Republican Primary Candidate and former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld will be in Conway today. The less talked about Republican Primary has a number of candidates running across 43 states. The Republican Parties of 7 different states decided to cancel their votes and automatically appoint President Trump as their candidate. Weld will be at the Gibson Center for Senior Services for a lunch Meet and Greet from 11:15 until noon today. He’s considered to be a moderate Republican, especially on social issues. Weld previously ran for Vice President on the Libertarian Party ticket in 2016.

Mark Stewart is running for President in New Hampshire and three other states. He realizes that his odds aren’t realistic in that race, but he sees the forum as a chance to promote his message and to perhaps launch a campaign for a state office. He says the biggest issue he’s running to raise awareness on is the national debt. Stewart says, “What the White Mountain’s community organizations and towns could do with more money- they will do better with. What private people, if they can keep more money, do for the social communities around them- they will certainly do better with- than a big government in DC that doesn’t know what’s going on and even when it does, it is politically influenced so badly that it doesn’t effect policy very well.” Mark says he will be in the White Mountains area around January 9th and 10th.

Last October Magic 104 spoke with former Army Captain Ray Gilmore, who was involved with a project called, “Together With Veterans.” The plan was to address Veteran Suicide by building social support networks within New Hampshire communities. If successful, methods developed in this program will be used in preventing suicide with other demographics. Gilmore says that there’s progress since our October meeting.  Together With Veterans is planning on assessing the Berlin, Gorham area on January 10th before they begin to offer training for local residents in February. The plan is to start in more populated communities and then build connections into the more rural areas surrounding them. He also says the project has added retired Navy Commander Steven Wyrsch to their lineup. Ray says, “His experience as both a veteran and healthcare executive will be crucial in helping to establish some standard practices across the north country to tighten up the safety net in the community.”
