National group endorses robust slate eligible for up to $375,000 staff investment as part of effort to rally Democrats to vote
For Immediate Release
August 10, 2022
CHICAGO–Progressive Turnout Project is proud to announce the endorsement of 162 candidates for the New Hampshire General Court who are essential to gaining Democratic seats and standing up against Republicans’ extreme agenda for the state.
These endorsed candidates will be eligible to participate in PTP’s Campaign Fellows Program, which will bring an investment of up to $375,000 to selected New Hampshire candidates by directly supporting campaigns with a paid staff member dedicated to voter contact. Adding just one full-time staff member can make all the difference, especially in state legislative races, which typically see less attention.
“The 2020 elections in New Hampshire confirmed the importance of communicating directly with voters in order to win. It’s that simple,” said State Senator Becky Whitley. “Progressive Turnout Project’s Fellows Program will increase our ability to have even more conversations with more voters across the Granite State. In a state that values knowing their elected officials, a program like this is a huge value add for Democrats up and down the ballot.” Senator Whitley is a member of Progressive Turnout Project’s Fellows Advisory Board.
This kind of direct voter contact is how elections are won–and PTP is thrilled to offer this level of support to New Hampshire Democrats.
“Voting and participating in the electoral process is central to Granite State values and to our democratic system of government,” said Senator Democratic Leader Donna Soucy. “Progressive Turnout Project endorsed candidates who know that protecting access to the ballot box is a key component to protecting our democracy. Our democracy is stronger when as many of our citizens participate in elections as possible and we look forward to working with all Progressive Turnout Project endorsed candidates to ensure that as many Granite Staters as possible exercise their right to vote and to ensure access to one of our most fundamental rights.”
Progressive Turnout Project is investing over $5 million to elect Democrats in state legislatures across the country to combat Republican attempts at undermining the future of our communities.
