I have come to know Caitlin Rollo in her role as an effective and gifted grassroots organizer for the Democrats in New Hampshire. Caitlin has served in many leadership roles at the local committee level throughout the State and is currently an officer on the Executive Committee of the NHDP. Her role as an Organizational Development Specialist for the National Education Association is at the heart of the Democratic platform and values. The NEA is a critical partner of our Party. What has always impressed me about Caitlin is her accountability, compassion, and drive to get things done. Whether it is providing a state-wide analysis of each race for State House candidates, helping local committees and caucuses achieve operational effectiveness, or providing her expertise in content generation and outreach, Caitlin has always been responsive with answers that reflect her deep knowledge and experience at all levels of the political spectrum. In addition, she is well-connected with many Democrats at the local, state, and national levels. It is for these reasons that I have chosen to support Caitlin Rollo for First Vice-Chair of the NHDP. 

Walter King: Chair, Strafford County Democratic Committee

 I had the pleasure of working with Caitlin Rollo in the Blue Hampshire listening sessions in 2020. Caitlin took the time to get to know each of the members of this committee so that she knew how to work with us and help gather the copious amount of information into a useful report. It was a massive undertaking, and something she did with skill and talent. Caitlin is organized, she is a detail fanatic as I am sure people are aware from her time as the NHDP Treasurer. Her skill at communicating with people is outstanding. She is an Organizational Specialist - this is what she does. She brings people together, uniting them and helping them to work together, which is just the medicine the democrats need right now. Having had the opportunity to work with Caitlin was a lesson on how she can help unite the democrats and help us to move forward in a challenging time. 

Ann Heffernon: Former secretary, vice-chair and chair of the Cheshire County Democrats

 I've known Caitlin Rollo for a little over ten years now, and her dedication to the NHDP has always been impressive. Her background, experience, deep roots with the NHDP, and commitment to winning elections all over the state and all over the ballot make her the perfect choice for vice chair. 

Hon. Tim Smith: Former State Rep, Manchester

 I have known Cait for decades, first as a hardworking Democratic colleague in the House. Then, as an equally hardworking employee of the State House Visitors Center, where her knowledge of and enthusiasm for NH history was readily apparent and finally in her current professional role as Organizational Specialist for the National Education Association, and latterly as NHDP Treasurer. In all these roles, her intelligence, deep empathy, personal warmth, and loyalty to both her friends and our common ideals have been self-evident. For these reasons, and many others, I endorse her candidacy with pride and enthusiasm. 

Hon. David Cote: NH House Democratic Leader, 2021-2023

 Both candidates for First Vice-Chair are incredible assets to our state party, and after the election all of us will need to put our various talents to work seamlessly if we are going to escape our desperate situation. I’ve chosen to support Caitlin Rollo due to her decades of organizing experience. I spent the previous two years organizing new local parties in small towns, and what I found everywhere were passionate, brilliant, powerful people who had never been shown the door to participating directly in politics. Everywhere, people yearning for a better world, willing to work against long odds, to sacrifice their days, evenings, weekends to protect their friends, their children and grandchildren. Unlocking those people, channeling the rising wave of resistance into formal politics that offers something real rather than the wasteland of transient protest movements and social media activism - that’s the opportunity of a generation. Caitlin Rollo is the best choice to meet that opportunity. 

David Bates: Warner Town Chair

 As chair of the Upper Valley Democrats, and currently as chair of the Grafton County Dems, I have been working with Caitlin and attending her trainings on political organizing, at the local, regional and county level for many years. The bottom line is Caitlin knows how to get things done. She has a vision, a strategy and a concrete plan. She articulates it clearly, lays out each step with an attainable goal, and most importantly of all knows how to build coalitions and trust within the community. She asks the tough questions and strengthens partnerships to find solutions. Caitlin’s influence goes beyond the borders of the county and the state, which is why I think she would be an excellent ambassador for the NHDP as first vice chair. She has a long history of working within the New Hampshire Democratic Party beginning when she was elected as a state representative for Manchester at the age of 20. She knows our state. She recently completed two year as NHDP treasurer and understands the party structure and where there need to be changes. Caitlin has worked with other state teams beyond New Hampshire’s borders and has helped them build strong, sustainable cultures for political action. This is something I feel we need here in New Hampshire. It is clear given results of the past five elections we need change and I believe Caitlin can be instrumental in making that change. She has my vote. 

Ann Garland: Chair, Grafton County Democrats

 Most people active in the NHDP know Caitlin and many grass roots organizers in the state do as well. That’s because at one point or another it would have been suggested that they contact her for advice, help, or ideas outside of the box to solve a problem. Caitlin always responds with a “yes” and her track record proves the many positive contributions she has made. A team player and collaboratve leader , she would be an excellent First Vice Chair to work with the democratic groups across the state. I’m excited she is running and pleased to endorse her candidacy.
