📰 News we're reading

• Open enrollment bill's future uncertain after GOP split (vnews.com) — Londonderry Rep. Kristine Perez helped derail a universal open enrollment bill, saying she couldn’t back a plan that might harm students in other districts. Her vote, shared by 20 other Republicans, has thrown the future of this major school-choice proposal into doubt and even cost her membership in the House Freedom Caucus.    

• The state Senate is slowing down on its role in campus carry, opting instead to 'study' the proposal. (newenglandnewspress.com) — Londonderry’s own Senate President Sharon Carson has proposed scaling back a controversial “campus carry” bill so lawmakers first study whether allowing guns on New Hampshire college campuses is feasible. Her amendment would immediately protect the right to carry nonlethal self-defense tools like Tasers and mace, while a new study committee weighs safety, costs, and public feedback before any broader firearms change.    

• Local Golf: SNHU men have the talent to shine in NCAA regional (unionleader.com) — A Southern New Hampshire University golfer from Londonderry is part of a deep, New Hampshire-heavy roster heading to the NCAA Atlantic/East Regional in Pennsylvania next week, aiming for a top-three finish and a nationals berth. The piece also highlights other Granite State pros and lists a full slate of 2026 regional golf tournaments, many within easy driving distance for local players and fans.
