A LOCAL CANDIDATE IN THE RACE FOR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT 2!

Jason Neenos is running for the democratic nomination of the New Hampshire 2nd District because his lived experience represents valuable insight to the challenges Granite Staters face every day. He is going to speak at the next meeting at 6:15 — don't miss it.   

Jason Neenos is an educational technologist and former K12 educator. Jason defied the odds as a child of divorced parents who suffer from substance abuse. While working full time, Jason put himself through a local community college before transferring to Arizona State University where he earned both a bachelor's and master's degrees in education, the first person in his family to do so. Though he expected to have a fulfilling career as a classroom teacher, economic realities and a growing family prompted him to move to higher education where he now directs educational technology initiatives. As a former social studies teacher, Jason has always had a strong interest in civic engagement, inspiring two local campaigns for school board representative. He lives in Plymouth with his wife and three children on a small hobby farm. 

SAVE THE DATE: MONTHLY MEETING JUNE 26

We are excited to have NH Senator Becky Whitley joining us for our June 26 meeting of the Plymouth Area Democrats. Senator Whitley has joined the primary race for the 2nd Congressional District, formerly held by Annie Kuster.

Senator Whitley was first elected to the New Hampshire State Senate in 2020. She’s a member of the bipartisan Housing Caucus and a founding member of the New Hampshire Moms Caucus. Among other legislation, Senator Whitley introduced and helped pass the Childcare for NH Working Families Act, which resulted in a historic investment in childcare in the state, and the NH MOMnibus, which expanded New Hampshire’s Medicaid program to improve maternal and infant health outcomes. She is also a stalwart champion for reproductive freedom in New Hampshire, sponsoring numerous bills to protect abortion, birth control, and access to IVF treatment.

AND PLEASE SAVE ANOTHER DATE: Monday, July 15

We are honored to hold a forum for the three gubernatorial candidates in the Democratic primary. This will be held at 7pm at the Common Man in Plymouth. More information to come.
