    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.

  • Governor Sununu, We, the Undersigned
    Governor Sununu, We, the undersigned Democrats in the New Hampshire House, implore you to immediately issue a “stay-at-home” order to slow the spread of COVID-19 in New Hampshire. As our hospitals and the mayors of our largest cities have noted, every day that passes without a stay- at-home directive brings exponential growth to the health risks faced by Granite Staters, and unsustainable pressure on New Hampshire’s healthcare services which will lead to unnecessary loss of life. As you have acknowledged, we likely remain far from the peak of COVID-19 infections in New Hampshire. Many of us own or work at small businesses and understand that ordering non-essential businesses to close is a drastic step that will exacerbate the disruption COVID-19 has already brought to everyday life. However, as we have seen in other countries and other states, taking decisive action will slow the spread of the virus, save lives and allow our economy to rebound stronger and faster. The steps we have taken so far, which include telling people to keep their social gatherings to under 10 people, are simply not enough. Monday’s announcement of the first death from COVID-19 in New Hampshire emphasizes the urgency in our communities to take decisive steps to combat this deadly virus. Closing non- essential businesses and ordering people to stay at home are bold steps critical to that effort. Please join the states across America, including our neighbors Massachusetts and Vermont, that have taken these critical steps to slow the spread of COVID-19.

  • Fall Elections Are Less Than 3 Months Away One of the Many Impacts Of
    Fall Elections are Less Than 3 Months Away One of the many impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic is that some events that are non-pandemic-related get lost in the all-COVID, all-the-time news coverage. In the midst of the recent NH House and Senate meetings in-person at different locations than their usual State House chambers, the filing period for all State elective offices quietly opened and closed. Other than one US Senator whose term does not end this year - Sen. Maggie Hassan (D) - every NH state, county and local elective office is up for grabs and there are some surprises in the NH House, Senate and Executive Council line-ups for the September primary and the November general elections. In the House, 38 Democrats and 37 Republicans did not file for re-election, which will leave some big holes, especially in committee leadership positions. The chair of the Commerce & Consumer Affairs Committee, Ed Butler, is stepping down and the Science and Technology Committee is losing both its chair and vice-chair, Bob Backus and Howard Moffett. The Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs Committee will lose its vice-chair, Polly Campion. And the Children and Family Law and Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committees will both lose their vice-chairs, Skip Berrien and Beth Rodd. In addition, two Division chairs of the House Finance Committee will not be back next session because they are seeking higher office: Patricia Lovejoy (D) is running for the Executive Council seat left open by the retirement of Russell Prescott; and Susan Ford (D) is running for State Senate District One, the seat now held by David Starr (R).

AFP-NH hopes that this Scorecard will aid you in your efforts to remain well informed regarding some of the key legislative activity that took place in Concord over this past year and its impact in lowering or increasing barriers to success and enhancing a free and open society. This year certainly saw a change in how the Legislature did business, in response to the pandemic. This led to fewer roll calls than in years past, especially in the State Senate. AFP-NH does not score every vote in the House or Senate. Rather, the focus of this Scorecard is to consider the most important votes cast in priority issue ares that impact our society, such as taxes and spending, health care, educational opportunity, worker freedom, regulation, free speech, property rights, ending cronyism, and having a criminal justice system that focuses on rehabilitation. This year, the Legislature had the opportunity to vote on important issues in these areas, which are laid out in the vote descriptions. Within this Scorecard you will find these votes that are essential to removing barriers to opportunity.

  • 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.
