He Builds Things.
He Shows Up.
Dallas Emery has spent decades building things in Ossipee — both literally and in town government. He's worked as a contractor for more than 30 years and still takes on projects when he can, alongside his full-time job in outside sales at a local lumberyard.
That hands-on background carries straight into his public service. Emery currently serves as an Ossipee selectman and chairs the zoning board. He spent four years on the budget committee, and he's been a regular presence at planning board meetings and nearly every county commissioner's meeting for years.
He's not new to this work, and he's not doing it for a title. He shows up because he cares about how Ossipee and Carroll County are run.
Dallas and his wife will celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary this year. He's running for the New Hampshire House in Carroll 5 because he believes local experience and steady involvement matter in Concord — not just at town meetings.

What He'll Fight For
In Concord
Four clear commitments, grounded in the same practical thinking that guides every budget line and zoning decision in Ossipee.
Lower Property Taxes
Dallas Emery will fight to lower property taxes by controlling spending, not by growing state government. He will oppose any broad-based sales or income tax, and push to cap the unfunded state mandates that force towns like Conway, Tamworth, and Eaton to raise property taxes to cover Concord's decisions. Every dollar Concord spends comes out of a Carroll County pocket, and he will hold the line on budgets at every level so the families and retirees who live here year-round can afford to stay in the homes they have worked for.
School Choice
Dallas Emery will vote to expand New Hampshire's Education Freedom Account program so families in Carroll County towns like Conway, Tamworth, and Ossipee can direct education dollars to the public, charter, or private school that works for their child. He will push to raise or eliminate the income eligibility caps on EFAs so middle-class families aren't shut out simply because both parents work. With property taxes already the primary funding source for local schools in Ossipee, he will fight against any funding scheme that forces taxpayers to pay twice—once through property taxes and again through new fees for the choice they already deserve.
Medical & Health Freedom
Dallas Emery will file legislation to permanently bar any NH employer, school, or state agency from mandating vaccines as a condition of employment or education, building on the medical freedom protections the legislature has debated in recent sessions. He will vote against any expansion of state authority over personal medical decisions, including parental rights to make treatment choices for their children in Carroll County schools and clinics. He will oppose telehealth and prescribing restrictions that make it harder for rural North Country residents to access doctors already stretched thin across the North Country.
No Tax on Social Security & an Elderly Tax Cap
Dallas Emery will introduce legislation to expand and standardize the elderly property tax exemption across Carroll County towns, capping annual increases so seniors on fixed incomes aren't taxed out of homes they've owned for decades. He will push to raise the income and asset thresholds for the existing elderly exemption program, which haven't kept pace with rising home values in towns like Conway and Tamworth. With no state income tax, New Hampshire seniors are hit hardest by property taxes, and Dallas will fight to keep Social Security and pension income fully shielded from any new state-level tax schemes.
Steady Hands. Straight Answers.
The habits that built a 30-year contracting career are the same ones Dallas brings to public service.
Show Up
Meetings, hearings, and votes — consistently and in person, the way he always has.
Hold the Line
Spending discipline at every level of government, from the town budget to the state's.
Practical First
Thirty years of building means solving the problem in front of you, not scoring points.
Stay Reachable
Neighbors should be able to pick up the phone and get a real answer from their rep.
