Supporting New Hampshire’s Small Businesses
I’m proud of the small businesses that make up our towns. They are run by our neighbors, bring people together, and reflect the creativity and character of each community.
Standing in Solidarity With Starbucks Workers
From Seabrook Crossing to Stratham and Epping, baristas are organizing their stores and demanding dignity at work. I’ll always stand with workers pushing for justice on the job.
Elder Care in the Granite State
Everyone deserves to move through life with dignity. That includes having access to healthcare, affordable housing, and the support needed to age healthily and safely. In New Hampshire, we talk a lot about independence and taking care of our own, but many elderly Granite Staters are struggling to get the care they need.
Transgender Day of Remembrance 2025
Today, on Trans Day of Remembrance, we pause to honor the memory of the transgender people whose lives have been cut short.
NO to Nuclear Weapons Testing
The President’s recent calls to resume testing threaten to drag us back into a dangerous era—a time when spectacle trumped responsibility and the supposed needs of national security justified incalculable human and environmental costs. There is no scientific or strategic need to resume testing.
Guest Post: Volunteer Ginger Hankins - “Finding the Hope and Joy”
Volunteer Ginger Hankins shares her story of getting involved with Carleigh’s campaign, and invites you to get involved as well!
“I had lost the hope and joy I felt last summer when I knocked on over 2000 doors here in Carroll County. Thanks to the Carleigh Beriont campaign for helping me reclaim that hope and joy. “
Video: Carleigh Reacts to Shaheen and Hassan’s Shutdown Deal with GOP
Carleigh spoke to Adam Sexton from WMUR News 9 about the deal Senators Shaheen and Hassan struck with the GOP to end the government shutdown. She expressed her frustration with a government, open or closed, that doesn’t work for working people, and asked leaders to “zoom out” and look at the way federal workers have been attacked and belittled throughout the last ten months.
Statement from Carleigh Beriont on the Re-opening of the Federal Government
Last night the Senate voted to reopen the government. I think it is a mistake to do so without a guarantee to protect healthcare for millions of Americans.
Let’s not pretend the reopening of the government is evidence that our government is working for working people. Even if Democrats are able to salvage subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, our healthcare system is profoundly broken.
Listening, Learning, and Building On-Ramps
Last night, Carleigh attended a listening session at the University of New Hampshire, organized by State Rep. Loren Selig and UNH students. Both in-state and out-of-state students showed up to share what’s on their minds — from the cost of education to the cost of staying in New Hampshire after graduation. Students talked about friends who left the state because college was more affordable elsewhere and about how hard it is to picture building a future here when housing and basic living costs feel out of reach. They also shared something that resonated deeply: a desire for feedback loops with their elected officials and real conversations about what’s being done — not just what can’t be done because of gridlock in Concord.Last night, Carleigh attended a UNH student listening session.
Letter to the Editor: Recent food bank lines reminder of neighbors’ struggles
While food insecurity is often invisible, it’s everywhere. It’s a symptom of systemic challenges — rising costs, stagnant wages, unexpected emergencies, and federal programs under threat just when they're needed most.
October IRL Recap
Carleigh is continuing to show up across the district—listening, learning, and finding joy in the conversations that give hope and purpose to this work.
Democracy isn’t dead yet! (a.k.a. “It’s just a flesh wound!”)
Carleigh joined the Seacoast Indivisible chapter for a pro-democracy protest on the day after Halloween. The organizer, Sue, had a great piece of advice for anyone planning a visibility: “You don’t need a lot of people if you have costumes!”
Video: Because it is right.
I’m introducing myself to you tonight, and I’m asking you to believe in me. And more than that, I’m asking you to believe in us. I’m asking you to believe in the parents, the teachers, the organizers, the volunteers, the people who build our communities and who have continued to keep them strong.
We don’t do it for the money. We don’t do it for the glory. We do it because it is right.
Get Out the Vote
This past Sunday, I knocked doors for Manchester municipal candidates. Hitting the doors reaffirmed that the strength of our democracy doesn’t come from Washington or our leaders— it comes from us. From neighbors who take time out of their weekend to talk about what’s happening in their community and those who care enough to ask questions and listen.
Video: “What do we want?” Midterm Convention Speech
We do want healthcare for everyone, from birth until death. We want to be able to afford to raise our kids, take care of our parents, and retire. We want to be safe in our homes and have time to volunteer in our communities. To speak up and be heard—to feel like the protests, the picnics, the donations, and door knocking and postcard-writing makes a difference. To know that our leaders in Washington, in Concord, and in this room are listening and accountable to us.
No Kings
Attending the No Kings protest yesterday was a powerful reminder of what democracy looks like when people show up for one another. Amid the noise and dysfunction, it was pure joy to see folks from all walks of life standing shoulder to shoulder— proof that community and connection thrive offline, and that democracy works better when we’re all part of it.
Video: Youʼre the Greatest Parents in the World
Carleigh got her start in politics with a baby on her hip and another on the way, so she always makes a point to acknowledge and celebrate the parents who make the effort to stay engaged and bring their children along with them to picnics, protests, union halls, and church basements where people gather to share good food and work to make the world a better place.
Statement in Support of Proposed NHDP Constitutional Amendments
“I support the proposed amendments to the NHDP Constitution proposed by the Rules Committee.”
Video: Letʼs Talk Merrimack Interview
Carleigh joined Mary Beth Raven in the Letʼs Talk Merrimack studio to talk about affordable childcare, Medicare for All, and the potential for bipartisan cooperation to address the housing crisis.
404Media.co: Can You Win a Congressional Seat Without Social Media?
“We're seeing people, pouring fuel on partisan fires and preaching to the choirs, and they're doing that to raise more money, and it's not winning over anybody, and it's not helping to de-escalate the situation that we're in right now. And I think that it's frankly making us a lot less safe, because instead of actually holding social media corporations accountable for what they're posting online, which they could be doing, they're choosing not to do that.”
