, With the Iowa caucuses behind us, the eyes of the nation now turn to New Hampshire. But we've had our eyes on the Granite State since last August, when Republican Governor Chris Sununu VETOED bipartisan legislation to create an independent redistricting commission! Sula -- we're holding him accountable. Our hard-hitting football-themed ad took him to task recently, and New Hampshire is one of our 2020 target states. But we need your help to keep up the pressure -- in New Hampshire and ALL of our target states. DONATE TO THE FIGHT FOR FAIR MAPS There's a big risk that as voters become more and more consumed by the race for the White House, they'll lose focus on the down-ballot races that will determine which party controls redistricting. But YOU can help us make sure that doesn't happen. Rush a donation now to help us win the fight for fair maps in New Hampshire and all over the country this November: If you' ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Express donate $5 >> Express donate $15 >> Express donate $25 >> Express donate $50 >> Or, donate a different amount >> DONATE   Paid for by the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.
