Power up NH: More Energy, Lower Costs
Join Americans for Prosperity-New Hampshire for an energizing event focused on unleashing reliable, affordable energy for Granite Staters!
New Hampshire families and businesses are facing high electricity bills driven by regional grid constraints in ISO-New England, rising demand from data centers and AI, and policies that limit supply. It’s time to cut the red tape and embrace innovative solutions that deliver more power at lower costs.
At this event, we’ll explore the promise of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and next-generation nuclear technology: safe, scalable, carbon-free energy that can power our grid, support economic growth, and stabilize prices without the massive footprints of traditional plants. We’ll discuss how innovation in nuclear and other reliable sources can meet growing energy needs while reducing reliance on volatile regional markets. And we’ll cover practical steps to streamline permitting, reduce regulatory barriers, and foster competition to bring down energy costs for every household and employer in the state.
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!
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!
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.
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.
