Dear Members of the Peterborough League of Women Voters,

We, the undersigned representatives of organizations supporting State Representative Jonah Wheeler (D-Peterborough), write to formally challenge the neutrality, integrity, and competence of your organization in its handling of the listening session held on March 25, 2025, at the Peterborough Town Library. As sponsors of this hybrid in-person and Zoom forum, you were tasked with fostering a community dialogue with Representative Wheeler and Representative Peter Leishman. Instead, your bias, inadequate preparation, and failure to ensure safety turned it into a chaotic ambush that silenced Wheeler’s voice, deepened divides, and betrayed public trust. We stand behind Rep. Wheeler’s balanced stance on House Bill 148—respecting transgender individuals while addressing women’s concerns about shared spaces—and expected a respectful, open discussion, not a circus.
