A Granite Eagle review of public records shows several senior staff previously held high-level roles in Democratic Party politics or progressive campaign operations. Those partisan roles do not appear in their official NHFPI biographies.

Public records confirm that taxpayer dollars have been used to bring NH Outright’s LGBQT+ training into multiple New Hampshire school districts. Documents show fees paid out to the organization for staff workshops.

“Published emails show Executive Councilor Karen Liot-Hill used her official office to help a partisan, Washington D.C. law firm recruit plaintiffs to sue New Hampshire over our voter-ID and absentee safeguards. That’s not public service; that’s political lawfare run out of a taxpayer-funded inbox,” Sweeney said.

New Hampshire’s Education Freedom Account program hit its enrollment cap of 10,000 students for the upcoming school year, the Children’s Scholarship Fund-NH confirmed this week.
