Brad Macrae
for Grafton 9
Local business owner fighting for real property tax relief—without new statewide taxes
Meet Brad
I'm a proud resident of Dorchester, a husband, an aspiring father, and small local business owner. My family runs a working farm that supplies fresh, local products to our neighbors, and I've built and operated multiple businesses in farming, agriculture, and health products that employ local people and keep dollars circulating right here in our communities.
For two decades I've been self-employed as an entrepreneur—waking up every morning knowing that my success depends on delivering real value, controlling costs, and making smart decisions with every dollar. That hands-on experience has given me a deep appreciation for what families and small businesses in Canaan, Dorchester, and Orange face every day: skyrocketing property taxes that threaten our ability to stay and thrive here.
This is my first foray into politics. I've served four years as a volunteer firefighter and first responder, so I know what it means to actually serve and look out for your community and neighbors. What drives me is simple: I refuse to stand by while Concord experiments with new taxes that would punish working families, professionals, and small businesses in our district.
Fighting For You
I was compelled to run after being badly set back by the enormous property tax increases our district saw last year. Many neighbors talked of having to forgo life necessities just to cover these taxes. We need real solutions, not more tax experiments.
Tax Relief Without New Taxes
Oppose any income, sales, or broad-based tax. Support voter-approved school tax caps every 2 years. Cut waste in Concord spending first—redirect efficiency savings to adequacy aid without raising local bills.
Education Excellence Through Choice
Expand Educational Freedom Accounts to every NH family. Support full open enrollment, evidence-based curriculum, and a Parental Bill of Rights. Choice and competition improve outcomes for everyone while holding costs down.
Economic Growth for Grafton County
Fewer regulations, support for energy and telecom infrastructure. Attract and retain high-skill jobs near Dartmouth Medical without tax experiments. Keep more of your paycheck here.
Liberty & Local Control
Strong Second Amendment support. Election integrity. Local control over schools, budgets, and planning. Live Free or Die means protecting your rights and keeping decisions in our towns, not Concord mandates.
A Neighbor Who Understands
I'm an avid outdoorsman who loves hunting, fishing, and exploring the woods and waters that make this part of New Hampshire so special. I'm passionate about supporting local producers, farmers, and businesses because I've seen firsthand how strong local economies create good jobs and keep our towns vibrant.
Many families commute to Dartmouth and Dartmouth Health while wanting to raise their kids and retire right here. We need policies that make that dream affordable again.
Real Experience, Real Solutions
I'm not a career politician, Concord insider, or DC creature. I'm a neighbor who balances budgets at home and in my businesses, is building a family here, and wants the next generation to be able to afford to stay in Canaan, Dorchester, and Orange.
If you want a representative who understands the real cost of government and will always put our pocketbooks, our schools, and our local way of life first, I ask for your support in November.
