This is a big election year, and there is a lot on the line for our country, our state and our democracy. We are hard at work mobilizing with our movement partners to defeat Trump so we can begin healing our communities, and it is just as important to show up for our New Hampshire state and district candidates.
RAD believes elections are opportunities to get strong champions into office who represent our movement and will shift the political landscape to win big change for our communities. The following voter’s guide lists the more than 100 candidates up and down the ballot who RAD has endorsed in New Hampshire. We are proud to support these candidates, who are committed to our values, our issues, and our movement.
This year, RAD is also recommending you vote for some candidates who we have not endorsed, but who we see as the clear best choice in their race in order to advance our agenda for social, racial, economic and climate justice. These candidates are listed at the bottom of their respective category, with *Recommended next to their name. To make it easy, we have grouped district-level candidates for state representative by county, closest to how they would appear on your ballot.
We are asking you to do three things:
- Use this guide to vote NOW using a mail-in ballot, or vote early in person.
- Share this guide with friends and family, and make sure they do the same.
- Sign up at this link to volunteer with us in the leadup to the election!
Let’s act like our collective future depends on it and Get Out The Vote 2020!
