The race in the 1st Congressional District
Chris Pappas
Born and raised in Manchester, Chris Pappas is a small business owner.
After graduating from Harvard College in 2002, he returned to New Hampshire to help run his family’s more than 100-yearold business, the Puritan Backroom Restaurant, where he manages his restaurant’s day-to-day business and more than 230 employees.
Prior to serving in Congress, Chris represented District 4 on the New Hampshire Executive Council. When he was elected to the U.S. House in 2018, he became New Hampshire’s first openly gay member of Congress.
During his first term, Chis has sponsored legislation to support New Hampshire’s small businesses, improve access to affordable healthcare for Granite Staters, fight to get our veterans the benefits they have earned, combat the opioid epidemic and protect our drinking water.
Chris serves on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee where he chairs the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations and also serves on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
In his free time, Chris tries to run a few miles every day, spend time with family, and get in a spirited game of Scrabble.
Matt Mowers
Matt Mowers worked as a national field coordinator and battleground states director on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. He worked on Trump’s transition team before serving as a senior White House advisor and chief of staff and chief policy officer at the U.S. Department of State, and was executive director of the New Hampshire Republican Party.
As the senior White House advisor at the State Department, he advised and engaged on issues, including North Korea, immigration reform, defeating ISIS and ensuring religious freedom. Later he helped lead the $6 billion U.S. global HIV program, which has saved over 15 million lives and led to 2.6 million babies being born HIV-free.
He also spearheaded efforts to bring humanitarian assistance to the people suffering under the socialist regime in Venezuela, a country he lived in briefly during his childhood. He earned his degree from Rutgers University. Matt and his wife Cassie live in Bedford.
Covid-19
Q. Do you support current restrictions on businesses to prevent the spread of Covid-19? What else would you do? Do you support a mask mandate? What kind, and how it will be enforced?
Pappas: We must do everything we can to battle this virus – specifically listening to scientists and medical experts to create clear, comprehensive health guidelines for the public to slow the spread of the virus. We know that widespread mask usage and expanding our capacity for testing and contact tracing are essential pieces of our response. Where we continue to see community spread, a mask mandate would also be a reasonable step to take. We must also take reasonable steps to limit crowded gatherings, particularly indoors, and I support the current restrictions the governor has put in place to limit large gatherings.
Mowers: Governor Sununu has shown strong leadership during these uncertain times and has worked diligently to provide guidance that keeps us safe while also getting our economy going. I support continued efforts to open the economy in a way that ensures the health and safety of our communities.
At the federal level, we must continue to work with diagnostic and testing manufacturers to ramp up rapid testing capabilities, and then develop public-private partnerships with key supply chain companies to ensure our economy continues to grow while protecting the health of employees. Small businesses must also be given the same opportunities to function as large retail box stores — while we want everyone to remain healthy, government cannot pick winners and losers and determine which businesses are permitted to operate.
As someone who worked in public health, I do choose to wear a mask, but I do not support a national or statewide mask mandate.
Granite Staters and businesses are smart enough and responsible enough to take steps to protect themselves and others without a mandate.
Q. What kind of additional stimulus package do you support, especially for small businesses? And how would it differ from previous packages?
Pappas: I’ve been pushing for leaders on both sides of the aisle to come together to enact targeted Covid relief to provide needed help to our workers and small businesses. Any package must include additional funding for another round of Paycheck Protection Program loans. This support should be targeted to small businesses that continue to lose revenue.
I am leading the push in Congress to expand tax credits for small businesses to help prevent additional layoffs. I’m the author of a bill passed by the House that will enable businesses participating in PPP to also claim the Employee Retention Tax Credit — something that isn’t permitted under current tax law. In addition, I co-sponsored a bill to require SBA to establish a streamlined refinancing process for small businesses that received a PPP loan.
Mowers: We need to provide targeted relief for small businesses, especially those in industries disproportionately affected by shutdowns including restaurants, hospitality and seasonable businesses. Funding should be made available for state and local governments for expenditures related to Covid-19, including school districts that should also be reimbursed for expenditures for necessary equipment purchased to allow them to safely reopen schools. We should also make sure that any additional stimulus bills include incentives for companies to bring critical manufacturing back to the U.S. and measures to strengthen our PPE supply chain.
Q. Should businesses receive any special liability protection?
Pappas: Businesses everywhere are struggling. We need to ensure that they have the support they need to safely open and take prudent measures to keep their employees and customers safe. I believe small businesses that follow health guidelines should have a safe harbor during the pandemic.
Mowers: Businesses need enhanced liability protections to protect them from Covid-19 related lawsuits as they reopen. Fear of litigation is keeping businesses from reopening, putting people’s livelihoods at risk.
Labor and Employment
Q. What should the minimum wage be? Why?
Pappas: I support gradually raising the minimum wage to $15 dollars an hour, phased in over six years. The minimum wage hasn’t been raised in 10 years, and it’s important that it keeps pace with the cost of living.
Mowers: The federal minimum wage should remain at current levels while continuing to provide states the ability to make decisions in their best interests. Current proposals supported by the Democratic majority to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour or even higher will drastically raise costs for small businesses and ultimately lead them to hire fewer workers and create fewer jobs. It would ultimately lead to a negative impact on the economy, especially during this delicate time.
Q. Should federally enhanced unemployment benefits and expanded eligibility for benefits continue? For how much, how long and why?
Pappas: I’ve been working with my colleagues in Congress to make sure that folks who are out of work through no fault of their own are able to make ends meet during this extremely difficult time. I support finding a compromise on enhanced unemployment payments through January that would help Americans who are out of work due to the pandemic. These payments should then be reduced in line with improving economic conditions.
Mowers: Americans are ready to get back to work in a safe manner and environment, and that should continue to be encouraged. In part because of Governor Sununu’s leadership, our economy is moving again, and we need to keep it going. We are also compassionate for those who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic, and while we should provide assistance for those who remain unemployed, the government cannot continue to pay individuals more than they made when working full time or it will lead to economic stagnation.
Q. Do you support paid family and medical leave? To what level and in what form?
Pappas: As a small business owner, I know it’s important to invest in employees. The pandemic has shown us that workers shouldn’t have to choose between their paychecks and caring for family members. I supported a bipartisan parental leave provision for federal workers and also will support a federal paid family leave system.
Mowers: Working parents should be able to receive paid family and medical leave through their employer. Republicans in Congress have proposed a budget-neutral solution for paid family leave by allowing working parents to access benefits early. Unfortunately, progress on this issue has stalled because the Democratic majority is proposing a tax increase on businesses and workers instead.
Taxes
Q. Do you think that current state business tax rates or federal corporate rates remain the same, go up or go down during your term?
Pappas: I support comprehensive tax reform that offers relief to middle class families and Main Street businesses. We should amend the tax code to encourage innovation and incentivize companies to keep jobs here in America instead of outsourcing production overseas. In Congress I worked with Republicans to cut taxes that were contributing to the high cost of healthcare, and I’m now fighting to establish new tax credits to help Granite State small businesses keep workers on their payrolls and emerge from this economic crisis stronger than ever.
Mowers: I supported the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which cut taxes for small businesses and working families while also ensuring that America remains a beacon for job creation and investment. Currently, the Democratic majority in the House is proposing large and broad-based tax increases, even during the current pandemic — I will oppose those efforts and work to extend the tax cuts that have benefited the American people. New Hampshire especially benefits because of our already lowtax environment. I’m proud to stand with Gov. Chris Sununu as he protects the New Hampshire advantage.
Q. What other changes would you propose in other taxes that affect business?
Pappas: I introduced legislation to stop other states from forcing New Hampshire businesses to collect online sales taxes and worked across party lines to successfully repeal the health insurance tax, the medical device tax and the so-called “Cadillac” tax. In addition, I’ve led the push to suspend the truck excise tax, co-sponsored the JOBS Credit Act to expand tax credits for small businesses, and helped introduce the Multi-State Workers Tax Fairness Act to bar Massachusetts from unfairly charging New Hampshire residents an income tax while they work from home during this pandemic.
Mowers: In Congress, I will vote to make the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions permanent, which will benefit New Hampshire’s businesses and working families.
We have to keep our businesses competitive in the global economy by keeping tax rates low. Making the tax cuts permanent for middle-class families will allow them to keep more of their hard-earned money and use it as they see fit instead of handing it over to government bureaucrats. Especially during a pandemic and these uncertain economic times, we cannot even entertain raising taxes the way my opponent and the majority in Congress is currently proposing — this would cause catastrophic economic consequences.
Housing
Q. What would you do to increase the availability of workforce housing?
Pappas: A lack of affordable housing in New Hampshire has a huge impact on our economy. When housing prices are too high, it becomes much harder for young families to move to New Hampshire and makes it more and more difficult for businesses to attract workers to the state. The Moving Forward Act would invest $100 billion to construct and preserve 1.8 million affordable homes, including support for public housing capital repairs and strengthening the National Housing Trust Fund. It would also expand and improve the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program by incentivizing affordability and development in rural communities. This would help build affordable housing in communities all across our state, making it easier for businesses to attract new workers and supporting the development of our workforce.
Mowers: New Hampshire’s working families should be able to rent or own a safe and affordable home. That’s why I support extending tax cuts to put more money in their hands instead of giving it to government bureaucrats. We should also encourage local governments to encourage new housing construction in ways that fit with community needs and their environment. Bringing a new generation’s perspective on this issue is helpful, which helped push legislation on this matter in the New Hampshire House.
Infrastructure
Q. Tell us your plan to improve infrastructure and what should be the top priority: roads, rail, broadband, the grid or another concern?
Pappas: Our top priority should be passing a new five-year infrastructure package that gives New Hampshire its fair share of federal infrastructure funding and strengthens “Buy America” provisions. In Congress I led a bipartisan effort to stop the federal government from cutting $7.6 billion in highway funding — a move which would have cut funding for New Hampshire’s roads and bridges by $37 million.
I’ve also shaped a major infrastructure package as a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure committee which would deliver $1.3 billion to support New Hampshire’s infrastructure — a 30% increase over current funding. That will allow us to repair our roads and bridges, protect our water from PFAS contamination, expand commuter rail, expand rural broadband, invest in affordable housing and modernize our healthcare infrastructure.
Mowers: We have to improve all aspects of our infrastructure to keep our economy moving. The best way to do that is to invest in public-private partnerships to reduce the burden on taxpayers. During this time when many Granite Staters are working and learning from home, broadband access should be a top priority and federal resources should be available for this and to complete high priority infrastructure projects.
Healthcare
Q. What have you done and will you do to lower healthcare costs for businesses?
Pappas: I believe every American should have access to affordable health care. That’s why I worked to pass legislation to support our hospitals and community health centers, lower premium costs, and address the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs by bringing the big drug companies to the table to negotiate lower prices.
I have introduced and passed legislation in the House to protect coverage for substance use disorder and to make it easier for low-income seniors to get access to prescription drugs. These measures would lower healthcare costs across the board for all Granite Staters. I also voted to repeal the medical device tax, the health insurance tax and the so-called “Cadillac” tax, and all three of those changes were signed into law in 2019. The Cadillac tax on high-cost employer-sponsored health coverage in particular had an unfair impact on businesses, and I was glad to see it repealed.
Mowers: Healthcare costs for individuals, families and small businesses have skyrocketed as a result of burdensome Obamacare mandates. In Congress, I’ll work to replace Obamacare with a healthcare plan that covers preexisting conditions, lowers the cost of healthcare for working families and provides additional affordable healthcare options for small businesses and employers.
We also need price transparency to drive down healthcare costs, so patients know how much procedures and operations actually cost them and their insurer. Increasing the tax deductibility for Health Savings Accounts will also encourage investment into personal healthcare that will provide additional set-aside resources for individuals to use for routine healthcare costs or catastrophic events. No working person should be without affordable healthcare coverage, and neither should anyone who is unable to work.
Energy
Q. What specific measures would you support or oppose to lower the economic and environmental costs of energy?
Pappas: I believe that if New Hampshire wants to maintain and promote a competitive economy, then we need to adopt greener ways of doing business. I’ve been advocating for the U.S. to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 by co-sponsoring the 100% Clean Economy Act, and I am a strong supporter of developing New Hampshire’s renewable energy portfolio, including offshore wind and solar.
I’ve been fighting to expand incentives and tax credits, so that our state can continue to take part in the clean energy revolution that is underway. I’ve introduced legislation to bolster our nation’s renewable energy storage capabilities (a critical aspect of building a more resilient grid), reduce our carbon footprint and fully realize our nation’s renewable energy potential.
New Hampshire’s economy is largely driven by tourism thanks to our state’s natural beauty, and it’s important that we preserve our coastlines and natural lands from oil and gas exploitation.
Mowers: New Hampshire has some of the highest energy costs in the country. We need to invest in forms of energy that reduce costs for Granite Staters, including renewable sources like solar and natural gas.
We should absolutely prioritize protecting our environment, but solutions like the Green New Deal would damage our economy and cost taxpayers trillions of dollars.
We have to take a realistic approach to protecting our environment and reducing energy costs and that means encouraging investment in new energy technologies that will provide a pathway to sustainable and affordable energy for the region.
The race in the 2nd Congressional District
Annie Kuster
Ann McLane Kuster was first elected to the House of Representatives in November of 2012.
Prior to taking office, she served as a longtime community activist and adoption attorney. She played a key role in creating New Hampshire’s UNIQUE College Savings Program to help parents save for their children’s education, as well as the Medication Bridge Program to provide medicine to low-income families.
In Congress, she drafted her 2018 Jobs and Opportunity Agenda, a blueprint of legislative proposals to expand economic opportunity in New Hampshire by bolstering apprenticeship and vocational training programs, addressing the costs of higher education, investing in infrastructure, increasing affordable housing, and supporting working families with paid family leave and child care programs.
She graduated from Dartmouth College in 1978 as part of the college’s third class that included women students, and from Georgetown University Law Center in 1984.
Annie and her husband, Brad, an environmental lawyer, now live nearby in Hopkinton where they raised their two sons, Zach and Travis.
Steve Negron
Steve Negron is the 2020 Republican nominee for New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District. In 2018, he ran for the same seat. He is the founder, president and CEO of Integron LLC, a small minority, disadvantaged and veteran-owned company in Nashua.
He believes the following: “Washington cronies are leading us down a dangerous path, ignoring the rule of law and responsible for the real effects of trillions in debt, including the skyrocketing costs of healthcare. Just like you, I live with the effects of their politics every day. Beginning today we are building our future together!” Steve and his wife, Terry, currently reside in Nashua where they have lived for 29 years and raised their three children.
Covid-19
Q. Do you support current restrictions on businesses to prevent the spread of Covid-19? What else would you do? Do you support a mask mandate? What kind, and how it will be enforced?
Kuster: Across New Hampshire, Granite State businesses have come together to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 by requiring patrons to wear masks, encouraging outdoor restaurant seating and retail shopping, and taking additional measures to keep our state safe. These policies have been effective in New Hampshire and should remain in place until widespread vaccine distribution is available.
Negron: The current restrictions on businesses to prevent the spread of Covid-19 are a state issue. I am running for federal office but, if I were not running for federal office, I would not support the current restrictions. I believe they need to be lessened. While we know there is a universe which needs protection, I believe responsible business owners can and would protect those who wish to frequent their establishment, but at the same time keep their businesses afloat. I would allow the businesses to start the process to reopen sooner rather than later.
I do not support a mask mandate. I support people’s individual liberties. I trust in individuals being responsible to protect the vulnerable without a mandate.
Q. What kind of additional stimulus package do you support, especially for small business? And how would it differ from previous packages?
Kuster: We all know that not every small business has been able to make it, and too many business owners have unfortunately had to close their doors as a result of the economic downturn this year. That’s why I have called for extending funding and loan capacity for the Paycheck Protection Program, which has helped over 24,000 businesses in New Hampshire and steered more than $2.5 billion into our business community to keep operations afloat.
I was pleased to vote for the HEROES Act, which includes a number of provisions that would make it easier for businesses to have their loans forgiven and expands eligibility, so that more businesses can get the relief they need. In addition, I have supported extending unemployment benefits for Granite State workers who have lost their jobs as a result of the pandemic, because we know that workers are the lifeblood and backbone of our business community.
Negron: As a fiscal conservative, spending money is something I bristle at. I believe instead of additional stimulus money, let’s allow small businesses to reopen. However, if the economy has not yet been allowed to reopen, I would support small businesses’ access to loans at very favorable terms. I believe the initial stimulus package, targeted to helping small businesses, was right. given the prevailing economic circumstances.
Q. Should businesses receive any special liability protection?
Kuster: As Congress continues to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is critical that we strike a balance with respect to liability that deters frivolous and expensive lawsuits that have little merit while preserving the ability for Granite Staters who may have contracted COVID-19 from negligent actors to exercise their legal rights under the law.
Negron: I think they should protect certain businesses from Covid-19 related lawsuits. Further, these protections may help businesses defend lawsuits from employees, customers and vendors alleging exposure to Covid-19, but they should not shield employers from Covid-19-related discrimination, disability or leave-of-absence claims, or lawsuits alleging violations of wage and hour laws.
Labor and Employment
Q. What should the minimum wage be? Why?
Kuster: The federal minimum wage should be gradually increased to $15 per hour over a five-year span, and earlier this year I was proud to vote for the first time in a decade to boost the minimum wage for Granite State workers. New Hampshire is the only state in New England with the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, meaning that workers who earn this wage have suffered a 17% pay cut over the past decade due to inflation and higher living costs.
A recent study showed that one in four women are considering reducing their work hours or switching jobs because of Covid-19. We need to ensure that wages are high enough to bring people back or encourage them to stay in the labor force as we recover from the pandemic. We’ve seen some retailers like Target and Costco already increase their minimum wage to $15. Through job training and workforce development, we can make higher wages sustainable for employers.
Negron: The minimum wage is a legal minimum for workers. It means workers are guaranteed a certain hourly wage. The minimum wage was never intended to be a living wage but rather an entry-level wage with advancement to higher levels of wage earnings over time. The problem with mandating a minimum wage of $15 is it drives behaviors. Less people will get hired and the costs of mandating a $15 minimum wage will eventually be passed onto the consumer.
Q. Should federally enhanced unemployment benefits and expanded eligibility for benefits continue? For how much and how long and why?
Kuster: As our economy continues to recover, I have supported extending the emergency unemployment assistance that unfortunately expired on July 31 due to Senate Republican’s inability to pass legislation. This assistance helped unemployed Granite Staters pay for groceries, prescription medications, utility bills and so much more. Congress should advance a bipartisan compromise that extends this assistance through the end of the year to prevent a cascade of housing foreclosures, eviction notices and widespread hunger that we are already seeing at our local food banks.
Negron: No. The $600 weekly federal benefit should not be extended through Jan. 31, 2021. We need to begin to safely reopen our economy. Our goal should be to get America back to work while helping those who can’t in a more targeted and efficient way. The CBO said if enhanced unemployment benefits continued through January 2021, about five recipients out of six would receive benefits that exceed the weekly pay they could expect to earn from working. If additional unemployment benefits were given in a very targeted way, three to six months would be appropriate all the while trying to get those individuals off unemployment and back in the workforce.
Q. Do you support paid family and medical leave? To what level and in what form?
Kuster: The outset of the Covid-19 pandemic immediately exposed a weakness within America’s economy — the lack of paid sick leave for millions of American workers. I have supported expanding paid sick and parental leave to workers to ensure they can meet the needs of their families and remain at home when they fall ill. New Hampshire has a proud heritage of embracing hard work and rolling up our sleeves with grit and determination to get a job done. These efforts are only strengthened when we afford workers with the ability to spend time with newborn children and stay home from work when they are sick — particularly in the middle of a global pandemic.
Negron: No, I do not. The well-intentioned — but unfunded and unsustainable — Family and Medical Insurance Leave, a proposed entitlement program, cannot meet families’ unique needs. I would rather consider a flexible and accommodating policy instead of crowding out employerprovided family leave with a one-size-fitsall federal program.
Taxes
Q. Do you think that current state business tax rates or federal corporate rates remain the same, go up or go down during your term?
Kuster: I oppose raising taxes on working class Granite Staters, and have long advocated for a fairer tax code that supports working families and small businesses in New Hampshire. This means creating a tax system that supports investments in domestic manufacturing and job creation in the United States. I have also been a strong supporter of simplifying taxes for small businesses and working families and cutting red tape, so that it’s easier for everybody in New Hampshire to file their returns and collect a refund.
Negron: They certainly should not go up but, if tax rates go down, then commensurate spending must go down as well.
Q. What other changes would you propose in other taxes that affect business?
Kuster: Unfortunately, corporate loopholes and special interest deductions mean that the wealthiest corporations often don’t pay their fair share of taxes. This undermines our ability to pay for investments in infrastructure, rural broadband, veterans housing and so many other priorities. In Congress, I have introduced legislation that would create tax incentives to encourage companies to partner with education providers to develop workforce training programs for skills they need. These are the kind of policies we need to advance to level the playing field for small businesses, and in Congress I will keep fighting to ensure our tax system works for New Hampshire.
Negron: I would look at tax incentives for small businesses, such as tax incentives for hiring New Hampshire graduates as well as veterans.
Housing
Q. What would you do to increase the availability of workforce housing?
Kuster: One of the most pressing issues facing Granite State workers is access to affordable housing. The high cost of housing in New Hampshire is a deterrent to attracting the workforce we need to fill job openings and meet the demands of our 21st century economy. In Congress, I have supported legislation that would increase the number of Low Income Housing Tax Credits that our state would receive every year. Furthermore, I supported bipartisan passage of the CARES Act, which ensured that New Hampshire would receive over $70 million to expand access to affordable housing during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Negron: I would incentivize more builders like Jack Franks of Walpole, president of Avanru Development Group, who has shown the ability to provide affordable housing which are noted for its speed of construction, quality of work and the cost, as well as energy efficiency. These builders, with the right access to capital and incentives could provide this type of workforce housing because without housing, the economy won’t continue to grow.
Infrastructure
Q. Tell us your plan to improve infrastructure, and what should be the top priority: roads, rail, broadband, the grid or another concern?
Kuster: It only takes a car ride down the road after a rough winter for Granite Staters to know that our infrastructure is in desperate need of repair. I have been proud to support legislation that would make sweeping investments in rural infrastructure and boost the likelihood of expanding commuter rail up to New Hampshire from Boston. Our focus on infrastructure investments should focus on above-the-ground projects as well as underground projects like drinking water enhancements. Furthermore, comprehensive infrastructure upgrades must include the expansion of rural broadband and adequate cell service to support the demands of our 21st century economy.
Negron: The biggest concern, and it was exposed during the Covid-19 pandemic, is the access to high-speed internet. It was shown to be a serious lack of capability. With the expansion of telemeetings, telemedicine and distance learning, for all ages, broad-band is a necessity and must be addressed going forward.
Healthcare
Q. What have you done and will you do to lower healthcare costs for businesses?
Kuster: I was proud to help introduce legislation this Congress that would dramatically lower the cost of prescription drugs for Americans and seniors by allowing Medicare to negotiate the price of drugs with companies, creating significant savings for beneficiaries. This legislation also caps out-of-pocket costs for American families, which will create savings for both individuals and businesses that offer employer plans.
Furthermore, I have supported legislation that would create a Medicare buy-in option for every American who wishes to gain health coverage through the program. We know that the vast majority of people who use the Medicare program are happy with its service and I believe opening up enrollment to a larger segment of the population will offer an affordable, quality care option for people nearing retirement age in New Hampshire and across the country.
Negron: Healthcare costs is the single largest line item in a company’s budget. We need affordable and accessible healthcare for our employees. As a small business owner, I know the full effects of providing healthcare for my employees. Three things must happen: transparency in costs; reduce barriers to entry for more insurance carriers to come into the state; and innovation. Innovation breeds competition and competition lowers costs.
Energy
Q. What specific measures would you support or oppose to lower the economic and environmental costs of energy?
Kuster: This year, I released a Clean Energy Agenda which outlines a number of policies — most of them bipartisan — that I am advocating for in Congress to combat climate change and pave the pathway for a clean energy future. This agenda includes measures to adopt a clean energy standard which will ensure that our electric grid is powered by clean energy sources, to expanding the deployment of renewable energy and ushering in a new generation of clean transportation policies that will decarbonize our economy.
Negron: Energy costs in the state of New Hampshire are some of the highest in the nation. I fully support all forms of renewable energy. We must be judicious and prudent as to what energy sources could and should be used in New Hampshire.
