Steve Woodcock: N.H. Republican leaders continue to ignore the pandemic

Republican leaders in the state legislature continue to ignore the pandemic despite clear and convincing evidence that COVID is real, causes severe health problems and results in the death of nearly three out of every 100 people who become infected.

Unfortunately, in New Hampshire our COVID cases are once again rising as Delta variant transmission grows among unvaccinated Americans. For legislators and their families as well as constituents testifying to legislation, participating in state government has become a high-risk activity threatening their health and safety. This is an unreasonable level of risk to take on in order to participate in state government.
