I’m pleased to see this bipartisan support for easy availability to register to vote.

Rape kits provide essential evidence, which must be properly handled and preserved in order for victims to have access to to everything which brings them the best chance for justice, and healing.

This is wise.

This bill would help assure that every New Hampshire student can have access to high quality free public education. Please support it.

I want you to root out people who are trying to buy our grass-roots election system by identifying who is contributing to our Granite State election campaigns.

WE need to know who or what is spending big amounts of money in our elections.

Debora HatcherSupportDover, NHfor MyselfJan 20, 2026

I am an independent voter, and I have become increasingly alarmed by the corruption in our state. I support any effort in Concord to increase transparency in political donations. Citizens have a right to know who is paying off our elected officials. This bill is one small increase in transparency. Please support it. Thank you.

Claudia GibsonSupportHanover, NHfor MyselfJan 20, 2026

Testimony is for the non-germane amendment

Transparency in funding political campaigns again go to trust in the system and encourages participation.

Anne GuerrieroSupportKeene, NHfor MyselfJan 20, 2026

It is so very important for the source of campaign contributions to be open and transparent. If a candidate is receiving out of state contributions or donations from political action committees, that information should be available to voters.

Nancy MilesSupportHanover, NHfor MyselfJan 20, 2026

We definitely need more disclosure of political donations. I support this bill.

Gail CoffeySupportWilton, NHfor MyselfJan 20, 2026

Time to remove the influence of big money interests on our elections from both parties. This should be a transparent process visible to all voters.

Sharon RacusinSupportHanover, NHfor MyselfJan 20, 2026

This bill seeks to provide election expenditure transparency where there is NONE at the moment. We need non-partisan accountability

Kathy ArchibaldSupportWarren, NHfor MyselfJan 20, 2026

If the state of NH would pay its fair share, we taxpayers would save far more on property taxes. Stop the gop tax scam for once and for all. NH must fund public education. GOP lawmakers pretend to lower taxes, but it's only for the rich, so New Hampshire families pay for it in the end.

Kay MaySupportAmherst, NHfor MyselfJan 20, 2026

This bill will increase transparency of campaign contributions and has a relatively low cost compared to the overall State budget. I'm surprised this requirement isn't already part of NH campaign finance law. And, I can't imagine that a State Rep of either party would have a problem with this piece of legislation.

Gregory DavisSupportSalem, NHfor MyselfJan 20, 2026

Accountability in campaign financing.

Louise EwingSupportAntrim, NHfor MyselfJan 20, 2026

Out of state groups with lots of money are trying to affect the outcome of our state elections. This bill helps make transparent who is vested in the outcomes of certain bills.
