Climate Fellowships Summer, 2010: New Hampshire Climate Action Campaign

Working closely with other state environmentalists and under the direction of CA-CP, this Fellow will influence the response to and point of view of Republican candidates and activists throughout New Hampshire on the issue of climate change in advance of the state primary on September 14th. This work is especially important as prospective candidates for the Republican nomination for President will be in the state during this period of time, setting the groundwork for retail-level campaigning in advance of the 2012 presidential primary. The fellow will have the opportunity to extend his or her placement for a second six-week term through the primary.

Specifically, the fellow will generate a fresh list of Republican NH residents whose opinions comport with all or some of CA-CP positions on climate policy. He or she will develop contacts and relationships between CA-CP and likely presidential candidates as well as influential NH Republicans. Measureable results with respect to number of face to face meetings, LTEs, visible and robust discussions within the blogosphere, and a cadre of volunteers who wish to meet presidential candidates on this issue are desired.
