Thank you to Deputy Chief Elisa Folsom and Deputy Chief Mark Hebert for more than two decades of dedication to the Concord, NH Fire Department and to the people of our city. Your leadership, compassion, and commitment have shaped not only the department, but the culture of care and service that our community relies on every day.

I also want to extend a special thank you for your service on the Public Safety Advisory Board. Your insight, experience, and steady presence have been invaluable in helping us make thoughtful, informed decisions to keep safe.

The stories shared this week made clear what so many of us already know: this department is a family, and both of you have been at the heart of it. The respect you have for one another, and the way you’ve supported your colleagues over the years, is something truly special.

Wishing you both strength as you focus on your health, and joy in the time ahead with your families. Your impact on this city will be felt for years to come!

Two deputy chiefs of Concord Fire Department retire after battling cancer. Their friendship and dedication leave a lasting legacy.

It was an honor to help coordinate Ari and Daniel’s effort with Governor Ayotte to designate October 23 as Kabuki Syndrome Awareness Day in New Hampshire.

What makes this so meaningful is the friendship at the center of it. Ari’s letter to the Governor was all about his best friend Daniel and the joy they share. From playing on the same soccer team to laughing at Daniel’s knock knock jokes, their bond is genuine, supportive, and inspiring!

Ari said it best when he wrote that we are all different and that is what makes life great. This designation will help more people understand Kabuki syndrome and recognize the incredible individuals and families impacted by it.

Grateful to have played a small role in helping elevate their voices. Ari and Daniel are a powerful example of what friendship and advocacy can look like. 💚

“The goal, as written, is for the city to “remove barriers to commercial and residential development through regulatory and administrative reform,” language suggested directly by the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce

To At-large councilor Amanda Grady Sexton, that goal could be even more explicit.

“What that says to me is that we’re making it clear that the city’s job is to help businesses to comply and to succeed, not to create hurdles for them,” she said. “I’d love to take this a step further and maybe find language that says, ‘our goal as a city is very simple: If you want to open or expand the business, Concord should be the easiest place in New Hampshire to do it: clear rules, fast answers, and a city government that sees you as a partner.’”

Responsible monetary decisions. Clear and widely disseminated communication with the public, especially on the city’s finances and taxes. Helping people keep their homes and find new ones. Regulatory and cultural changes to make it easier for businesses and development, and investments in the road...
