Gov. Ayotte and all elected Republicans need to admonish President Trump’s call for elected Democratic congresspeople to be killed. Political violence is NEVER okay and they must speak out against it.

NH’s housing crisis keeps escalating — rents up, wages flat, + too little new housing. The GOP shutdown cut SNAP and drove up health costs, making it even harder. We’re fighting for the Fair Chance Agenda: affordable housing, child care, lower energy costs, and mental health supports.

When Republicans say they’re for “cutting taxes,” they don’t mean yours. NH Republicans rejected $28 million in state aid that would have helped ease local property taxes. No property tax relief for you — courtesy of the NH GOP.

Because of Republicans in Congress, tens of thousands of Granite Staters just lost SNAP — $12M a month in food aid frozen. A $2M “fix” for mobile pantries is coming, but that’s only 15% of what NH families rely on. Check below for pickup times + share to help a neighbor.
