Re-Elect
Bill Boyd
For Merrimack
State Representative
Focused on the Four Villages and One Merrimack​
As your Town Councilor for the past 10 years, I have listened to all Merrimack citizens with courtesy and respect. I have worked diligently to put the people's concerns and the community's needs first for Merrimack. With a proven, common-sense track record of problem-solving and community-building for Merrimack, I will bring those same values to Concord in support of Merrimack, and be a true bipartisan leader for Merrimack in our state government. -Bill
"Bill Boyd has my enthusiastic support for State Representative. He’s delivered for the people of Merrimack as a Town Councilor. As a member of the NH Drinking Water and Ground Water Advisory Commission, Bill is a leader in protecting public drinking water in Merrimack. No one will work harder than Bill to save our New Hampshire Advantage and he is against a sales and income tax. The families and businesses of Merrimack will be well served by Bill Boyd working for them in the State House, and I urge all to vote for Bill."
-Governor Chris Sununu

Philosophy
When I first ran for the Town Council in 2011, I personally felt that our growing community was changing, but how our community changed would be the question. Consequently, I focused on the "quality of life" issues ensuring that Merrimack remains the best place in New Hampshire to live, work, raise a family and retire: a stable tax rate, strong property values, quality economic development and responsible budgeting that balanced taxpayer concerns while addressing community needs. As your Town Councilor, I have worked publicly and privately on a variety of issues impacting Merrimack while ensuring our community has had the best quality of life possible. In this process, I have learned that the things people can accomplish when we are not worried about who gets credit are limitless. This philosophy will ensure Merrimack's voice is continually heard in Concord.
