Dear Editor:
I write in strong support of Mike Cryans for election to the Executive Council, District 2. Early on, I encouraged Mike to run for the office because he has the energy, enthusiasm and dedication to effectively represent all people in the District. Mike served with distinction when he was elected for a two year term in 2018. The NH Executive Council approves state contracts over $10,000, confirms State Commissioners and Directors and grants pardons. The Executive Council acts as a board of trustees for the state of New Hampshire. Born and a check on the Governor. Raised in Littleton, NH, Mike has worked for New Hampshire residents during his entire career – first as a teacher, later as a banker and up until a few years ago as an administrator of a social service agency. Mike served for 19 years as a member of the Grafton County Board of Commissioners.
Mike is a strong supporter of renewable energy projects. As Grafton County Commissioner, Mike supported a geothermal project for the new Grafton County Jail and a biomass project for the County. Together, these projects significantly reduced the County’s oil consumption.
When in office, Mike personally visited all 108 towns and four cities in his district and met with local officials and interested parties. Mike’s priority is constituent service and has assisted many people with unemployment compensation, disability claims, and state permitting issues. Mike will serve all the people of District 2, regardless of political affiliation. He knows the district well and is a good steward of the public trust. Recently, a long time State Representative said the following of Mike: “He (Mike) provided a strong and effective voice for the North Country and our area (Upper Valley), as we all know.”
