Great Turnout for Democratic Candidates Meeting Voters in Windham

Windems' Annual Event A Success

Windham, NH ~ On August 14th, a packed room of voters had the opportunity to meet Democratic candidates running for state-wide offices at the Windems' annual Summer Social. Held at the historic Searles School and Chapel, the event gave candidates a chance to speak directly to local voters about issues and concerns most important to them.

Touching on topics of women's reproductive rights, workforce housing issues, rising property taxes due to the state shifting expenses to the towns, the immense cost overrun of the education voucher scheme, and common sense gun regulation, the candidates shared their views on why New Hampshire needs to move away from the radical extremism being pushed and endorsed by the current legislature and administration and towards a more balanced agenda that more fully represents every resident in the state.

Candidates in attendance included:
