The Interim Study motion recommended by Senate Finance passed on a voice vote today. This is unquestionably the last stop for the bill this term, as the Senate is unlikely to form a study committee on the subject and will let it die on the vine.

Primary season approaches, and without a roll call disproving otherwise, it is safe to assume the entire Republican caucus of the Senate opposes Defend the Guard, save for Abbas who testified in person in support. This past weekend, DTG was added to the NHGOP platform with overwhelming support from the several hundred delegates in attendance. The Republicans of this state have spoken, and we want this passed.

There’s opportunity for synergy during door knocking, as well. Former Senate President Chuck Morse is running for governor, and is the only gubernatorial candidate in the country that has openly supported Defend the Guard. If you wish to link up, fill out this form here, and I’ll be happy to join you knocking for Senate primary opponents and for the future governor of New Hampshire!
