New Hampshire's citizen legislature only works when people know what they’re voting for.

We're building the tools to make informed voting easy. And we need your help now to finish and let people know about it – BEFORE THE SEPTEMBER PRIMARY.

Our Story

DEMOCRACY SHOULDN’T BE THIS HARD.

Most people don't have hours to search through legislative websites, read lengthy bills, watch committee hearings, or piece together how decisions at the State House affect their everyday lives.

That shouldn't be a requirement for participating in democracy.

We believe New Hampshire deserves better.

NH Deserves Better is building a unique, free, civic information platform that makes government easier to understand and civic participation more accessible for everyone.

We're connecting public information that already exists but has never been brought together in one place.

Imagine being able to:

Learn about your legislators in minutes instead of hours.
Understand legislation in plain language.
Explore voting records alongside public testimony.
See how bills connect to news stories and everyday issues.
Discover organizations working on issues you care about.
Read community-submitted context about the people who represent your district.
Find meaningful ways to participate in the legislative process.

FindMyNHCandidate.org is the tool we’re making to make sure everyone has access to the information they need to think for themselves.

Why This Matters

Whether it's housing, education, healthcare, taxes, transportation, civil rights, public safety, or the environment, the decisions made in Concord ripple into all our cities and towns. Easy access to information is crucial. It ensures we can choose the people and policies that represent our interests best. By making public information easier to access, easier to understand, and easier to connect, we're helping remove one of the biggest barriers to civic participation.

When people understand how government works, they are better equipped to:

Vote with confidence.
Contact their elected officials.
Participate in public hearings.
Organize within their communities.
Hold meaningful conversations.
Build stronger communities.

What We're Building

FindMyNHCandidate.org will be the first-ever collection of free public resources that includes local insights. Now we need your help to let people know about it and keep it going through this fall’s elections and beyond. This includes:

✅ Candidate information

✅ Legislator profiles

✅ Voting records

✅ Community members’ insights

Candidate information is our most immediate priority and the first resource we're working to launch. As we continue listening to communities across New Hampshire and learning where barriers to civic participation exist, we'll expand the platform with additional tools and resources, including:

✅ Connecting news directly to legislation

✅ Plain-language bill summaries

✅ Public testimony analysis

✅ Organization directory

✅ Election resources

✅ Civic engagement guides

✅ District lookup tools

Why Community Insights Matter

Official biographies and campaign websites only tell part of the story.

The people who know our elected officials best are often the people who live, work, volunteer, and organize alongside them.

Find My NH Candidate.org allows community members to contribute relevant public context that helps neighbors better understand the people seeking to represent them.

Informed communities make stronger decisions.

You Can Make Voting More Informed in NH

Building these free tools has been a generous act of caring so far. Now we need your help to finalize them for fall elections and make voters aware.

This is the database voters need. It’s the first that will enable you and others watching candidates closely to share that knowledge with everyone in your town or district.

We need your help NOW before September 1.
