SEA RECS1

Today is the day!  Thank you for working hard for pro-education candidates! We’ve canvassed, we’ve phone banked, we’ve held signs, we’ve shared ideas with neighbors -now it’s time for our work to pay off by casting our ballots. This is our chance to make government work for public education in New Hampshire and a win in the House, Senate, or Governorship would end the slurry of Voucher Bills in the works for the 2019 legislative agenda.  See you at the polls!
