Hello all,
A wonderful opportunity has presented itself for us to get a chance to listen to former Michigan Congressmen Mike Rogers on April 26th at 6pm. We have reserved the larger meeting room at the Stratham Municipal Center so we should have plenty of room for all who want to attend. Spread the word and tell your friends!
We in NH have a unique responsibility with our first in the nation primary to vet candidates by meeting them up close and personal. There are many other states, like South Carolina, who would like to take this privilege from us. Whether you already support someone else or don’t think certain candidates have a chance, the one thing that we have found is that each candidate has an interesting story and perspective to share. We hope to see you at this event!
