Welcome to the NH Upper Valley Democrats website.
The UVDems of New Hampshire support the Democratic committees of the towns of Hanover, Lebanon, Lyme, and Orford, working together to elect Democrats up and down the ballot.
The Democratic committee town chairs sit on the board of the Upper Valley Dems and together run programs and outreach throughout the Upper Valley.
We educate, empower, and engage the Upper Valley electorate on local and state issues. To reach us, call or text 603-252-2542, or email uvdems@gmail.com.
We hold UVDem programs on the 4th Monday of every month, on diverse topics with mixed formats: panels, lectures, and film screenings.
We host our programs on Zoom until further notice.
Everyone is welcome, there is no political litmus test.
We hold monthly executive board meetings on the 1st Monday of the month. Executive Board meetings are open to the public. You can let your town chair know you are interested in being your town’s designee to the Executive Board if the chair is not able to attend Executive Board meetings.
Action Groups continue the political work outside of our monthly programming meetings, including writing Letters to the Editor to keep our candidates in the media, hosting visibility events to draw attention to the issues and our candidates, testifying before the state legislature when they are in session, and planning events. If you are interested in joining an Action Group, please email uvdems@gmail.com.
