“Listening to voters is her priority, going door-to-door and giving residents her full attention. She doesn’t rely on talking points or pretend to have all the answers. Instead, she considers issues carefully, respects differing perspectives, and follows up with a reasoned explanation and clear position.”

“Deirdre has an ideal background for public office. As a former head of school, she understands education. As a successful New Hampshire business owner, she understands economics and taxes. With a degree in conflict resolution, she knows how to bring people together and find practical solutions to difficult problems.

Most importantly, anyone who has worked with Deirdre knows she is positive, professional and reliable. Her willingness to reach across the aisle and focus on getting things done is exactly what we need in Concord right now.

We need to move beyond partisan politics and elect someone who will truly represent the needs of our towns — including preserving local control. I think Deirdre McEachern is that person. I will be proud to vote for her on Nov. 3.”
