In his weekly State House Dome column for the New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper, Kevin Landrigan reports:
For nearly three decades, supporters of Right to Work have been unable to produce a working majority in the House of Representatives.
The state Senate has passed legislation a dozen times to have New Hampshire join the 28 states where it’s illegal for a union to compel employees to pay dues as a condition of employment.
In 2021, the House voted 199-175 against the bill, with roughly 20 Republicans joining all Democrats in opposition.
Nearly 10 of those anti-Right-to-Work Republicans aren’t running again, including prominent GOP figures Baldasaro and David Welch, R-Kingston.
The National Right to Work Committee has been hard at work trying to recruit candidates to run in GOP primaries against their House foes.
One of those targets is Rep. John Klose, R-Epsom, who faces a pretty stiff challenge from former Rep. Dan McGuire, R-Epsom, who has strong ties to right-of-center groups in the state."
