“Write-in Biden” group launched

President Jo Biden

CONCORD, N.H. Today, more than 100 grassroots leaders and volunteers from across New Hampshire are launching “Write-In Biden,” a statewide effort to encourage New Hampshire voters to commit to writing in Joe Biden during the 2024 NH Presidential Primary this winter.

Write-In Biden will make clear the importance of voting for Joe Biden in the NH Presidential Primary to defend freedom and democracy, and stand up to Donald Trump and MAGA extremists. The group is focused on grassroots organizing and getting the word out to Democratic and Undeclared primary voters about the importance of writing in Joe Biden in the primary this winter.

“New Hampshire will once again have the first-in-the-nation primary this winter,” said Kathy Sullivan, former NH Democratic Party Chair. “Writing in Joe Biden for President on the primary ballot is how New Hampshire voters can show the world our commitment to freedom, to standing up to the MAGA extremists, to keeping us safe and strong around the world, and to building an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top.”

“The 2024 elections are the most consequential of our lifetimes, with the fate of our democracy hanging in the balance,” said Senator and NH Senate Democratic Leader Donna Soucy. “Standing up for our freedoms is much more important than party politics, and that’s why voters from every corner of the state are committing to write-in Joe Biden for President in the primary this winter.”

“President Biden has shattered years of congressional gridlock,” said Representative and NH House Democratic Leader Matt Wilhelm. “He’s passed a game-changing Infrastructure law, a critical investment in American competitiveness in the CHIPS semiconductor act which is sparking new economic growth in New Hampshire, and the Inflation Reduction Act which has already begun to cut prices for consumers while also taking the biggest steps in history to combat climate change. I hope voters will join me in committing to support the President in New Hampshire at www.writeinbiden.com

“A once principled party of which I have worked with in the past is now an extreme group of Republicans. We’ve seen extreme Republicans in Washington and Concord try to turn back the clock on the progress that we have made over many decades. We will not let that happen,” said Hon. Jackie Weatherspoon of Exeter. “I’m committed to writing in Joe Biden during the 2024 New Hampshire Presidential Primary to defend reproductive freedom, combat hate and extremism, and restore decency and integrity in our nation.”

“Granite Staters – and young voters like me – are fired up and ready to fight for our values and our future,” said Hon. Manny Espitia, Nashua. “In 2024, that starts with writing in Joe Biden on the New Hampshire Presidential Primary ballot. Day in and day out, Joe Biden is focused on tackling the climate crisis, reducing the incredible burden of student debt, and combating gun violence.”
