The Granite State News Collaborative partners will hold a series of forums with gubernatorial and congressional candidates this fall to explore in-depth the issues that directly affect New Hampshire voters, and we’re fielding your questions now.
A new youth-specific voter information project by the Granite State News Collaborative and its partners is launching today. The initiative, Know Your Vote, was inspired by the Baltimore Beat’s Youth Voter Guide and aims to educate New Hampshire’s voters under 29 ahead of the 2024 elections.
Each forum will be co-hosted by a rotating pair of journalists from newsrooms across New Hampshire including the Concord Monitor, Keene Sentinel, New Hampshire Public Radio, New Hampshire Business Review, New Hampshire Bulletin, NHPBS, Citizens Count and other news outlets.
The State We’re In host Melanie Plenda, director of Research and Analysis for Citizens Count and host of the podcast “$100 Plus Mileage” Anna Brown, Assistant Professor at Plymouth State University Dr. John Lappie, Republican state Rep. Ross Berry representing south Manchester and Litchfield, and Democrat state Rep. Marjorie Smith representing Durham, discuss Congressional redistricting, what the competing proposals are and what it means for New Hampshire.
Even before the pandemic, schools struggled with eruptions of violence. As the pandemic wanes, those eruptions seem even more frequent. What’s going on in schools and what can be done to help? School psychologist and consultant Dr. Nate Jones joins The State We’re In host Melanie Plenda to discuss the issues.
