Sen. Tim McGough: Quick Review and Thoughts for the Rest of 2025
Posted on by Tom Novak

We had a wonderful visit from NH State Senator Tim McGough (pronounced ‘Mug-you’) while we were broadcasting from Mary Ann’s Diner in Amherst.

The interview started with two incredible gifts from the Senator, a jar of his homemade pickled garlic (which is delicious) and his very special challenge coin (which comes with a great story).

We had a chance to discuss the first half of 2025 and some general thoughts about what the focus will be for the remainder of the year. The Senator also talked about his district and the unique aspects of  District 11 (Amherst, Merrimack, Milford, and Wilton).

Note from Jeff Chidester: This was one of my favorite interviews this year. Senator McGough was knowledgeable, funny, and incredibly gracious. District 11 and NH are blessed to have him as their Senator.
