RE:
100 Days from the New Hampshire Primary
We started this campaign in April with a plan and stuck to
it, delivering on Hillary Clinton’s promise to earn every vote and take
nothing for granted. On top of traditional campaign organizing and
online outreach, we layered policy discussions reflecting Hillary’s
commitment to fighting for families and broadening our coalition of
support in New Hampshire. The result is a strong, durable organization
built upon lasting relationships that will serve as the foundation of
our campaign for the next 100 days, Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV), and
Primary Day.
Over
the
past
six
months,
Hillary Clinton has earned support from Granite
Staters across the state, as well as nine of 10 Democratic state
senators, surpassing the number that endorsed her campaign in 2008.
Together they join a growing list of strong leaders backing Hillary,
including Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, Gov. Maggie Hassan, Rep. Annie Kuster,
progressive leaders like Dean Barker and former Obama campaign
Co-Chairs Ned
Helms, Paul Hodes, and Jim Demers, the American Federation
of Teachers-New Hampshire, the National Education Association-New
Hampshire – New Hampshire’s largest organized labor union - and many
more.
Throughout the summer and fall, Hillary Clinton laid out a vision for how, as President, she will take on the fights that keep families up at night. National senior policy advisers engaged with state stakeholders and regional working groups in the development and roll-out of Hillary Clinton’s bold policy agenda. In fact, she chose to detail her New College Compact, plan to combat substance abuse, incentives for profit sharing, and proposal to expand early childhood education -- all critical local issues - right here in New Hampshire.
The
strength
of
our
organization
was on full display at the Democratic
State Convention in September, where CNN noted teams of "supporters and
aides arrived outside the arena at 4:00 a.m., lining up along the
street with signs as a show of force.... That presence extended inside
the arena, too, where many of the seats were filled with Clinton
supporters."
This
week, during Hillary Clinton’s 12th
trip to New Hampshire, she headlined the
largest
“Politics
& Eggs”
in the event’s 20 year history, keynoted a
sold
out
Carroll County Democratic Committee’s Annual Grover Cleveland
Dinner,
and hosted a rural economic roundtable that filled
to
capacity
Littleton High School’s cafeteria, as well
as an overflow space. Throughout her trip, she engaged voters directly,
answering dozens of questions. Voters' positive response from
Manchester to Berlin is proof is her message of fighting for families
is resonating in the Granite State.
Now, with only 100 days left, we are increasing our
efforts. A
storefront in Laconia will be the next addition to our growing network
of local offices. These offices serve as hubs of activity for the more
than 5500 Granite Staters who have taken part in the campaign,
joining organizers in communities across the state. Together they
are talking to
voters every day about the ways that Hillary Clinton plans to fight for
them as President and her record of delivering real results.
In
the next eight days, leading up to
Hillary Clinton making her candidacy official on November 9th
at the Secretary of State’s Office in
Concord, we will be deploying surrogates to grassroots events all over
New Hampshire.
➢ Congressman Tim Ryan will attend a Merrimack County Democrats meet and greet, and speak at the Coos County Truman Dinner.
➢ Howard Dean will attend house parties in Conway and Plymouth.
➢ Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright will attend a Women for Hillary event in Concord and host a discussion of Hillary’s work to restore America’s leadership in the world.
➢ Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy will kick off a phone bank on gun violence prevention and campaign for Hillary at the Salem Democrats’ Fall Gala.
➢ Congressman Joseph Kennedy will host a series of grassroots events to energize and activate volunteers.
Our
approach
to
this
primary
campaign has been multi-faceted and
comprehensive from day one. We pledged to earn every vote and take
nothing for granted. As a result, we have an organization that is
well-positioned to build on its strength in the next 100 days, and make
Hillary Clinton the first female nominee of a major party
