here’s the situation:

  Hi John, Here's the situation: Chris Sununu announced his retirement last summer and shifted the rating for NH-Gov from "Solid Republican" to "Toss Up." This is the single best opportunity for Democrats to FLIP a gubernatorial seat in 2024! Here's the problem: GOP extremist Kel…

This race is all about the people

  Hi John, it's Joyce! One of my favorite parts about running a campaign is connecting with people. I love to knock on doors, attend community events, and hear from Granite Staters about what’s on their mind. I'm in this race to serve the people who make New Hampshire great. If…

this race will be close

  Hi John, First, Kelly Ayotte brought in a record-setting fundraising haul – primarily from high-dollar, GOP mega-donor contributions. Then, the Cook Political Report rated this race a pure toss-up and public polling showed Joyce in a statistical tie against Ayotte.   Now, we'…

we need a champion for public education

  Hi John, The first time I ran for office was when I ran for the Manchester School Board. I ran because I wanted to give back to public schools and protect access to resources and funding. There are few institutions that have gifted my family and me more than the New Hampshire P…

it’s a leap year

  Hi John, I completely forgot it was a leap year until I looked and saw February 29th on my calendar. This is great news for the finance team. We have an extra day to raise the resources we need to elect Joyce! But even with an extra day in our back pocket, we are facing an uphi…

so grateful

  Hi John, Every month Team Joyce set goals in order to run the kind of robust grassroots campaign we need to secure a win in November. We knew last month’s goal was ambitious, but with Joyce’s opponent being as extreme as they come, we can’t leave anything to chance. Joyce is th…

I take running seriously

  Hi John, If you know one thing about me it’s that I take running seriously, whether that is running in the snow with my daughter, or running for office to stand up for our communities. So I hope you know that I don’t take running for governor lightly. I entered this race bec…

it means so much to me

  John, I was born and raised in Manchester. I grew up with the resilient, hard working people of our state and I know how deeply we care about our families and our communities in New Hampshire. This state has always been my home, and I’m committed to fighting for everyone else wh…

I’m being outraised

  John, I'm running for Governor because I know we can build a better future for the families, small businesses, students, and people of New Hampshire. I'm Democrats' best chance at taking back the Governor's office – but I'm being outraised by my anti-choice opponent, Kelly Ayot…

I can’t be bought

  John, I am proud to say that this is a people-powered campaign – and the numbers back this statement up. My average donation is just $32! That means that I am not funding my campaign through a couple of big checks from some wealthy special interests groups. My campaign is fuel…

Did you see this critical poll?

John – this recent poll shows me in a statistical dead heat with Kelly Ayotte: HELP US TAKE THE LEAD: RUSH $15 >> Here’s the deal:  → Election analysts rated this race a TOSS-UP and labeled it Democrats’ best chance to flip a gubernatorial seat in 2024  → The latest polls show I’m the only D…

  We have some bad news, John. Donald Trump just won the New Hampshire Republican Primary. Now more than ever, one thing is clear: We can’t let Republican extremism win in November. Trump promised to flip our state bright red when he launched his Presidential campaign here …

we knew it would be tough

  John, when we set an ambitious goal to raise $15,000 before polls close today – we knew it would be tough to make happen. But this grassroots team has REALLY stepped up. We are just $4,030 short of our $15,000 goal: In a swing state as closely contested as New Hampshire – w…

Hey John,Tomorrow is the New Hampshire Presidential Primary. And while you won't be voting on my race just yet, this primary will impact our campaign. Republicans will be flooding the airwaves and pouring millions of dollars into GOP campaigns – including my opponent's – to have a strong showing. So…

I'm running 🏃‍♀️

Hey John, it's Joyce! I love running. I run every morning I can, I ran for mayor (and won!), and now I'm running for governor. But I'm not just running for myself.  I'm running for every Granite Stater who would be denied abortion access if we let anti-choice Ayotte win. I'm running for our public s…

there's only a handful of swing states left, and New Hampshire is one of them

John, after Donald Trump's landslide victory on Monday, there's been a few takeaways:FIRST: Combating extremism is an urgent priority, and it's going to take all of our effort to stop it in its tracks. SECOND: New Hampshire is one of the few swing states left so flipping it blue will be a major win …

sorry

John: Sorry to reach out on a Sunday. I just got off the phone with my Finance Director, Katelyn, and we need just 32 more people to chip in by tomorrow in order to reach our goal.  When I set a goal to bring in 150 grassroots donations to kick off the New Year, it seemed ambitious.

John, have you seen this headline? Pundits across the country all agree – reproductive rights will be a key issue in this toss-up race. And my MAGA opponent, Kelly Ayotte, is a proven anti-choice extremist.    But last month's fundraising report shows that she's outraising us. Can you rush a contrib…

Donald Trump in New Hampshire

I have some bad news, John.  Today, Donald Trump is holding a rally here in New Hampshire.   Trump promised to flip our state bright red when he launched his Presidential campaign here earlier this year.

Tomorrow

John: Team Joyce here. Tomorrow, Donald Trump will be touching down in New Hampshire.  His presence, no matter how unwanted, will be a massive media affair. It could really fire up his base enough to send another Republican back to Concord.  We’re determined to show that Trump, Kelly Ayotte, and the…
