What We Do

What are state lawmakers doing that affects your daily life?

Lots! Front Door Politics is here to explain it — with jargon-free, non-advocacy State House reporting.

Daily Dispatch

Keep up with top stories and find out what people aren’t talking about, but should be. Veteran NH political reporter Michael McCord leads us through the day-to-day business at the State House and translates it into language we can all understand, with a special focus on upcoming public meetings that — in one way or another — will shape your future.

Topical Reports

Take a deeper look at the issues one-by-one with our topical reports, which you can find by searching the “Our Reporting” tab above. This is where we scour the legislative calendars to track down and dig into the stories behind laws that really hit home.

Online Learning Center

If you’re not completely clear on how state government works, you’re in good company. Our Online Learning Center is built to get people new to politics up to speed. Front Door Politics helps even veteran news junkies understand how the system operates. Here you can find:

  • a working glossary of legislative terms
  • a primer on how a bill becomes a law in the Granite State
  • committee lists
  • find-your-representative tools
  • statewide resources to turn your interest into action

And this is just the beginning!

Want to know something about how government works? Your questions will help us build this valuable public resource.
