Free Stater Jason Osborne, 45, is seen in a campaign sign posted on his website. The Republican from Auburn apologized for statements made in 2011 on a Free Stater website that contained racial slurs.

CONCORD — State Rep. Matt Wilhelm (D-Manchester) has called on House Majority Leader Rep. Jason Osborne to resign. He also criticized Gov. Chris Sununu for not also calling for Osborne's resignation after a decade-old website post resurfaced of Osborne using repeated racial slurs.

Osborne, a Republican from Auburn, didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment but told WMUR on Thursday he was sorry for the remarks posted on a website forum at “Free Talk Live,” a Free Stater radio show based in Keene.
