We have a structural affordability gap, a growing disconnect btw what it costs to live here & what families actually earn. Young Granite Staters today aren’t less motivated than their parents. They’re just facing a different economic reality. #nhpolitics

What a fun family trip to Florida! The girls loved the warm weather escape, and Mom & Dad loved the ease of flying @JetBlue (our favorite airline) from @flymanchester (our favorite airport). Our oldest is already asking when we can leave again. 😂
