No more senseless gun violence.

John –  Senseless gun violence impacts communities across our country every day, and we need to institute commonsense gun safety legislation that has been proven to save lives.  In the wake of the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, I'm unveiling a comprehensive policy platform on gun safety legislati…

Not rolling the dice on this one

My friend Robyn and I on Halloween as kids! Hey John, Joyce here. I'm reaching out before the trick-or-treaters come knocking to ask one last time: will you donate to my campaign right now before our end-of-month midnight deadline?   We're just $725 short of our fundraising goal. We can't roll the d…

MIDNIGHT DEADLINE

Happy Halloween, John!   We know there's a lot of preparation ahead of tonight, so we thought we'd help you out by making a to-do list: We all love a spooky Halloween, but our opponent Republican Kelly Ayotte as governor would be a horror show. Please, rush a donation before our Halloween deadline s…

Building a better future for New Hampshire

John, I'm running for Governor because I know we can build a better future for the families, small businesses, students, and people of New Hampshire.  On the other hand, my opponent, Republican Kelly Ayotte, is powering her campaign with greedy corporations that funnel millions of dollars. In excha…

The best way to fight the Sunday scaries

Hi John, it's Mike Craig – Joyce’s husband.  Joyce and I are here fighting a rainy day and the Sunday scaries thinking about this beautiful sunrise from the summer. But the best way to beat the Sunday scaries? Being able to meet our October fundraising deadline in just 3 days. We have $3,278 left t…

John, remember these three things:

John –  There are THREE numbers I want to make sure you understand about Kelly Ayotte:  6That’s the number of times she voted to defund Planned Parenthood in the Senate. 1,017 That’s the number of votes she lost her last election by - the closest race in the country. $5,000That’s the amount we need …

Hey John – it's Craig, Joyce's campaign manager. I'm reaching out because I have an important update.

Humbly asking for $5

John, I'll be straightforward here: can you chip in $5 to help us flip New Hampshire blue?   With GOP extremist Kelly Ayotte running for governor, the stakes for this race are high. Here's why:Reproductive rights are on the line. Ayotte's record shows she is the greatest threat to reproductive free…

Ayotte’s tripling down on her anti-abortion extremism

John, do you have a few minutes to spare?  Tomorrow is my mid-month fundraising deadline and we’re still short of our $10,000 goal. Not drastically so, but a $10 donation from you would go a long way toward closing the gap and helping us keep anti-choice extremist Kelly Ayotte out of Concord. CHIP…

Ayotte’s extremist views on abortion

John: New Hampshire deserves a Governor that fights for access to safe and legal abortion. In a recent interview, Kelly Ayotte attempted to dodge questions on her extreme views on abortion, even refusing to say if she’d veto anti-abortion legislation as Governor! Why? Because she knows her extreme v…
