Speaker 1 (00:08):
Good morning, This is Hampshire today.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I am Chris Ryan, a PRICI joining us for the
show with us right now on the HRC.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
You're in neighboring Credit Union guest line.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Democratic candidate for Governor Cindy Warmington will make it official
today as she is appearing to be set to take
on Governor Aots in the general election in November.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Good morning at Councilor Warmington.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Good morning, Chris, pleasure to be with you.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Joining us for the show.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
So what do you think about today as you make
this official at the State House.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I think today is a great day, a big step
in moving us towards a more affordable New Hampshire. We
have a lot of momentum. We've been making our way
across the state and I can't even tell you the
response that we're getting on the trail, not just from Democrats,
but people all across the political spectrum, really ready for
(01:02):
a new direction, ready for a new governor, and I'm
focused on running that race against Kelly Ao.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Let's speak specifically on affordability in two areas we touched
upon yesterday that I feel haven't really been dealt with
sufficiently in Governor Aot's first term. One is on housing,
where it does not feel that there has been a
lot done to make housing more affordable in New Hampshire
to perhaps put pressure on municipalities and towns to allow
(01:32):
for more projects. What would you do specifically in order
to create more affordable housing.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Well, you're absolutely right, Chris, that Kelly AI has completely
failed the state of New Hampshire on this really critical issue.
I mean, the lack of housing is what is driving
our young people out of the state, It drives the
unhoused population up, and of course it makes it hard
for businesses to hire people. We need to be one
(02:02):
hundred percent focused on this. And one thing the listeners
may not know that there is currently nobody in state
government who is responsible for knowing how many housing units
we have, how many we need, and designing the plan
to get there. So let's start with that that even
hasn't been done the very very basics and moving us
(02:25):
towards addressing this housing crisis.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
We need to do that right away.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I want to look at a couple of other areas
when it comes to affordability, and one is energy and
past proposals that you have supported would, according to some studies,
increase the cost of energy in New Hampshire with a
focus more on renewables as compared to fossil fuels and
(02:50):
existing energy sources.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
What do you say to that, I say, the cheapest.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Megawat of energy you have is the one that you
don't use energy efficiency. We're not investing enough in energy efficiency.
We're not investing in renewable energy, which actually the least
expensive sources of energy right now is solar energy. And
we have businesses and individuals clamoring for that all across
our state. It would bring great jobs into the state,
(03:17):
both involved in manufacturing but also in the installation and
the maintenance of solar panels and facilities. We have businesses
that really want this that are being blocked by conquered
And once again Kelly Ayot has sailed the people of
New Hampshire. Electric rates are up fifteen percent on her
watch and she has no plan to address the real issues.
(03:41):
And I got to tell you, the wind blows, the
sun shines, whether or not the strait of horm moves
is closed. We need to get busy investing in energy
efficiency and clean renewable energy and energy energy efficiency jobs
in our state.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Would you support, though any sort of carbon taxes or
any sort of a tax on the current energy infrastructure
outside of what we currently have.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I think what we need to do is be focused
on bringing clean energy jobs to our state and focusing
on investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency all across
our state. We're talking to businesses. I've talked to a
business that has one megawat of solar energy. They really
need five and they could be off the grid, and
(04:31):
have told me that they would actually are thinking of
relocating and locating their plant in another state the next
time that they locate a plant because of the energy
costs in the state and the failure of our state
to allow businesses to grow in the way they want
to grow and use the kinds of energy sources that
are cleaned, that are good for our environment, and that
(04:52):
bring good jobs to our state.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
At is Cindy Warmington, Democratic candidate for governor joining us
on the HRC your neighbored Credit Union guest on The
other item that I want to talk about is taxes,
And you know, we have seen property taxes go up
in a pretty significant way many municipalities across the state.
The sentiment generally with Democratic candidates is that there'll be
increases in spending and therefore increases in taxes. And you're
(05:18):
just discussing, you know, investment, there will there be an
overall increase in taxes if you are elected governor, And
in what ways would you go about trying to keep
taxes down or minimize spending an investment while being cognizant
of taxpayers.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, we're going to put forth a budget that focuses
on the working people of the state. Every decision that
we make in this state should be seen through the
lens of the working family, not big corporate interests. And
we have seen that Kelly AA has completely failed the
state on property taxes. They are through the roof. They
are through the roof because of things like her education
(05:59):
vouchers scheme that just simply is a pickpocket scheme, taking
money out of the pockets of working people and handing
it to the richest people in our state and driving
up everybody's property taxes. We need to tackle that problem.
Then we need to stop downshifting to our cities and towns.
And Kelly aots solution to this is just to point
(06:21):
the finger of blame at the cities and towns for
her excessive spending. For the spending that she imposes on
the cities and towns, it's really a failure, a complete
failure of management from Kelly Aot's office. We need to
tackle this problem of property taxes and we need to
do it now.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
One thing that you and Governor a I agree upon
is not wanting to see data centers and increase of
data centers in New Hampshire. In fact, you recently called
for a data center moratorium until guardrails are put in
place to protect communities. Why is this important issue, Well, I.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Mean, the last thing that we need in our state
is these colossal data centers with no guardrails on them.
They have been shown around the country to drive up
electricity costs, to contaminate and use massive amounts of water,
and they also create noise pollution that travels for many,
(07:24):
many miles around the facility. And we need to make
sure that we have appropriate guardrails around these data centers
and see if they belong in our state at all,
and if so, where is the appropriate place. And you
say that Kelly Aot and I agree on this, well,
Kelly Aot says the right words, but Kelly Aot doesn't
(07:44):
do the right things. I've called for a moratorium. She
actually had the opportunity to provide leadership on this in
this legislative session. There were multiple bills that would have
put guardrails around data centers in our state, and none
of them got through. We need real leadership on this issue.
And I have to say, I think that what I
hear out there, and I think it's totally legitimate, is
(08:06):
that AI is going to revolutionize our world, and it's
going to change the way we operate in the world
and way goods and services are delivered. There's a lot
of uncertainty around this, and we're going to need a
governor in the corner office who's watching out for workers
as we move forward in this AI revolution.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Counselor Warmington has always appreciate your time.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
OSA again soon, thank you, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
That is it Cindy Warmington joining us on the HRCU
your Naghbor Credit Union guest line. Today she files for
governor and makes it official. She is expected to be
the Democratic nominee and go up against Governor Aots in
November's general election.

It's part of the roadmap for peace from President Trump
in theory, you've been pretty close to siding a pay
We've actually gotten along with him very well, describing the
current negotiations of those people the White House says are
running the Islamic Republican Now, the President seems to be
in favor of sticking with the ceasefire that has been
tested in recent days, and I'd say that part of
the world ceasefires when you're shooting in a more modern
(09:17):
eventor the administration we're going to shift down the use
of military force.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
US official to say the president is not considering resuming
an all out war with the regime unless American troops
are killed. The reluctance reportedly signaling the President may be
willing to tolerate flare ups for weeks in order to
avoid a bigger conflict in the region as he tries
to secure a deal. But in a rare rebuke of
the president, a handful of Republicans joined Democrats Wednesday to
(09:42):
sharply carb his powers on Iran. The resolution is largely symbolic,
but it does increase pressure on the president to end
the war.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Box is Medal rivera from Washington. There is another ceasefire
in place between Israel and the tur group has blogged,
but the Israelis are still in Lebanon for now.
