Ever wonder where those property taxes go? Around half usually go to education . . . and the rest goes to the county.

Monday, November 18 (third Monday!),  we predict you will be pleasantly surprised at what your tax dollar is accomplishing. All of our elected county officials will gather to report on their progress and take questions. They will be coming from near and very far so let’s get to know them, discover what they are doing every day for us and feed them well! Scroll down for more details.

Campaigns are heating up and the more you get out there and canvass, make calls, visit offices, the more you’ll be prepared to get our final presidential candidate elected in November 2020.

Remember, as of November 1, we will no longer list candidate-team house parties/meetings. If you have favorites or are interested in specific candidates, email the campaign field officers. Check the “candidate offices” listing on the right side of this website. We will continue, of course, to list the actual in-person candidate events.

Respect in the Political Arena with
2016 Sanders NH Campaign general counsel Andru Volinsky, and
2016 Clinton NH Campaign state director Mike Vlacich,
was a resounding success!

A huge thank you to the speakers!

You can watch the program in 4 parts
thanks to Bill Secord who videotaped it all.

Voting down ballot describes voting for offices listed below the most important—typically national—race on a ballot. In other words, these candidates sit at the bottom of the ballot.

On November 18 (the third Monday in November) we have invited our five elected County officials (pictured above) who sit at the bottom of the ballot, to share with us what they do exactly and why we need to vote down ballot in 2020.
