Chairman's Corner
Chairman Bob Perry and other committee members were among those gathered at the steps of Dover City Hall on Friday, July 12, to share concerns for the welfare of those desperate souls who seek safety in America, but who are, instead, being met with mistreatment. Read Bob's account of the Lights for Liberty vigil.
New Hampshire may soon join a growing list of states condemning the early 19th century practice of rigging elections to favor the majority party's grip on power for the ten years following each national population census. Next census: 2020. Bob provides an update on key legislation that would create an independent redistricting commission.
On Thursday, May 30, the NH Senate voted 16 – 8 to override the governor’s veto, making NH the 21 st state to eliminate capital punishment. Bob provides analysis for understanding this historic event, made possible by Democrats.
Visit the Chairman's Corner for more insights from Bob on legislation and issues affecting our community, including laws intended to close campaign finance loopholes, gerrymandering that has affected elections right here in Strafford, and more.

Your Vote Counted!
Your Democratic vote in the historic midterm election made a difference! The Democratic majority in the US House, including our Congressman Chris Pappas, is working to keep Social Security from being privatized and help hold the line against a current law requiring deep cuts to Medicare programs. Democratic majorities in the New Hampshire House, State Senate, and Executive Council are providing an important check and balance, including protecting access to Medicaid and creating jobs. Thanks to everyone who helped during this critical election cycle. Now on to 2020! |
