VOTE LIKE YOUR LAKES DEPEND ON IT
New Hampshire is home to some of the cleanest and healthiest lakes in the country. But, they’re becoming sick and degraded before our eyes. They’re under serious threat from invasive species, toxic cyanobacteria blooms, polluted runoff water, failing septic systems, climate change, and more.
Our Lakes Need Your Help!
Our lakes need a group of informed and active citizens giving our lakes a voice at the state and local levels. And, we need a coalition of concerned and supportive leaders to initiate, support, and protect lake-friendly policy at the state and local levels.
You can help build a bipartisan coalition of lake-friendly legislators and municipal officials.
All of our state legislators, our entire national congressional delegation, and many municipal officials are up for election this fall. The New Hampshire State Primary is September 13 and the General Election is November 8.
You can help educate all legislators, no matter their party, and whether or not you vote in New Hampshire, on the following issues related our lakes:
• Recreation
• Economic Impacts
• Public Health
• Natural Values
Pledge to make clean and healthy lakes a priority at the polls in November!
You can pledge to make lake-friendly policy a priority at the polls and in your conversations with candidates and get a free sticker! Planning to chat with a candidate?
