Knytych running on state spending

LACONIA- State Sen. Candidate Greg Knytych (R-Laconia) thinks the current budget deficit is his opponent's biggest weakness.

Knytych hopes to defeat freshman state Sen. Kathleen Sgambati (D-Tilton) on a message of budget restraint in the race for the district four state senate seat.

 "One of the biggest ones is the spending spree that the state went on; she was in full support of that," Knytych said when asked what is Sgambati's most vulnerable position.

The Laconia city councilor also said that voters are upset over parental notification law.

 "A lot of people are very upset about the deficit and budget issues" Knytych told PolitickerNH.com in an interview. "But a lot of people are also concerned about the social issues, especially dealing with parental rights and the repeal of the parental notification law."

Knytych is contacting voters throughout the district and is hoping to reach voters in the district's small towns.

"I'm targeting the whole district. There are some areas that have a stronger Republican base and in those I'm being very well received in but even in the smaller rural areas of the district I'm meeting with those people and the same is said for the larger areas."
