<p><strong>The deadlines for co-sponsors to sign off on House and Senate bills for the 2026 session is fast approaching! ⌛</strong></p>
<p>We want to ensure that there is as much bipartisan support as possible behind the following slate of pro-democracy bills next session. Your outreach can make all the difference! <strong>Studies have shown that communications from constituents have a sizable impact on how legislators act.</strong> That's especially true in New Hampshire, where each representative serves far fewer constituents than in most other states, making your voice even more influential.</p>
