Starting off on our “Seven New Hampshire Town Halls To The New Year!” The Countdown is on! Here in Dover and then Wolfeboro, Conway, Gorham, Littleton, Claremont and Keene. Join us if you can, or follow us on line!
NH TOWN HALL 1: Dover! We kicked off our three-day, 7 town hall swing with over 500 fired up Granite Staters this morning.
From now until the New Year, we’re taking our town halls all across the state to meet people where they are. New Hampshire is ready to win big. #FITN
NH TOWN HALL 2: Wolfeboro! What a crowd.
Honored to be introduced by Rep. Edie DesMarais. She was the first Democrat in more than 100 years to be elected in this town and she knows the importance of winning big up and down the ballot. We’re ready to go in 2020!

So John and I went off the grid on our own at the Minnesota State Fair on a long Sunday afternoon journey in search of our friends' blue ribbon salsa 🍅🏆 and saw some really cool stuff along the way…
At first we thought it was in the horticulture 🪴🍎🐝 building so we asked some U of M master gardeners 🌸 and somehow ended up surrounded by the state's biggest pumpkins but no salsa...
Then a Christmas tree 🌲 decorated with all state fair ornaments…out of season but still!
Yesterday on the Senate floor, I told the story of an #ImmigrantHealthHero on the frontlines treating COVID-19 patients at Mayo Clinic. While she's saving lives, she's worried she won't be able to stay here to do her work while filling out paperwork to prove she’s “worth keeping"
President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.” These doctors are choosing service over fear. Saving lives, saving someone’s grandma is more important to them than fear.
That’s why I’m leading efforts to reauthorize the Conrad 30 Program which allows foreign doctors trained in the U.S. to work in underserved areas and keep doing their heroic service for our country during this pandemic.
COUNTY 15: Ended last night in Council Bluffs, Iowa with energized Dems ready to #WinBig! Thanks Steve & Chris for hosting, my friend @FranParrCB for coming & our great field team @emmaforamy & Jonah @Winn_Big for being amazing organizers out here & meeting people where they are.
@FranParrCB @emmaforamy @Winn_Big COUNTY 16: Harrison County! Good morning from Logan, Iowa. Needed that cup of coffee from Bunkhouse Cafe Too to start the day… hitting another 9 counties today! #ForAllofAmerica
@FranParrCB @emmaforamy @Winn_Big COUNTY 17: Shelby! Shout out to @JDScholten for recommending @MilkHoneyIowa! It’s as good as you say it is and the team here is even better! Thanks to the owners, Dan & Ellen, for having us!
COUNTY 7: Decatur! In Lamoni, Iowa (population: 2,300). We’re 43 days away from the Iowa caucus & people are showing up because they know what it’s going to take to #WinBig: we need to bring people with us, go everywhere & leave no one behind. #ForAllofAmerica
COUNTY 8: Thanks Sarah & Steve, Clarke County Dems Co-Chairs & everyone who came to Osceola, IA today to talk about infrastructure, affordable housing and so much more. From big cities to small towns, people want an optimistic economic agenda and an opportunity to succeed.
COUNTY 9: Union County! And Malcolm here just gave me the Iowa “golden ticket” - a commit to caucus card signed by him! #ForAllofAmerica
COUNTY 1 on our #ForAllOfAmerica bus tour: Henry County, Iowa! Sharing my message from last night’s debate: what unites us is far stronger than what divides us and we must beat Donald Trump in 2020.
COUNTY 2: In 2012, Jefferson County voted for President Obama to serve a second term.
In 2016, they flipped and voted for Donald Trump.
I'm here today making my case in 2020: we can and will win in rural America. #ForAllofAmerica
COUNTIES 3 & 4: Van Buren & Davis. Stopped at Misty’s for a malt and then Sidelines Grill. People here know that it’s time to bring this country together. That’s what I’ll do: unite our country with an optimistic economic agenda and beat Donald Trump. #ForAllofAmerica
