AFP-NH’s Fixing Healthcare 101
Join AFP-NH for an in-depth look at why healthcare costs continue to rise in the Granite State, making care less affordable for families, small businesses, and taxpayers. We’ll break down how the current healthcare system works including the impacts of regulations, mandates, limited competition, and government involvement; and explore the real drivers behind high premiums, out-of-pocket costs, and provider shortages.
Our panel will discuss practical solutions the NH Legislature can pursue to increase transparency, reduce unnecessary barriers, promote competition, and empower patients and providers. Learn how free-market principles and targeted reforms can make quality care more accessible and affordable without expanding government control.
This is your opportunity to understand the issues and learn how to advocate for policies that put patients first. Open to all Granite Staters concerned about rising healthcare costs. Q&A session at the very end.

AFP-NH’s Energy 101
Join AFP-NH for a discussion on why Granite State families and businesses face some of the highest energy costs in New England. We’ll examine the real reasons behind rising electricity rates, heating costs, and fuel prices: including the impacts of state and federal regulations, renewable energy mandates, permitting delays, limited infrastructure, and restrictions on reliable energy sources.
Learn how NH’s energy system actually operates. From power generation and transmission to rate-setting by regulators; and why top-down policies often drive up costs while threatening reliability. Our panel will focus on practical solutions the New Hampshire Legislature can implement right now: cutting red tape on infrastructure projects, reforming mandates that increase consumer costs, promoting all-of-the-above energy development, increasing competition, and prioritizing affordability and reliability over unrealistic climate targets.
This event will equip you with the knowledge to hold lawmakers accountable and advocate for policies that put NH families and employers first. Q&A session at the end of the panel.
Dinner and a drink will be provided by AFP-NH

Take Action
Thank Governor Ayotte for Vetoing HB 451- The Paint Tax
HB 451 was legislation to create a paint tax on every can of paint sold in NH. Instead of letting families decide how to handle leftover paint, it forces everyone to pay more at the register to fund a new government-mandated program.
At a time when costs are already high, the last thing Granite Staters need is another tax disguised as a fee.
Sign to thank Governor Ayotte for vetoing HB 451!
Say NO to HB 1602: Hidden Battery Tax
This bill forces battery companies into a government-run “stewardship” program and makes them cover all the costs. Those costs don’t disappear, they get passed straight to us through higher prices on batteries, toys, tools, flashlights, and countless other products we buy every day.
Send a personal appeal urging House Finance Committee members to reject the battery tax, HB 1602! This bill is a tax disguised as a “stewardship program” that will, if passed, increase prices for batteries and everyday products, adding unnecessary costs to families already facing high prices.
Thank Senators for SB 101, Sign Now!
On January 7, 2026, the New Hampshire Senate delivered a major win for families by passing Senate Bill 101 with a successful Ought to Pass motion, advancing open enrollment so parents can choose any public school in the state for their child, free from zip code restrictions or arbitrary district lines. By signing this petition, you’ll add your name to a heartfelt thank-you email that will be sent to supportive senators. Your signature joins thousands of Granite State parents, families, and activists in celebrating this step toward parental empowerment, greater equity in education, and stronger public schools for every child. Together, we’re saying thank you for standing with New Hampshire families and helping make education freedom a reality!
Support HB 1268 – The Home Education Freedom Act!
This common-sense bill removes outdated, intrusive requirements that force homeschooling parents to jump through unnecessary hoops: mandatory notifications just to start homeschooling, compulsory annual assessments, and extra paperwork that treats caring parents like they need government permission to teach their own children.
Urge Representatives to support HB 1268, the “Home Education Freedom Act.” It highlights how the bill removes burdensome notification, assessment, and paperwork requirements for homeschooling families, restores parental authority, and reduces unnecessary government involvement while still allowing optional participation in public school programs or assessments.
