Attention Independents

You don’t have to be a Democrat to help choose a Democrat.

New Hampshire has something most states don’t: hundreds of thousands of voters who refuse to wear a political label. They are undeclared voters and in the Democratic primary, they have a choice. They can take a Democratic ballot and help decide who will represent the Democratic party in the November Senate election. Then they can go right back to being undeclared. So here’s my question to New Hampshire independents: Why not use that power?

You don’t have to become a Democrat. You don’t have to agree with everything a Democrat candidate believes. And you certainly don’t have to let the Democratic part establishment decide with candidate is best for you. But before Sept. 8, hear both candidates

Karishman Manzur and Chris Pappas are asking Democratic voters for the support. Independents have the opprtunity to participate in that decision.

Don’t make your choice simply because someone tells you who is more “electable.” Don’t assume that one candidate is the only Democrat who can win in November. Listen, compare. Then decide for yourself. New Hampshire has always taken pride in its independent-minded voters. Here’s a chance to prove it.

You don’t have to be a Democrat to help choose a Democrat.
