DFNH members in the Upper Valley played a significant role in the Get Out the Vote operations in the Upper Valley, including Lyme and Lebanon, which were organized using the model from the Dean campaign. In addition to delivering a large vote for Senator Kerry, the Upper Valley turned out in large numbers for John Lynch, one of the DFNH Dozen and the next governor of New Hampshire. Peter Burling was elected to the State Senate handily along with Democrats coming to the New Hampshire House from Lebanon (all four), Lyme and Hanover (all four), Canaan (2 of 3), and New London (1 of 2). These are impressive gains in our area, and we look forward to further expanding on them.

In general, I am excited about the role that Dean supporters have played in this election cycle in New Hampshire. We have made a real difference - and will certainly continue doing so through Democracy for New Hampshire.
