I missed it last week, but on July 15th, Kelly Ayotte also signed House Bills 577 and 631! These new laws will help increase accessible and attainable housing options for the NH workforce, young families, seniors seeking to age in place, and people with disabilities.

There are still key bills awaiting action in the Governor’s office

Call & Email Kelly Ayotte - And ask her to VETO these bills

Electioneering

VETO

NHMA is asking members to contact the governor’s office and request a veto.  

SB213: “Electioneering” by public employees 

  • Creates a misdemeanor-level offense for public employees who, in the performance of their official duties, act in “any way designed to influence the vote of a voter on any question or office.” 

  • Exposes public workers to legal complaints for simply sharing information intended to educate voters and foster transparency, or even have everyday conversations about municipal operations, if a complainant believes such action had the effect of influencing a voter. 

  • Calls into question what information cities and towns may legally put out to educate voters, like voter guides. 

Here is how to make your voice heard: 

  • Submit an electronic message here. 

  • Mail a formal request on letterhead to:  
    Gov. Kelly Ayotte, Office of the Governor  
    NH State House 
    107 North Main Street 
    Concord, NH 03301 

  • In addition, ask a local legislator to follow up with the governor’s office on behalf of your municipality.

Voting Rights

VETO

Despite our efforts, 4 bills designed to make absentee voting harder are headed for signature. Here’s what you can do:

  1. Contact Governor Ayotte using this pre-drafted, customizable email template to tell her to VETO SB213, SB218, SB287, and HB613.

  2. Call Governor Ayotte at 603-271-2121 and say something like:

    I am a voter from Mont Vernon and I am calling to ask that the Governor VETO SB 213, SB 218, SB287, and HB 613. Absentee and accessible voting in New Hampshire already work well and we don’t need to make it harder. These bills create new barriers for seniors, people with disabilities, rural voters, and others who vote absentee because they cannot easily get to the polls. HB 613 unfairly shifts the burden from the state to the individual and creates unique obstacles for voters with disabilities, who risk losing their fundamental right to vote unless they anticipate their voting needs months in advance. Support Granite Staters exercising this fundamental right and veto all 4 bills.

  3. Send a postcard to Governor Ayotte urging her to VETO  SB 213, SB 218, SB 287, and HB 613.

Transgender Health Care Bans

VETO

Every major medical association agrees that gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth is essential treatment for those who need it. Health care decisions should be made by patients, their families, and their health care providers - never politicians.

  1. Email the governor easily here.

  2. Call Governor Ayotte at 603-271-2121 and say something like:

    I am a voter from Mont Vernon and I am calling to ask that the Governor VETO House Bills 377 and 712., and Senate Bill 284. Both HB 377 and HB 712 specifically target transgender teenagers, who are some of the most marginalized young people. Families of transgender youth need to be able to ensure their child can get the medical care they need. Decades of research showing this health care to be safe, effective, and essential to the health and well-being of many transgender youth. Please don’t allow politics to overrule science.
