New Hampshire lawmaker who opposes government aid picked to distribute virus funds

By Josh Israel -April 16, 2020 5:48 PM

State Rep. Ken Weyler once urged lower-income women to just 'swap childcare.'

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu appointed a controversial panel last week to help oversee the distribution of more than $1 billion in federal COVID-19 response funds.

One of those appointees is a state lawmaker with a long history of anti-welfare, anti-mental health, and anti-Muslim comments.

Sununu, a Republican, named eight legislators, evenly split between the two parties, to be his "Legislative Advisory Board" for the Governor's Office for Emergency Relief and Recovery. The office will distribute COVID-19 aid and stimulus funds from the federal government.

Ken Weyler, ranking member on the Legislature's House Finance Committee, was one of his eight picks for the panel.
