Catch my video asking Mayor Joyce Craig for a full, public inquiry into the deadly debacle at the Quality Inn last week. Worried about the increasingly dangerous policing, lockdowns, and new police cameras being introduced without any public input? Join me at City Hall on Tuesday, April 9th at 5PM
Whoo-heee!!! I'm a tad broke after this weekend's excursion through the #MadeInNH Expo at the downtown Hilton in Manchester--formerly the Radisson Hotel, which, like "No Smoking" announcements on airplanes, I wonder how long we will have to say. Actually, I formally decree, for me, this will be the last time:
Failure is never easy, especially when you are used to succeeding. I finished high school when I was 16, and law school when I was 21. I was crowned "Miss Mafikeng" in 1982, winning a hairdryer for being the prettiest girl in primary school. I was one of
My sincere thanks to the voters of District 20 for their support yesterday. I did not win, but I did get 1.5% more votes than in 2016. My time will come. Running against "the lion of the senate" was always going to be an uphill slog. I
Are you tired of all this politics, politics, politics? Can’t wait for Election Day on November 6th to be over? Me too! :) In order for me to win against my opponent, Lou D’Allesandro (80) who has spent the past 20 years in the senate restricting your liberties and
Last week was super busy, and I'm playing catch up on informing you about my race. First, and most awesomely, my billboard on South Willow went up! :D Last Wednesday, I got to hang out with Grover Norquist (pictured) and many other candidates who support the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which
The following op-ed appeared on Manchester Ink Link: Did you know there will be two Constitutional amendments on the Nov. 6th ballot? Since political TV ads are spilling over from Massachusetts that may lead to confusion for Granite State voters, here’s a breakdown of the two questions that will
I was invited by School Choice for NH to share my views on school choice. Every child is a unique individual and “one size” does not fit all when it comes to his or her educational path. Some children thrive in government-run schools, others do not. I support school choice
The following op-ed appeared as part of "Granite State Debates" in the print version of today's Union Leader: I am the Republican nominee for state Senate in District 20, running against a 20-year incumbent, Lou D’Allesandro (80), the self-declared “Lion of the Senate,” who has seemingly unlimited
May I ask you why? I understand Lou D'Allesandro used to be a Republican, but he switched parties to become a Democrat a long time ago. Lou usually votes Democratic party line, so he votes against the 1st Amendment, the 2nd Amendment, against school choice, against healthcare freedom, for higher
Following is the script for my Manchester TV campaign ad: Greetings Goffstown and Manchester Wards 3, 4, 10 and 11. My name is Carla Gericke, and I want to be your next state Senator in District 20. It’s time for a change. It’s time for a fresh, independent
Say it isn't so! My opponent, Lou D'Allesandro (80) has been in the Senate, raising your taxes for 20 years. This article states: “'Only 15 state legislatures in the U.S. are term limited,' U.S. Term Limits President Philip Blumel writes in a letter to the Mercatus folks.
Today's Sunday Union Leader features another Letter to the Editor from a Manchester small business owner in support of my candidacy. My favorite line is this description: "I am no fan of Lou 'Never Met a Tax He Doesn't Like' D'Allesandro." :P It's true! "[Republican] Carla's main
I finished high school when I was 16 years old, and law school when I was 21. My first "job" was when I was eight-ish, when my sister, our best friend, and I would go--with our parents' permission--to a neighborhood grocery store in Pretoria, and offer to push
Pamela Ean, who is running in District 15 and I recently penned an op-ed for the Concord Monitor in which we make a case for your support and vote on November 6th. "New Hampshire consistently ranks as the best state in which to live, work, and play exactly because
"As an independent voter, I have found myself becoming increasingly disappointed and frustrated with politicians over the years. I place a high level of importance on principles and integrity, and I value practical efforts toward solving pressing problems. Rarely have I felt any candidate cared about anything other than
A big THANK YOU to everyone who attended last night's Meet and Greet hosted by Jean Mathieu and I at her office on Elm Street. Jean is the Republican candidate for Ward 4, which falls within my Senate District 20 (Manchester Wards 3, 4, 10 & 11 and Goffstown). Thanks
I'm not particularly sappy, but finding this Letter to the Editor in today's Union Leader brought tears to my eyes. "I was in an accident and became paralyzed a few years ago and Carla, in keeping with her beliefs, gave me a hand up instead of a hand out
Thank you to Joe Kelly Levasseur for this ringing endorsement! I had a splendid time last week on the "Will and Joe Show" on Channel 23. Thanks for having me! "Every once in a while I’ll do an interview on the Will and Joe show and
Thank you to this Manchester mom for her support! I promise to do her proud, and to serve all my constituents with integrity, character, and compassion. "If you are a voter who believes in fiscal responsibility and helping reduce barriers to success that hard-working mom’s like myself face,
