Democrat Candidates For Congress And Governor
To
Speak In Gilmanton
Two
speakers will headline July’s meeting of the Tri-Town Democrats—
Congressional District 1 Candidate Chris Pappas and Gubernatorial
Candidate Molly Kelly. All local Democrats and left-leaning
Independents are invited to attend this continuing series of
meetings focusing on November’s mid-term elections.
Chris
Pappas is a proud product of Manchester public schools, small
business owner, and community leader. After graduating Harvard
College in 2002, Chris returned to New Hampshire to help run his
family’s business, the Puritan Backroom Restaurant. He began his
public service to the community by being elected as a State
Representative in 2002, serving two terms, and was subsequently
elected to two terms as the Treasurer of Hillsborough County. Since
2013, Pappas has represented District 4 on the New Hampshire
Executive Council.
Molly
Kelly is a former five term NH State Senator out of Keene. While in
the Senate, she served as the Chair of the Governor’s Advanced
Manufacturing Education Advisory Council, on the NH Rail Authority,
and on the Governor’s Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment. As a former single
mother working her way through college, NH’s education system and
focus on workforce development are two issues Kelly cares deeply
about. Molly believes that growing up the second of 11 children,
taught her an important lesson: if one is to succeed, then all must
succeed.
The
guest speakers will be followed by actions items and community
organizing. These monthly meetings give you the opportunity to learn
about local and state political issues and how you can participate
in making a difference. You will share the evening with
like-minded individuals and have the chance to express your opinions
and experiences.
This
meeting of the Tri-Town Democrats will be held on Monday, July 2nd
at 6:30 pm at the Wagner Barn at 63 French Road in Gilmanton.
Come for socializing and potluck any time between 6:15 pm and 6:30
pm.
This
meeting is open to all residents of Alton, Barnstead, and Gilmanton
who consider themselves moderate, liberal, or progressive Democrats
or like-minded Independents. Potluck items to share are encouraged
but not required. For more information, email
[email protected] or
visit the “Barnstead, Gilmanton, and Alton Democrats” Facebook page.
This
communication does not infer an endorsement or favorability of any
kind to any Democratic candidates actively engaged in competitive
primary contests.
