    Post-Election State Senate Preview 2021-2022 N.H. Senators on Legalization: 10 Support — 2 Undecided — 12 Opposed Sen. John Reagan (R-Deerfield) has strongly supported all cannabis policy reform bills. He responded yes to all three MPP survey questions. Sen. Tom Sherman (D-Rye) voted yes on the medical cannabis bill in 2013 and the decriminalization bill in 2015 as a member of the House. In 2019, he voted yes on HB 364 (medical cannabis home cultivation) and spoke on the Senate floor in favor. He expressed support for legalization and regulation while HB 481 was being considered in 2019 and offered to help work out a compromise on the bill. Sen. Harold French (R-Franklin) voted yes on decriminalization bills as a member of the House in 2015 and 2016 and as a senator in 2017 when the bill became law. He voted yes on the medical cannabis home cultivation bill in 2019 (HB 364), and he was quoted in the Concord Monitor in 2019 expressing support for HB 648 (adult-use legalization and regulation) — although he said the bill needed more work before he could vote for it. Sen. Suzanne Prentiss (D-Lebanon) responded favorably to the question, “Should NH legalize the recreational use of marijuana?” on a candidate survey administered by Citizens Count. Her comment: “With proper addiction programs put in place at the same time." Sen. Rebecca Perkins Kwoka (D-Portsmouth) responded yes to all three MPP survey questions — expressing support for allowing adults to use cannabis, taxing and regulating cannabis, and allowing adults to cultivate cannabis at home.

  • January 16, 2018 Chris Sununu Governor of New Hampshire 107
    January 16, 2018 Chris Sununu Jeb Bradley Governor of New Hampshire New Hampshire Senate Majority Leader 107 North Main Street 107 North Main Street Concord, NH 03303 Concord, NH 03303 Chuck Morse Gene Chandler New Hampshire Senate President New Hampshire Speaker of the House 107 North Main Street 107 North Main Street Concord, NH 03303 Concord, NH 03303 Dear Governor Sununu, Senator Morse, Senator Bradley, and Speaker Chandler, In the coming months, the New Hampshire legislature will be responsible for reauthorizing our state's Medicaid Expansion, the New Hampshire Health Protection Plan, a program that currently covers more than 50,000 Granite Staters. Medicaid Expansion provides vital services to those who wouldn’t be able to afford health insurance on their own. It also plays a crucial role during the opioid crisis, with more than 20,000 Granite Staters having accessed Substance Use Disorder treatment services through the program. It is vital that Republicans and Democrats alike come together and reauthorize a clean version of Medicaid Expansion. Our objective is simple: reauthorize Medicaid Expansion so that nobody loses their health insurance. Every single one of those more than 50,000 New Hampshire residents who rely on the program for quality care must be able to continue to rely on this program after the reauthorization. That is our bottom line and fundamental guarantee. This should be a simple decision for New Hampshire Republicans, who have pledged to work to reauthorize the program as well. Hopefully Republicans join us in the understanding that any reauthorization that kicks people off of insurance isn’t really reauthorization at all; it’s a partial repeal and that is simply unacceptable.

  • MAY 31 5 3 Is the Anticipated Date by States Have Released Their States—Connecticut, Which All New England Phased Reopening Plans
    D A T A B R I E F M A Y 2 0 2 0 N E B H E S U M M A R Y A N D A N A L Y S I S : N E W E N G L A N D ' S P L A N S F O R R E O P E N I N G EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Stay-at-Home Orders: All six New England governors issued executive Stay-at-Home orders. The order was lifted in early May in Rhode Island, is slated to end mid-May in Massachusetts and Vermont, and is projected to end at the end of the month in Connecticut, Maine, and New Hampshire. Mandatory Mask Advisory: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island require most people to wear masks in public when social distancing is not possible. New Hampshire and Vermont recommend the use of masks in public but do not require it. Contact Tracing: Maine is the only New England state that has not launched a contact tracing program. Maine officials cite a lack of funding as the reason. Reopening Advisory Groups: Governors in five states—Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont—have formed advisory groups to develop and implement economic reopening plans for their respective states. These groups are comprised of several leaders across a variety of sectors, including business, manufacturing, public health, and education. Reopening Plans: Except for Massachusetts, every New England state has released phased plans to reopen their states' economies, in accordance with the White House Opening Up America Again guidelines.
