You Helped Elect Edie Desmarais to the NH House!
Wolfeboro had a Special Election on May 23rd. We now have a terrific new NH State Rep, Edie DesMarais: check her out at EdieforWolfeboro.com or visit and like her page on Facebook.

News and Upcoming Events
We had a great meeting on January 23rd with a lot of new faces wanting to know how they can stand up to the Trump and Sununu Administrations. To do that we’ve started working on Activists Workshops. The first one was on February 2nd at the Moultonborough Library and covered social media.
Our next general meeting will on Monday February 27th at the Wolfeboro Inn in Wolfeboro. The Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy will be joining us. We will also hear from Edie DesMarais, our candidate in the upcoming Special Election to fill one of Wolfeboro’s NH House seats.
Starting in March we will be hosting an Activist Workshop each month at the Conway Public Library. On Saturday March 11th at 1pm Bob Gillette, formerly of Radio Free Europe, will be discussing best practices and techniques for writing a Letter to the Editor of your local newspaper.
We will have more information on the topics and presenters soon but the dates for the April and May workshops are Saturday April 15th and May 13th, both at 1pm. Please follow our Facebook page to stay up to date on our ongoing efforts to hold the administrations in Concord and Washington accountable!

Visibility in Wolfeboro, Friday November 4th
From the Wolfeboro Democrats:
How many of you remember the incredible visibility event we had only four years ago in Wolfeboro? It’s time to do it again.
This Friday, the last one before Election Day, looks to be a quintessential beautiful fall day, one of the last long days of sunlight this year. The Democrats of Wolfeboro and other like-minded folks from all around Southern Carroll County will be assembling at Pickering Corner once again to stand proud for our brave candidates. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! Forward this info to anyone wh might be interested.
It starts at 3:30 and goes till dark. Pickering Corner is “at the top of the hill,” where Route 28 and 109 come together. If there’s no parking on the street, you can park at the Congregational Church on the left, heading into town.
Please bring signs if you have them – or make your own. There will be some signs available, but definitely not enough for everyone.
See you there!
