Twenty years after a Democratic wave swept both of New Hampshire's Republicans out of Congress and the NHGOP out of power in Concord, veterans of that election cycle see familiar warning signs heading into November. Former Rep. Jeb Bradley, former NHGOP chair Fergus Cullen and NHGOP operative Jeff Grappone debate and discuss.

In the NHJournal podcast, GOP NH-01 nominee Anthony DiLorenzo repeatedly compared his working-class background and business success to Democratic opponent Stefany Shaheen’s life as a beneficiary of her mother Sen. Jeanne Shaheen’s influence.

“I got my first job when I was eight years old. I’ve been working ever since,” DiLorenzo said. And Shaheen? “I don’t think she’s ever received a job that wasn’t because of her mother’s influence.”

Then it’s time to talk property tax cap with Rep. Ross Berry (R- Weare), one of the strongest proponents of the policy to let voters decide if they want to cap the growth of local education property taxes. Is it a good policy for New Hampshire or a smart political move for the NHGOP? Berry’s answer: “Yes!”
