With July in the rearview mirror, I wanted to take a moment to pause and reflect on everything we’ve been up to over these busy last few weeks. We kicked off the month celebrating a milestone – America’s 250th Anniversary – by marching in Fourth of July parades across the state. The rain held off, and the energy was fantastic in Amherst, Laconia, and Merrimack. Just a few days later, we were back in Laconia to open up our brand-new field office. Out on the trail, I’m constantly reminded of why this work matters and what’s at stake for Granite Staters: In Claremont I visited local first responders to talk about the critical resources, equipment, and staffing they need to keep our communities safe. I’m going to keep fighting to make sure they get every tool they deserve. In Belmont I spoke with residents about the ongoing housing crisis and how we can push back against corporate greed pricing Granite Staters out of their homes. I stopped by IBEW Local 104 in Epping to tour their new facility. I’ll always have the back of the union workers powering New Hampshire’s future. I also joined local advocates for a roundtable discussion about the work ahead to ensure our towns and cities are fully accessible to Granite Staters living with disabilities. Whether we’re hearing from working families in Hanover, sitting down with small business owners in New Durham, or organizing volunteers in Salem, one thing is for certain: Nobody is going to outwork this campaign. It’s powered by our incredible staff, our dedicated volunteers, and grassroots supporters like you who chip in what they can, whenever they can, to keep us moving forward. Thank you for your continued support. Please chip in whatever you can to help us keep our momentum going. Let’s finish this summer strong, Chris |
