As a proud New Hampshirite and U.S. military veteran, and I've always believed that our state government should work for us — not for foreign powers with agendas that run counter to American interests. SB528 is common sense. When lobbyists hired by adversarial governments like China are allowed to operate in our State House, they aren't representing New Hampshire citizens — they're representing interests that actively seek to undermine our political and economic systems both at the state and federal levels. We've already seen what foreign involvement looks like up close, with Chinese-linked interests in the Nashua water bottling facility and Daniel Webster College. That's enough. Texas and Louisiana have already taken this step, and it's time New Hampshire did too. This bill doesn't ban legitimate debate or free speech — it simply says that our legislators' attention shouldn't be for sale to foreign adversaries. I'm asking the Senate to pass SB528 and keep New Hampshire's government in the hands of its own people and serving the state's citizens. — Concerned New Hampshire Resident and U.S. military veteran
