Letter: We deserve dynamic leaders willing to shake things up

Posted

To the editor:

For several years Barrington and Warren have been represented by Jason Knight who runs with the progressive crowd. I don’t know of an instance when he voted on anything, no matter how inconsequential, that went against the wishes of the House Speaker.

He may come to the soccer games and hand out the grant checks for photo opportunities, but how does that help our towns or state that continues to drown economically? His campaign literature sounds upbeat, but he pays little to no attention to the concerns of residents.

Jason Knight might be a nice person, but we deserve dynamic leaders willing to shake things up, not representatives who sit quietly and do as they are told year after year.

This November, I implore everyone to vote for leaders, not followers.

He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
