. In Concord in January of 2009, I had the experience working with Margaret for a public hearing on record research fee reduction before the Judiciary Committee. She advocated and represented my issue with extraordinary ability and dedication.
Margaret has served three terms as a Windham selectman, beginning in 1997 and ending March 2008. For most of these years, she also served as the selectman member of the Planning Board, as well as the liaison to Historic District Commission/Heritage Commission, Recreation Committee, and the Windham Technical Advisory committee. She is a founding member of the Windham Economic Development Committee, has served on the NH DOT CTAP Steering Committee, and is a master gardener with UNH-Cooperative Extension. She is an active member of the Windham Garden Club, the Windham Woman's Club, the Salem Women's Club, and the Windham Historical Society.
Margaret's solution to the huge deficit New Hampshire is currently facing is her commitment, competence and thorough analysis to every issue. She is committed to improving water quality-both our drinking water and our lakes and streams. Margaret's other priorities are maintaining open space, preserving historic structures, and protecting the family farm.
Upon her re-election, Margaret will continue fighting to keep taxes low and water quality high. She is determined to promote business development in New Hampshire, and among other contributions, she will continue to listen to her constituents to support their needs — something I witnessed firsthand.
