Osborne: “Nobody’s Property Tax Bill Went Up By Accident”
AUBURN, N.H. - House Majority Leader Jason Osborne today announced five more public endorsements in his campaign for Speaker of the New Hampshire House. One hundred fifty sitting members and 2026 Republican candidates have now committed their support to Osborne for Speaker.
“Wednesday is veto day. The House effectively gavels out for the biennium, which clears the path for the work of the next one. I have spent the summer building it,” said Osborne.
“I have been in a lot of towns since June, and voters tell me the same thing everywhere I go. They lead with what things cost. Democrats on local budget committees voted their property taxes up again this year, their school district asks for more every March, their health plan charges more every January and covers less, and a regional grid we do not control sets their electric bill.
“The next Republican majority will drive down the cost of living. We will put hard limits on the local spending that drives property tax bills, we will put education dollars in the hands of the parents who decide where their children learn, and we will take on a health care market that prices care out of reach for the families paying for it.
“This majority built its record by putting points on the board, and the next one will add to it. A caucus that shows up in December still deciding what it believes spends two years reacting to everyone else’s agenda. Ours will walk in knowing exactly what it intends to pass, and then it will pass it.”
