Nicholas Bridle was born and raised on Hampton Beach and never really left it behind. Troop 177, Winnacunnet class of 2002, then a degree in Criminal Justice and Emergency Management and a start to his career as a Probation/Parole Officer in North Carolina. Hampton called him home in 2015. Since then he's served on the Municipal Budget Committee, worked as an emergency dispatcher with the Derry Fire Department, led the NH Emergency Dispatchers Association as its President, and founded the Derry Firefighters Charitable Organization. He directs the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival and the Hampton Holiday Parade. Today he represents Hampton in the New Hampshire House, where he sits on the Resources, Recreation and Development Committee and works on fiscal discipline, local control, the tourism economy that keeps this town running, and support for the first responders he still works alongside. He is running for re-election to the New Hampshire House of Representatives, Rockingham District 29. Fifteen years of service, one principle: listen to your neighbors, do what's right, put Hampton families first.

W Kelly Properties was founded in 2001 and run out of Ocean Boulevard on Hampton Beach. Development and construction management, right in the middle of the town it serves. Warren came to it with three decades of business-building already behind him. He's founded companies across marine, retail, and events, and he's been putting deals together and getting projects finished since the early 1970s. Kelly Properties is what all that experience looks like applied to bricks and land. Ask anyone who's worked for him and you get the same answer. Whatever the task, it gets done, and it gets done right. We're grateful to have W Kelly Properties behind us.

Tobey & Merrill has been on High Street in Hampton since 1920. One hundred and six years, four generations, still family-owned and operated out of the same downtown they've always called home. Today they operate as a Davis & Towle Insurance Group agency. They write home, auto, business, and life, along with special event and vendor coverage, which anyone who has ever tried to pull a certificate of insurance together on short notice will appreciate. The pitch isn't complicated. They listen, they do the legwork, and they've got the relationships with carriers to actually find you the right policy instead of the easy one. A century in a town this size means something. It means generations of Hampton families have walked through that door and been treated right, and it means the Tobey & Merrill name shows up on just about every worthy cause in this community. We're proud to count them among our supporters.

Newburyport Bank is a community bank serving 62 communities across New Hampshire and Massachusetts, with a Hampton branch right on Lafayette Road. They do the full range — checking and savings, CDs and IRAs, mortgages and personal loans, business checking, commercial lending, treasury management, and government banking. But what stands out is the Newburyport Bank Charitable Foundation, which has awarded $1.6 million to local organizations and served 562 of them, focusing on affordable housing, food insecurity, financial literacy, health and wellness, and veteran support. Their people logged 8,162 volunteer hours in 2025 alone. That's not a marketing line. That's a bank that understands its balance sheet and its community are the same thing. We're proud to have them with us.

Danielle Nonamaker is an Edward Jones financial advisor with an office on Lafayette Road in Hampton. She holds the CFP® and AAMS® designations, came to this work from the education industry, and it shows — her whole approach is built on making people feel clear and confident rather than talked over. She works with entrepreneurs and business owners, women investors, families thinking about retirement, people navigating the loss of a spouse or a divorce, and clients planning across generations. Her branch office administrator, Jackie Beaupre, is her partner in the practice. You've probably already run into Danielle and Jackie out in the community. The Gather women's conference, Hampton Rotary, the soup kitchen, food drives, Chamber events, Alzheimer's walks. They show up. We're grateful to have them with us.

Parsons Electric has been wiring the Seacoast for seventy years. Leon Roy Parsons founded the company in the 1950s, his son Norm and grandson Jim built it up from there, and today Andrew Smith and Ian Lewton carry the business forward from their shop on High Street in Hampton. The work runs the full range. A single light switch or a complete rewire of a historic home. New construction, generator installs, smart-home systems, panel upgrades, landscape lighting. On the commercial side it's LED retrofits, data and cable, dedicated circuits, code compliance, and on-call maintenance for businesses that can't afford to go dark. Three generations in, the reputation is the same one they started with: top quality, honest value, and electricians who know what they're doing. We're proud to have a Hampton business like Parsons Electric behind us.

Youngclaus & Company has been serving the greater Seacoast from North Hampton since 1976. Fifty years of certified public accountants who know this community, its businesses, and the people trying to build something here. They're a full-service firm working with individuals, businesses, and non-profit agencies. Tax planning and preparation, financial statement work, bookkeeping and payroll, federal and state audit representation, and business consulting that runs from start-up structure through valuation and cash flow analysis. Their team holds to AICPA quality standards and submits its own procedures to independent outside review, which tells you how seriously they take the work. Founding partner William C. Youngclaus put the philosophy plainly: the highest level of knowledge and professional service, delivered efficiently and on time. Fifty years later that's still the standard. We're glad to have them with us.

Taylor Lobster Company is a family owned and operated seafood business in Kittery, Maine, where four generations have now harvested and distributed Maine lobster. What started as a family trade has grown into an operation that serves customers three ways: across the counter at their retail market on Route 236, across town through daily deliveries to restaurants throughout Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, and across the world through wholesale distribution. Their Kittery market carries far more than lobster. Oysters, steamers, scallops, salmon, haddock, cod, halibut, swordfish, mussels, chowder, crab cakes, and fresh picked lobster meat all come through the door fresh. Give them an hour's notice and they'll cook your lobsters for you. Four generations in, the Taylor family's commitment to the lobster industry is the reason their name means something on the Seacoast. We're grateful to have them with us.

The Galley Hatch has been a Hampton institution since 1970 — family owned and operated for more than half a century, right on Lafayette Road. Three dining rooms, a Tap Room, and a Lower Deck seat over 400 guests, and the place has that unmistakable New England feel: skylights, a fireplace, wooden booths, big round tables made for gathering, and a couple of fire pits for good measure. The menu is traditional American with an emphasis on fresh New England seafood and seasonal flavors, served at lunch and dinner every day. They also handle private dining and events, with a team that walks you through room and menu selection to get the details right. Next door, Kay's Cafe and Bakery does fast-casual breakfast, cakes, pastries, and gifts, stocked daily from their sister restaurant Popovers on the Square. Fifty-plus years in one town doesn't happen by accident. It happens when generations of families keep coming back. We're grateful to have the Galley Hatch with us.
