[Lnc-business] Motion to Allocate a contribution for the reelection of New Hampshire Legislators -requesting co-sponsors

[Elizabeth Van Horn]

Justin, I'd be happy to co-sponsor and support your motion.

As several others have mentioned, there's now a committee that starts 
the process, for consideration for providing funds.

Please look into what process the Candidate Support Committee has for 
on-boarding candidates for consideration.

This process is new, so I'd recommend reaching out to the Candidate 
Support Committee Chair, Sam Goldstein, (Or others on that committee) to 
see how to get things rolling.
