State Rep. Brodie Deshaies (R-Wolfeboro) speaks Monday to a crowd of about 50 at a meeting of the Mount Washington Valley Republicans, where he defended his vote opposing HB 63. Many in the room at the Lobster Trap Restaurant in North Conway felt he should have supported the bill, which would forgive fines accrued by businesses for violating COVID-19 emergency orders.

CONWAY — A 22-year-old state representative got schooled by a roomful of Mount Washington Valley Republicans on Monday night after sharing his reasons behind a vote he took that they didn’t agree with.

Brodie Deshaies (R-Wolfeboro) was elected in November to represent Carroll County’s House District 6. He was a featured speaker at Monday’s meeting at the Lobster Trap Restaurant in North Conway, which drew about 50 people. The other speaker was Sun columnist Tom McLaughlin.
