This New Year’s political resolution
We are thrilled to celebrate the victory of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, but we know there is still much to be done here in New Hampshire.
Republicans don’t just have the governor’s office again, they won majorities on the Executive Council and in the Senate and House. As a result, funding for public education, health care, protecting the environment, equal rights, reproductive freedom and more are all likely to be on the chopping block during this legislative session. Programs many of our Granite State and Upper Valley neighbors need to survive are in danger.
So we urge you to make your first New Year’s resolution right now: Commit to getting involved. Every Claremont resident registered to vote as a Democrat is invited to our virtual caucus on Jan. 7, from 7-8 p.m. (Email [email protected] for a link to the caucus.) Find out about your town’s Democratic committee at www.nhdp.org. These meetings are vital and they depend on citizen participation. Plan to attend yours. Let’s get to work.
