Let America Vote Statement on Victory of Kevin Cavanaugh in New Hampshire

Kansas City, MO — Let America Vote President Jason Kander released the following statement after Kevin Cavanaugh won the special election today in New Hampshire’s 16th State Senate District:

“Now more than ever, we need progressive fighters like Kevin Cavanaugh that will stand up to voter suppression. His victory tonight goes to show that folks are paying close attention to the Republicans in Concord who are stripping away rights from eligible voters, and they wanted to send someone who would fight against legislation like Senate Bill 3 instead of support it. Kevin Cavanaugh deserves this hard-fought victory, and at Let America Vote we were very proud to support him.”

Let America Vote supported Kevin Cavanaugh’s candidacy with digital advertising.

Let America Vote launched in February 2017 to fight back against proposals across the country that make it harder for eligible voters to exercise their constitutional right to cast a ballot. Whether it’s extreme identification requirements, questionable purges of voter rolls, voter intimidation, new and extreme voter registration processes, or anything that makes voting harder, Let America Vote will be there to lead the way against it. Its president is Jason Kander, the former Missouri Secretary of State.
