E28: Jon Kiper's Take on Ed Funding, Housing, AI's Impact in 2026, & NH's Media Landscape

Jon Kiper joined me recently on Substack Live for the first time since former Executive Councilor Cinde Warmington announced she would be running in the Democratic gubernatorial primary. With Portsmouth Mayor Deaglan McEachern (somewhat surprisingly) announcing he would not be seeking the nomination, it appears the field is set, with the 2nd- and 3rd-place finishers in the 2024 Democratic gubernatorial primary stepping up again in 2026.In this conversation, we discussed a lot of policy (education funding, the speed with which AI is impacting the economy, housing, property taxes, and much more) and some important political questions (How do you take on Kelly Ayotte? How do you address being an underdog against Warmington? How do Democrats start playing offense on taxes and ed funding? And how do you build awareness of your campaign at a time when legacy media continues to dry up in many towns and regions?)#nhpolitics #2026election #education #housing
