Remember, there are hundreds of candidates for state representative in NH, and their party affiliation is just one part of how they may vote. Research who's on your ballot before you cast your own vote! #NHPolitics
Is your town on this list? If not, reach out to your candidates and encourage them to complete the survey! Find your candidates: citizenscount.org/elections #NHPolitics
Just a reminder that the adage "every vote counts" is quite literal in NH! #NHPolitics
