Osborne: How the Smallest House GOP Majority in History Has Gotten Big Results

05/10/22 • 32 min

In this edition of the NHJournal podcast, host Michael Graham begins with a bit of gratuitous mockery of the federal delegation over their handling of abortion politics. Then it's straight to House Majority Leader Rep. Jason Osborne on the successes his narrow GOP majority has enjoyed on issues like Education Freedom Accounts, tax cuts, the anti-discrimination law and passing a ban on late-term abortions.
How did the House GOP pull it off? Tune in and find out. Plus -- what issue does Osborne say is going to be his highest priority?
It's all in the podcast, sponsored by Dr. Bruce Houghton at Perfect Smiles in Nashua.

Speaker Packard On 'The Most Successful House Session in 100 Years'

The New Hampshire Journal podcast starts with a rant on politicians "fighting" instead of "fixing" from NHJournal Managing Editor Michael Graham. Then the real fun begins!
N.H. Speaker of the House Sherm Packard (R-Londonderry) offers a post-session analysis of the wins (and losses) for the Republican caucus. He calls this biennium "the most successful session Republicans have had in the past 100 years," but he also acknowledges it ended on a sour note with defeats on redistricting and the parental rights legislation.
And what role did Gov. Chris Sununu play in those setbacks? The word of the day: "disappointed."
The podcast wraps with an in-depth look at legislation Doug Kelly at American Edge calls an assault on U.S. tech leadership and a big win for China -- the American Choice and Innovation Online Act.
