Why NHSC Endorses Candidates for Elected Office

Arthur B. Cunningham

The New Hampshire Chapter Political Committee made a dramatic decision before the September 10, 2024, primary.

The Political Committee decided, with a vote of approval from the NHSC Executive Committee, to endorse State Representative Rebecca McWilliams for the open Senate seat in the 15^th District, Hopkinton, Bow and Concord.

The Chapter does not often endorse candidates in the primary but Representative McWilliams is an exceptional legislator. She has served 3 terms on the House of Representatives Science, Technology and Energy Committee (STE). This powerful Committee takes the first and most important look at proposed energy legislation. STE is the Committee where legislation regarding energy rates, the cost of energy transmission, the cost of energy distribution and wholesale rates is introduced.
