Mayoral Candidate Was Accused of Seeking Defunding of West High STEAM Program
MANCHESTER, NH — Richard H. Girard denied the charge made by Manchester Ward 11 School Board Committee Member Katie Desrochers that he had asked Dyn CEO Jeremy Hitchcock to withdraw its funding of West High School’s STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) program. First elected to the Board of the School Committee (BOSC) as an at-large member in November 2015, Girard has consistently played a gadfly during his short tenure on the BOSC, publicly praising himself on his own Girard at Large radio program for his tough questioning of Manchester School District (MSD) Superintendent Dr. Debra Livingston.

Queen City Politician Blamed Peccadillo on His “Nemesis” — OPINION
MANCHESTER, NH — Rich Girard is apparently a better Christian due to his attempt to seduce a female fan via Facebook’s private messaging function, and the sexting scandal that engulfed the conservative talk show host last week is really not a scandal at all. It’s all Joe Kelly Levasseur’s fault.
This seems to be the attitude of the New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper in its coverage of this stinky hot mess. Why, if nobody talked about this, nobody would get hurt. …

OPINION
MANCHESTER, NH — A seven-year old sex scandal in which Richard H. Girard, a married man, tried to inveigle a single woman into having sex with him, likely will become an issue during the 2021 mayoral campaign.

“In a state where the head of the Republican Party of the state’s largest city, a woman, defends her predecessor as City GOP Chair for his remarks widely interpreted as quote unquote Women are Lazy in a political battle over gender pay equity….”
Imagine you’re a woman working for a major financial services company. It is not so long after the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, when liberals and feminists who had skewered Republican Senator Bob Packwood earlier in the decade turned a blind eye to the pervasive atmosphere of sexual harassment engendered in the White House by a man whose wife didn’t…
