School Board Candidate Training January 21st

If you’re concerned about the decline in academic standards, the harm done by shutdowns and mandatory masking, and the politicization of our public schools, please consider running for School Board in your district. We need to take back control of our schools and renew their focus on academic achievement.

The 603 Alliance is here to help, offering free campaign training and guidance to qualified candidates. NOW IS THE TIME TO GET STARTED. Our ONE AND ONLY training session this year will take place on Saturday, January 21st, from 9 AM to 5 PM in Concord.

If you’re interested in attending, please fill out our CANDIDATE SURVEY. (Click here for the survey.)

If you want to know more about the role of a School Board member, what’s involved, and how you can get started, please check out our recorded webinar from last year.

Thanks to everyone who joined us last week for our Lake Winnipesaukee cruise.  Attendees were treated to a rousing speech by Nick Adams, founder of the Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness.  We’d like to express our gratitude to everyone who helped out with this event, including our sponsors, emcee Jeff Chidester, and the many people who helped with the auction and organizing the event.

Congratulations to the winners of our Straw Poll:
General Don Boduc was the top pick for US Senate and Karen Testerman won the poll for Governor. The CD1 and CD2 top choices were Karoline Leavitt and Lily Tang Williams, respectively. Thanks to all who participated, and congratulations to the winners.

Call for Candidates: Informational Webinar May 19th

Some excellent legislation has been introduced in the current biennium, including measures aimed at ending mask mandates in schools, protecting New Hampshire residents from compulsory vaccination, safeguarding free speech for sidewalk counselors outside abortion clinics, and curtailing indoctrination in our schools. Several very good bills have become law, but many are still going through the legislative process. We’re optimistic that some positive changes will come about, – but we’d like to see the legislature do even more.

Unfortunately, a lot of good bills have been gutted and many have been defeated outright, simply because we don’t have enough votes in the legislature to get them passed. If we want to change that, we need to elect more liberty-loving Reps and Senators in our state.

Have you ever considered running for State Representative? In fact, a large percentage of State Rep candidates in our state have never run for office before. The 603 Alliance has worked with several hundred candidates over the past six years. We help first-time candidates to get the training and resources they need to be successful.  If you’re willing to consider running for state rep, we hope you’ll reach out and let us know.

On Thursday, May 19th, we’ll be holding an INFORMATIONAL WEBINAR to help you better understand what it’s like to run for State Rep, and what kind of commitment is required if you win your election.  We’ll also tell you about the resources that the 603 Alliance and others will be committing to help elect good candidates in 2022.

If you’d like to see the legislature do more to advance the cause of liberty in our state, please join us to learn more.
As a former State Rep and friend of the 603 Alliance likes to say “If you don’t have the votes, you lose.”  Yours might be the vote that makes the difference.  Join us!

RECAP: James O’Keefe Visit to NH

On April 20th, the 603 Alliance hosted James O’Keefe of Project Veritas for a special luncheon event in Concord.  Tickets were sold out in just a few days, and we heard from quite a few people who were disappointed that they couldn’t get in.  Fortunately, Skip Murphy from Granite Grok got the whole thing on video.

The 603 Alliance was also happy to help make arrangements for James to visit Dartmouth College, which made waves back in January when they canceled Andy Ngo over purported threats from Antifa.

Team Veritas also made some waves on campus when they invited students to engage in some friendly debate about their organization. One student (who claimed to be a paid Democrat activist) tried to go head-to-head with O’Keefe. Spoiler alert: It didn’t go well.  Click here to watch James O’Keefe debate a young Dartmouth Democrat.

SOLD OUT: O’KEEFE LUNCHEON WAITLIST IS OPEN

Due to tremendous interest in our James O’Keefe luncheon on April 20th, we are now SOLD OUT.   We will be evaluating options for potentially adding some capacity, so if you’re interested in joining the waiting list for tickets, please email info@603alliance.org.  Specify the number of tickets for which you would like to be waitlisted.  Also provide your name and the best phone number at which you can be reached.
