Supporting Mental Health Improves Safety For All

October 31, 2023

Salem, NH - Following the release of Joyce Craig's plan to restrict Granite Staters' access to self-defense and undermine the Second Amendment, Chuck Morse, candidate for New Hampshire Governor, released the following statement:

"Progressive democrats have the same knee-jerk reaction to everything: Create more laws to take away the rights of law-abiding citizens.

"While the tragedy in Maine is still under review, it appears to result from a breakdown in the mental health safety net. It's imperative that we not only maintain the existing laws but also ensure they are properly enforced. To prevent such devastating incidents in the future, our primary focus must be on ensuring people receive the mental health care they need.

"As Senate President, I prioritized finding solutions to this issue for our Granite State. Under my leadership, we not only expanded resources but also established an entire hospital dedicated to addressing this crisis. It's critical that we continue to lead in mental health care access here in New Hampshire. As Governor, I'll ensure it remains a top priority."
