State Rep. Jonathan Smith addresses Select Board during public input, promotes property-tax town hall
Summary
Jonathan Smith, who identified himself as the town's state representative, spoke during public input about constituent services, announced his re-election campaign and invited residents to a July 15 property tax town hall at 6 p.m. in the gym.
During the second public input period, Jonathan Smith identified himself as Ossipee's state representative of six years and announced he is on the ballot for the Sept. 7 Republican primary.
"I am Jonathan Smith. For those who don't know, I am your state representative for the last 6 years," he told the board and attendees and asked for support in the primary. He said his office helps constituents with state-level problems, including unemployment and well repairs, and emphasized he prefers direct casework to social media campaigning.
Smith also invited residents to a property tax town hall scheduled for July 15 at 6 p.m. in the gym, saying attendees will receive fact-based information about why school portions of property taxes are high. He provided his campaign website (jonathansmithnh.com) and contact methods for follow-up.
No board action resulted from his remarks; members asked a few clarifying questions and noted the event is not a town function but a privately organized town hall that the gym space will host.
