End Citizens United and Let America Vote (ECU // LAV), two leading national organizations fighting against the influence of big money in politics, have officially endorsed Joyce Craig in her bid to become the next governor of New Hampshire.

“Joyce Craig is running for governor to put New Hampshire back on the side of working families,” said Tiffany Muller, President of ECU // LAV. “Throughout her career, Joyce has proven to be a tireless advocate for the issues that matter most—protecting voting rights, defending reproductive freedom, and taking meaningful action on climate change. We are proud to stand with her and look forward to helping her secure victory in November.”

Craig expressed her gratitude for the endorsement and emphasized her commitment to restoring integrity and trust in New Hampshire’s political system. 

“For too long, New Hampshire’s broken campaign finance laws have allowed politicians to undermine the will of the people,” Craig said. “As governor, I will work to ensure that our government is truly representative of the people, and that power remains where it belongs—in the hands of New Hampshire’s citizens.”

During her tenure as mayor, Craig has been a champion for expanding access to the ballot box. Under her leadership, Manchester implemented electronic voting checklists, modernized voting machines, and translated voting materials into multiple languages to better serve the city’s diverse population. Her administration also spearheaded voter registration drives in underrepresented communities and ensured that senior living facilities were fully engaged in the absentee voting process.

Craig’s platform includes a strong focus on reforming New Hampshire’s campaign finance system. She has pledged to close loopholes that currently allow owners of multiple LLCs to contribute up to $15,000 per entity, a practice she argues distorts the democratic process and erodes public trust.
