Donald R. Philbrick, State Rep. Carroll County District 4

To the editor:As the primary election nears, I would like to recommend and endorse Jeb Bradley as the best qualified candidate for District I House of Representatives seat.I have seen first-hand Jeb's work in the New Hampshire House for the past 10 years. He has been able to resolve many of the toughest issues facing the state.I served on the Environment and Agriculture Committee with Jeb 10 years ago when the state was faced with auto emission testing. The legislation his subcommittee developed proved that he has the ability to get the job done under many pressures. He has demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities as Chairman of the House Science and Technology Committee, and the House Ethics Committee. Several of his accomplishments involve legislation to reduce our electrical rates. He has demonstrated a balance on protection of our air quality and the needs of the state.I fully support his stands on military funding and his support on veteran issues including concurrent pay. It is totally unfair that retired veterans should have to give up their retirement pay if they are disabled. In conclusion, I feel of all the candidates running he has demonstrated the ability and skills necessary to best serve the voters of District I.
