Chairman's Corner
Chair Elizabeth Callahan extends a warm welcome to all Democrats and Independents in Strafford. In July, we're asking you to support the committee's work by buying a chance in our summer raffle. We've got some great prizes (thanks to our generous donors!), and proceeds will fund our outreach for Democratic candidates next year.
We also hope to see you at our free Family Fun Day on August 2, from 2-4 PM at the Waldron Store. We'll have games, fun, and an entertaining show by magician Wayne Moulton. Spread the word to any young families you know. But everyone should come - this will be a great get-together for all of us. Thanks to all the committee members who decorated the float and marched in the town Memorial Day Parade this year. We were the best float! This was good visibility and a fun time. Democrats stand strong for protecting women's rights, safeguarding our fragile environment, and ensuring that public education serves all our children. We work for a strong economy that benefits all Americans, including access to affordable housing, quality health care, and jobs that pay a living wage. We will always respect and cherish the diversity of our fellow Americans. Above all, we expect our elected officials to support the institutions of democratic governance and follow the rule of law. If you share these values, you can find community in our committee. Redistricting happens in New Hampshire in 2030. That means the next two election cycles are especially important at the state level. If we can gain ground in the NH House and Senate, we will have a chance to correct the gerrymandered districts that give Republican candidates an unfair advantage. Get active in your local Democratic Committee and help make it happen! Committee T-shirts are available for $15; email requests to [email protected]. Wear blue, vote blue! |

Local Democrats Rock!
Adam Mulholland, Rep. Cassie Levesque, Rep. Heath Howard, Kim McGlinchey
Congratulations to our two Democratic Representatives who were re-elected in 2024: Heath Howard and Cassandra Levesque have made their mark as effective Democratic voices in Concord. We are so glad you are there to stand strong for Democratic values!
In his first run for office, Air Force veteran Adam Mulholland of Barrington ran a strong campaign for the third House seat in District 4 last fall. Kim McGlinchey of Strafford also made a good showing in the larger State Rep District 18, which covers the towns of Strafford, Barrington, New Durham and Middleton. We are grateful to these thoughtful, experienced Democratic candidates for the time and effort they put into running for office to serve their community.
