| I have a lifetime of core New Hampshire memories from this time of year. Skating on Turkey Pond in high school. Countless hockey games. Reading the news of a political earthquake when young people changed politics in 1968 and sent a New Hampshire primary message that our country was off course. Or the firehouse chili feeds of my own presidential campaign twenty-three years later when Granite State friends and veterans rallied behind us to build an unlikely underdog victory.
And today, at a moment when our values are being tested, New Hampshire has another chance to right the course – by sending my friend Stefany Shaheen to Congress. Will you join me in standing with her this January?
Stefany is a refreshing candidate at a time when we need new voices. She's lived a life of public service and activism: on the Portsmouth City Council standing up against polluters and standing with first responders. Her motivations are deeply rooted in community: as a mother of four raising her kids in the state she loves, as a small business founder, as a citizen who knows we can do better, and no one can afford to sit this one out.
Activism is often energized when issues get personal. That's why I protested a war as a young man. That's Stefany's story too. When her young daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, Stefany experienced firsthand what it's like to navigate a broken healthcare system. She turned that struggle into purpose, starting a company dedicated to helping people manage chronic conditions with dignity and support.
Like me, today Stefany is deeply focused on the climate crisis and the spread of misinformation by big polluters and their allies. And they have no bigger allies than the crowd running Washington today. Their denial of science and delay of climate action threaten our kids. Silence isn't an option.
Stefany Shaheen will be the kind of voice that New Hampshire needs in these challenging times.
Will you join me in supporting Stefany's campaign by contributing $25, $50, or whatever you can afford today? Every day and dollar counts. |
| Onward, let's win this and make 2026 the year we set a new course – again!
John Kerry |
