The People New Hampshire

 

Mission

The people are everyday Americans working to find common ground and take action to create a more responsive government of, by, and for the people. The People NH is founded on the belief that we must come together as a community, putting party loyalty aside, to work to fix our democracy rule by rule, reform by reform.

We are looking for Granite Staters to join us in identifying and championing election and legislative reforms here in New Hampshire. Over the next year we will identify the issue that citizens wish to work on and together we will build a campaign plan to make policy change in the state.

 

Five Foundational Rules in NH

Our work has been derived from New Hampshirites. There are five rules all of our work must comply with, in order to stay true to The People’s values and identity

  1. Owned by The People

  2. Reform for the US

  3. Political Balance

  4. 2/3 Supermajority Rules

  5. Respect and Understanding

NH Voter Survey

We want to hear from YOU! Share your thoughts and help The People NH identify the reforms needed to make our government more accountable and responsive.

We are making a point to reach Granite Staters from across the state - talking to all of our communities and demographics. Your answers will be held in strict confidentiality. The results will be reported in aggregate form only, and cannot be identified individually. It will take approximately 8 minutes to complete this survey. Thank you in advance for your time!

Take the survey here!
