Today, on behalf of the New Hampshire Young Democrats, I had the privilege to officially unveil “603 Forward.”
“603 Forward” is the NHYD campaign to elect 31 Young Democratic candidates for state representative this year. Below is the text of my remarks and the 603 Forward NHYD roster.
The New Hampshire Young Democrats have committed to promoting and supporting 31 Young Democratic candidates for N.H. state representative this fall politically and financially. We’re online, working together, at http://www.nhyoungdemocrats.org/ and the social networking sites. We’re already raising money on the “603 Forward” Act Blue page.
Not only are we active with the netroots though, we’re active with the grassroots. In a little over a week, NHYD will begin our statewide canvassing efforts, encouraging New Hampshire’s young adults to vote Democratic in November, not only for Barack Obama, Jeanne Shaheen and John Lynch, but all the way down the ballot … especially for our young state representative candidates. Young voters have a choice in November - not just between left and right, Democrat and Republican, but between the past and the future. The 31 candidates below represent the future.
New Hampshire’s Young Democrats have never been so enthusiastic about an election as they are about this one. The political enthusiasm of young people is palpable, and these 31 candidates are evidence of that enthusiasm. Something is happening in New Hampshire. As more and more Young Candidates filed, I asked around and no one can remember the Democratic Party having so many Young Democratic candidates run for office. As the Republican party looks backward, with the same old candidates talking about the same old failed policies, New Hampshire’s young voters, who accounted for over 16 percent of the vote in January’s presidential primary, are looking forward. That’s why we named our campaign “603 Forward.”
New Hampshire’s Young Democrats are organized, united and ready for change because no generation has more at stake in this election than New Hampshire's young adults. The New Hampshire Young Democrats are committed to bringing fresh, new perspectives and judgment to Concord in 2009, focusing on local issues and the significant, unique challenges facing New Hampshire’s young adult population – a population that is leaving our state in large numbers.
The change New Hampshire’s young voters are striving for, the change generating such enthusiasm - change that grows our economy, provides healthcare for all and cleans our environment … change that doesn’t divide us but rather unites us - that change starts with electing Young Democrats to office this November. I know they will appreciate your support.
