NHFCR Shatters Voter Contact Records
This cycle, to maximize our impact, we ran our first-ever digital ad campaign on Facebook and Instagram for our Granite List members and young Republicans across the state. I am proud to report that our ad campaign made 237,274 impressions on those two social media platforms in social media markets spanning the entirety of the Granite State. We learned a lot from this method of reaching voters, and look forward to building on those lessons learned and increasing the impact they have for election cycles to come. Of course, our main focus was on New Hampshire elections, but we still help out our neighbors in need. We helped out our fellow College Republicans in New York, New Jersey and Maine. Most notably, our work in Maine paid off in pushing Susan Collins over 50% in her most crucial US Senate race, avoiding a second-choice ballot count. Between those three races another 2,234 voter contacts were made, for a grand total of 125,907 voter contacts.
In total, New Hampshire College Republicans were involved in 29 New Hampshire state-level races. Of those 29, 4 were for the Executive Council, 7 were for the State Senate, and 18 were for the State House. For the Executive Council, all 4 races that we were involved in won, and three of them were flipped seats while one was a held seat. Of the State House races, 10 were won while two of them were flipped. Of the State Senate races, all 7 were won, and 4 were flipped seats. Our involvement certainly did help win these seats and we learned that we have the capability to reach so many Granite State voters, and turn them out to vote to protect the New Hampshire advantage.
