Primary Results

I narrowly lost the Primary on September 9, and so I'm no longer a candidate.

Though I lost this race, there will be others, and for now I’m grateful to know that when the time comes, I’ll have the support of people like you.

Thank you very much.

State Primary

Don't forget to vote in the Primary! Polls will be open from 6am to 7pm tomorrow at The Derryfield School, 2108 River Rd.

Video from my WMUR interview.

Earlier this month, I appeared on WMUR's "Close Up" alongside NHYD President Garth Corriveau, Merrimack Young Democratic Candidate Andy Sylvia, and several young Republicans. Below is the video of the first segment, which includes my interview.



I rotated out during the ensuing commercial break, but if you'd like to see the rest of the episode, click for part 2 and part 3

Letter to the Concord Monitor

On Thursday, the Concord Monitor ran an editorial entitled "Survey says...well what exactly does it say?", focusing on how political polling is easily manipulated and can be a detriment to our political process.

I wrote a Letter to the Editor in response, which ran today. Some excerpts:

The incredible over-saturation of polling, most of which has questionable accuracy and implication, does a grave disservice to the American people.
...
When polling can be made to say anything, our leaders are afraid to do anything bold, and we lose the ability to bring about change.
...
Leadership isn't about bending to perceived public will or trying to manipulate people into agreeing; a true leader inspires people to follow him/her. That is precisely what has been missing from the political process.

This Sunday on WMUR

Quick heads-up, I'll be appearing on WMUR's Close Up this Sunday at 10 AM to talk about my candidacy.

Do you live in the district?

Let's face it: city wards are not something everybody pays attention to. I'm running in Manchester's Ward 1, but you may not know which ward you live in. This map will help you figure it out:

If you do live in Ward 1, and you'd be willing to host a small lawn sign, please shoot me an email (doug@douglindner.com), or call me (289-4349). Just provide your address and I'll come put up the sign!

Here's what the lawn sign looks like:

Still don't know which Ward you live in? Click here to go to the City of Manchester's official website; that service will tell you which Ward you live in, where to vote, who your Alderman is, etc. For the record, Ward 1's polling place (which has recently changed) is The Derryfield School, 2108 River Rd. (near the intersection of Union St. and River Rd.)
