Each week Anna Brown and Mike Dunbar of Citizens Count break down a New Hampshire bill that has an upcoming hearing, vote, or other opportunity for public input. Citizens Count focuses on lesser-known policy proposals that could have a big impact on the lives of Granite Staters. The show is completely nonpartisan, and the hosts give you the pros and cons from both sides. The podcast is produced by The Marlin Fitzwater Center for Communication at Franklin Pierce University and supported by The Granite State News Collaborative.

New Hampshire is famous for our “Citizen Legislature,” where representatives are paid just $100 per year plus mileage for their service. Ideally this deters candidates from running for personal gain. However, state races are gaining more attention from interest groups, and some watchdogs are sounding the alarm over the influence of money in campaigns. Here at Citizens Count, we are dedicated to providing unbiased information about New Hampshire issues and candidates, so we’ve combed through state campaign finance reports to answer the question: can you “buy” a state representative race in New Hampshire? Our analysis shows that while there is a possibility of outside influence, most state representative races in 2024 didn’t flip based on spending.
Listen as hosts Anna Brown and Mike Dunbar, of Citizens Count break it down in $100 Plus Mileage. This podcast is produced in partnership with Citizens Count, Granite State News Collaborative and The Marlin Fitzwater Center for Communications at Franklin Pierce University.
