New Hampshire’s Republican candidate for US Senate, John E. Sununu, who has accepted Trump’s endorsement, refused to comment on what has been described as a “slush fund.”
Republican governor of New Hampshire Kelly Ayotte, who endorsed Trump in the 2024 election, also refused to comment.

This year’s New Hampshire Ice Cream Trail brochure has officially launched. The route of 69 different ice cream shops takes visitors from Dartmouth/Lake Sunapee to the Great North Woods and White Mountains to the Monadnock region, the Seacoast, and more.
The trail also comes with a challenge and a reward. If you print out the brochure, it comes with a 2026 Ice Cream Trail passport. If you visit a shop on the map, you can get a passport sticker.
“Once you have completed a visit to minimum 55 shops including a minimum of 2 from each region, mail your passport to the address on the entry form,” the brochure said. “Passport holders who complete this minimum will receive a complimentary t-shirt. Those who complete the entire trail will receive a complimentary t-shirt and Made in New Hampshire gift bag.”
The fully completed passports must be received by Oct. 18, 2026, in order to get the prizes. The winning prizes will be mailed in November.
Here’s a sample of ice cream shops you’ll find in each region:

People across New Hampshire are arguing about the same things: housing costs, taxes, schools, development, and whether anyone in Concord is actually listening.
So this week’s question is:
|
If you could ask any New Hampshire elected official one question, who would you speak with, and what would you ask?
|
Here’s what you’re saying:
“I would like to ask Americans if they would rather see Trump spending money on fixing our airports, traffic towers, roadways, and air and water quality instead of hate-filled wars, taking down other countries and governments, and grifting his way through his presidency while robbing Americans blind.” — Elaina Valzania
