Holiday Brunch - December 2
Time for some fun. Please join us for a festive holiday brunch at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, December 2, at the home of Elizabeth Callahan and Dan Howard (194 Old Ridge Road, Strafford). Bring a dish to share, and enjoy meeting fellow Democrats in Strafford.
RSVP by using the online form, or email ecallahan30@gmail.com. Whether you are a regular committee member or an occasional helper, the brunch is a great chance to socialize in an informal setting. Because of the holiday gathering, there will not be a regular committee meeting in December. |

Your Vote Counted!
Your Democratic vote in the historic midterm election made a difference! The new Democratic majority in the US House, including our new Congressman-elect Chris Pappas, will work 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 will provide an important check and balance, including protecting access to Medicaid. We can count on them to look out for working families and create jobs. A big thanks to everyone who helped during this critical election cycle. Most of all, thank you for voting! And special thanks to those who braved the rain and raw temperatures to stand at the polls on election day to cheer on Team Blue! |

Good Work, Max
We enjoyed working with our local Field Organizer Max Eberstadt-Beattie as part of the New Hampshire Democratic Party's Combined Campaign effort this fall. Here he is with (from left) Shirley Brownell, Chairman Bob Perry, Max, Carol Perry, and Rollande Merz at our meeting at the Hill Library in October 2018. Max's enthusiasm - along with many dedicated volunteers on the ground - contributed to the record turnout in the midterm election in New Hampshire. Now it's on to 2020! |
