Preserving the Environment and
Heritage of New Hampshire
Getting to Know Mike
Dear Friend,

When I ran for State Representative my agenda
was to work on energy and environmental
issues, encourage small business, and protect
New Hampshire citizens from the predatory
practices of payday loan lenders.  

Over the past two years we have made great
strides in these areas, but there is much more
to do.   

I am running for State Senate, because our
district needs new, more responsive
leadership.

As a small business owner, I know the
challenges that owners face.  Working in and
around the developing renewable energy and
engineering fields, I understand what it takes to
develop and market new products.  

My experience as a small business owner in
the energy and science sectors and my
record as a State Representative
demonstrate that I can be the voice Senate
District 9 deserves.

During my time in the State House I have
authored and worked on critical pieces of
legislation for environment and the working
families of our state.  

I authored and was able push through
legislation expanding net metering; I also
sponsored a bill to allow residential customers
to a rebate for putting renewable energy
generation on their homes.  While I was
working on these bills and others to help
protect our state’s most precious resource, the
District 9 Senator continued to vote against bills
with broad bipartisan support that will protect
our environment and lower energy costs to rate
payers.  She was one of only 8 Senators to
vote against the Regional Green House Gas
Initiative.

Not only has our current Senator failed to vote
for bipartisan legislation mattering most to the
families of our State, but she did not sponsor a
single bill that made it out of the senate.

Our State deserves forward thinking
Senators who will fight for what means most
to the working families of New Hampshire,
and our current Senator has failed to take up
that fight.

In the past two years, I worked hard and
accomplished more than many long-time
members of the House and Senate. I hope to
bring this same energy (no pun intended!) to
the New Hampshire Senate district 9,
representing Bedford, Merrimack, New Boston,
Mont Vernon, Lyndeborough, and Greenfield.
To bring responsive and progressive
leadership to Concord I need your help.  
Please write a check today for $1000, $250,
$100 or as much as you can afford to Friends
of Mike Kaelin.  

Or call to find out how you can help this
campaign by hosting a house party, putting up
a yard sign, or writing letters to the editor.

Thank you for your help!  Together we can bring
the voice of the people of District 9 to Concord!

Sincerely,

Representative Mike Kaelin
Our district is one of the most beautiful in the state, I
want to ensure that the environment and heritage of
New Hampshire is preserved for our children and future
generations. The family farm and small towns are an
important part of my personal history and an important
part of New Hampshire. Protection of the family farm
and of our historical perspectives are crucial and while
New Hampshire's laws are some of the best, we want
to make sure they anticipate the dangers of the future.

I grew up on a family farm in Kentucky. In the Midwest,
most family farms have been consolidated into huge
agribusiness conglomerates. New Hampshire’s hilly
terrain, unique climate, and its people’s love of small
towns has kept the conglomerates away, but family
farms are under extreme pressure. Preservation of land
and the rural lifestyle is important to New Hampshire
residents.

I believe that preservation of our heritage is compatible
with progress and economic growth and, when elected,
I intend to do everything I can to make to protect what
we have.
