Op-Ed: Congress Must Intervene to Stop Imperialist Trump
"When it comes to Trump's invasion of Venezuela, his abduction of Maduro, his promise to “run” Venezuela, and his newly coined “Don-roe Doctrine,” we’re seeing nakedly imperial ambition premised on the idea that “might makes right.” It is emblematic of the very worst moments in the history of the U.S. empire, and it weakens the power and potential of democracy both here and abroad."
Supporting Term Limits
Term limits alone won’t address the corruption crisis plaguing American politics. We also need to restore campaign finance laws that limit the pernicious impact of big money on our political system and close the revolving door that allows former legislators to make millions lobbying their former colleagues.
Carleigh’s Statement on President Trump’s Attack on Venezuela
Donald Trump’s attack on Venezuela does not make the United States safer and it sets a dangerous precedent for dictators and aspiring autocrats around the world. As Mark Twain wrote: "America cannot have an empire abroad and a Republic at home."
2025 Recap: 10,648 Miles Later, What Have I Learned?
Since launching this campaign, I’ve put 10,648 miles on my car. We’ve spent time in 40 of the 75 towns in New Hampshire’s First District and been welcomed into libraries, daycares, breweries, church basements, and living rooms. And all of the most meaningful moments of this campaign have happened offline with real people who want to be heard and to help make our country more fair, our politics less toxic, and our lives better.
Guest Post: Volunteer Martha Corcoran - “I Cannot Be Silent”
The more I learn about Carleigh, the more I identify with her. You see, Carleigh listens she really listens, and she always makes sure to ask how other people feel about things. Carleigh knows how to serve people, in local government and here in our neighborhood. Carleigh is caring, and kind, and those adjectives are sorely lacking in our politicians. I like that she is focused on the kinds of things that matter to people like me—people who care. She cares about the climate, she cares about children and their schools and families.
This Election is about Trust
If we can reshape the institutions that give shape to our activism and organizing, then we will be better equipped to build that same trust and respect with voters, not just in the next cycle, but for years to come.
Putting the Brakes on Automobile Air Pollution
Federal laws like the Clean Air Act have driven major improvements by setting tough vehicle emissions standards, encouraging cleaner technologies, and holding states accountable. Real progress depends on electing leaders who will stand up for these protections.
When I get to Washington, I will:
fight to defend and strengthen our air quality and emissions standards,
advocate for policies that address the public health problems stemming from air pollution,
hold auto companies accountable,
and keep the public informed.
Work Doesn’t Work Without Quality Childcare
Last week, I toured a childcare facility in Rochester with its Executive Director, Cora-Lynn Hoppe, and Family Service Coordinator, Anne Grassie—wife of Rochester’s new mayor, Chuck. It was a beautiful day, and it reminded me of why I first ran for office in Hampton: without real support from our elected leaders, the everyday costs of living are harming our families and communities who need it most.
Video: “Carleigh Beriont says she’ll fight to break up Big Tech in Congress”
I sat down with Adam Sexton of WMUR Channel 9 to discuss my plans to regulate and break up Big Tech, my decision to avoid social media; the government shutdown and the fight for health care policy changes; what Democrats should do if they win the majority in Congress in 2026; the immigration issue; and the Trump administration’s airstrikes in the Caribbean.
Guest Post: Volunteer Joel Iwaskiewicz - “Hope from Our Fridge”
On our fridge, we keep a reminder of why we love Carleigh. Her campaign postcards are pinned to the refrigerator door with our children's "learn to read" magnets. It only makes sense that the words we see next to Carleigh's picture every day are terms that describe her to a tee: "teacher for us," "blue mom," and - most simply and perfectly - "good."
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.
