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
