To the editor:
Maggie Goodlander pretends to be a woman of the people but does not resemble the people she claims she wants to represent.
As she entered the race for NH's 2nd Congressional district she told the Boston Globe "I am a renter, and there should be more renters in Congress."
Yes, Maggie is renting in Nashua, so she can pretend she is not a carpetbagger in the district. She and her husband, Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser to Biden's White House, own a $2M waterfront home in Portsmouth.
The last time she voted in District 2 was 16 years ago, and even that was absentee. She is beginning her political climb signing a lease to pretend to reside where she does not. And pretending to be who she is not, as when we hear there should be more renters in Congress, no one is thinking there should be more multi-millionaire renters in Congress.
Maggie is worth at least $30 million and owns about three dozen properties, mostly inherited from her grandfather, a real estate mogul. This financial disclosure was wrung out of her reluctantly toward the end of the primary, after her first filing listed the value of almost all assets as "undetermined."
Considering she and her husband must routinely file financial disclosures for their DC jobs, and that her husband's 2023 filing listed amounts on assets she claimed she could not value, this seems indicative of a dishonest nature.
These misrepresentations make it difficult for me to believe her anticorporate power rhetoric, especially given her large campaign donors include corporate heavyweights Jeff Bezos, Mike Bloomberg, and, according to Van Ostern's campaign manager, "out of state dark money super-PACs." Maggie really wants this position. Do you really believe she continues deceiving us from the desire to serve OUR interests?
