Over the past few years, Democrats in the New Hampshire Senate have passed truly innovative legislation and made great progress for the people of our great state, such as:
- Protecting working families by keeping taxes low, raising the Minimum Wage and opening doors to workforce housing.
- Extending unemployment compensation to part-time workers and making it easier to hire unemployed workers
- Investing in education - finally ensuring access to kindergarten for every 5 year old and reducing the drop-out rate.
- Maintaining a business friendly tax structure while also passing the WARN Act, which prevents employers from closing without notice.
- Continuing our proud NH tradition of protecting civil liberties, including Marriage Equality
- Focusing on affordable health care access - including the innovative Health First Program designed to cut insurance costs and extending coverage to kids up to age 26 in the Healthy Kids Program
- Establishing a comprehensive energy plan including passing the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) to encourage renewable energy job growth, helping businesses and families become more energy efficient.
We are dedicated to building upon the momentum of these accomplishments and working to do what is best for our great state.
The next two years will be difficult. There are many critical challenges that we must face. We will work to ensure that these accomplishments are preserved and that further progress is made to guarantee a bright future for New Hampshire.
It is not too soon for us to begin working toward the next election cycle. Your contribution will assist in our efforts to regain our Senate Majority in 2012. Please consider giving today.
