PFAS and your drinking water

PFAS contaminants have recently been found in local NH drinking water supplies (wells and reservoirs).
Please see the notice (in the calendar) about the film series The Devil We Know concerning the ongoing contamination of community water supplies with PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances).  The showing is sponsored by the NH Safe Water Alliance.
It is the story of contamination in a West Virginia community caused by a synthetic chemical used in Teflon and research that has taken place since.

Bridges has been serving victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in the Greater Nashua area since 1977. In addition to supporting women and families as they transition out of abusive relationships and households, they run a crisis line that relies heavily on volunteers to both field calls and accompany victims to the hospital to help provide resources and information about Bridges Services.

NH Grassroots Newsletter – March 11

This newsletter is updated weekly year round.  It is prepared by the NH Democratic State Committee.

How to become a delegate at the NH Democratic Convention in September

The NHDP Annual Convention will be held on Saturday, September 7, 2019 at the SNHU Center (formerly Verizon Center), Manchester, NH.  Times will be determined in the next few weeks.  To keep up with information and details go to www.NHDP.org.

This will likely be the largest and most comprehensive—and interesting—convention in the state party’s history.  It will be the closest many of us get to attendance at a National Democratic Convention, including speeches by numerous Presidential Candidates, and the energy of the unfolding Democratic Primary.

Nashua Democrats are entitled to 100 delegates*, the second largest delegation in the state.  Nashua Delegates and their eligibility are determined as follows:

Four NDCC Officers:  Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer

Four At-Large NDCC Elected Members of the Executive Board

29 Legislative Members from Nashua, two Senators and 27 State Representatives

(The rules call for 29 “candidates” for office in the last election, but in 2018, they all won.)

63 Ward Officers, divided as follows for all nine wards:

Ward Chairs, Vice Chairs, Secretaries, Treasurers, and three at-large delegates

These positions will be elected at the NDCC Annual Meeting/Caucus on April 1.

*Some positions are duplicated: for example, where one of the NDCC Officers is also an elected legislator.

Please see “Our Officers” for details on election and description of each office.
