McConkey, Umberger get leadership roles in the House


CONWAY — Two returning local state representatives will be part of the Republican leadership team in the House of Representatives over the next two years.
Rep. Mark McConkey of Freedom and Rep. Karen Umberger of Conway were prevailed in November after losing their seats two years ago.
Now, McConkey has been named vice chair of the powerful Public Works and Highways Committee, and Umberger will chair the House Finance Division II Committee, responsible for the budgets of Safety, Transportation, Education, Fish and Game, the N.H. Lottery, and Police Standards and Training.
“I’m delighted,” Umberger, who held the position from 2016-18, told the Sun.

Most reps to attend opening day; Buco will not


CONWAY — Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the New Hampshire House of Representatives is set to open its 2021 session in a parking lot at the University of New Hampshire on Wednesday at 10 a.m.
While many of the 400 House members plan to meet in a drive-in sort of format, several have shared concerns about meeting during the coronavirus pandemic and at least one representative from Carroll County will not be in attendance.
Rep. Tom Buco (D-Conway), the county’s longest-serving Democrat, said Tuesday he won’t be making the trek to Durham to begin his eighth term.
“I will not be attending the opening session due to health concerns,” Buco said by phone. “Attendance is going to require me to drive two hours in each direction, to begin with. That requires me to use high-risk public restrooms on the road. And the same thing when I get to the location. I mean sitting in the car for four hours in the session, that’s going to require me to use the high-risk portable toilets.”
