Via Six State Signal, Oct 16, 2026 | Warmington Kelly Ayotte refuses to fight for Granite Staters. Cinde will take on Kelly Ayotte, stand up to Donald Trump, and fight for the people of New Hampshire. As Governor, Cinde will repeal Kelly Ayotte’s private school vouchers scheme that’s hurting public schools and driving up property taxes. She’ll stand up to Trump when he jacks up health care costs and tariffs. And, she’ll say no to ICE’s human warehouse in Merrimack or anywhere else. Cinde will work for our small … Campaign-website text via Ballotpedia Cinde's Priorities 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.

No grid accountability. No noise standards. Not one law on the books to make any developer answer for what they propose to take. Towns like Nottingham are fighting 40-acre facilities that would draw 5 million gallons of water a day — and they have no legal tools to protect themselves. Campaign-website text via Ballotpedia THE GRANITE STATE DATA CENTER BILL OF RIGHTS Electricity rates have already climbed 15% this past year. Massive data centers hit your bill two ways — expensive grid upgrades that get passed to you, and energy consumption that drives up prices for every household on the grid. Cinde will make sure data centers pay their fair share and cover both. And before any permit is issued, utilities must certify the grid can handle the load. Campaign-website text via Ballotpedia |

| AyotteNo public position found | Warmington TRUMP Governors are the last line of defense against Donald Trump’s chaos, costs, and corruption. But while governors across the country are fighting back, Kelly Ayotte has put Donald Trump first — and you last. The result is higher grocery prices, cuts to funding, and more costs for New Hampshire families. Campaign-website text via Ballotpedia |
