603 Forward Press Event

This morning, the New Hampshire Young Democrats held a press conference in Concord announcing the 603 Forward campaign, the purpose of which is to elect members of the NHYD Young Candidates Caucus (NHYCC). As Chair of the NHYCC, I spoke briefly on the importance of young people being represented:

"...I’m running for the same reasons so many of my fellow young candidates are: New Hampshire is our past and our future; it’s where we’re from, it’s where we’ll stay. We will pay the bills, we will face the consequences...."

Concord Monitor: "Is the House about to get a youth infusion?"

Check this out! I'm in the fourth paragraph:

...

"Younger people are extremely underrepresented in Concord," said 19-year-old candidate Doug Lindner of Manchester, who serves as chairman of the New Hampshire Young Democrats' Young Candidate Caucus, a new group devoted to supporting the candidacies of young Democrats. "I think I could be a positive influence and do my part." Lindner is transferring to Northeastern University from a school in Staten Island, in part so he could serve in the House.

New Hampshire Young Democratic Candidates Caucus

At Monday's meeting of the Board of the New Hampshire Young Democrats, I was unanimously appointed to be the Chair of the New Hampshire Young Democratic Candidates Caucus (NHYCC). As NHYCC Chair and a member of the NHYD Board, I will be working on NHYD's collaborative 603 Forward campaign to elect Young Democrats this fall. For more information, please keep checking back here and at http://www.nhyoungdemocrats.org. More information about 603 Forward and NHYCC will be available soon.

Blue Hampshire's Dean Barker Gives a Shining Endorsement

Tonight, Dean Barker, the co-editor of Blue Hampshire, New Hampshire's foremost netroots community, posted a front page article entitled, What do Doug Lindner and Barack Obama Have in Common? As frequent readers of Blue Hampshire know, I am a frequent contributor in the diaries and comments; those in that community have gotten to know me and my sociopolitical outlook very well over the ten or so months that I've been posting there, which makes this all the more gratifying.

Furthermore, Dean has added me to ActBlue Hampshire, the site's ActBlue fund-raising page, which as of tonight features Senator Obama, Governor Shaheen, Congresswoman Shea-Porter, Congressman Hodes, the 2010 Senate nominee fund, and myself--that's it. Just to be placed in such company is quite a compliment. I encourage those fans of Blue Hampshire who are so generously inclined as to contribute to my campaign (thank you, by the way) to do so via ActBlue Hampshire, allowing everyone to properly appreciate the impact of that community both on my campaign and on New Hampshire politics.

Meanwhile, if you haven't already, I strongly encourage you to read the article.
