Podcast Episode #34 - Melissa Blasek, New Hampshire State Representative

In this episode, Robert Fojo welcomes Melissa Blasek, a Representative of the New Hampshire House of Representatives. She serves Hillsborough County, District 21 (Merrimack). Melissa is serving her first term in the state legislature, and she has introduced or co-sponsored numerous pieces of legislation designed to limit the state government's health powers, including a bill to outlaw mask mandates in schools, a bill to limit the governor's emergency powers, and, most recently, a parental rights bill. Robert and Melissa discussed her efforts with those bills, the ongoing debate concerning the authority of local governments and school districts, her experience as a state representative, New Hampshire Governor Christopher Sununu's RINO traits, and the recent tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
