Dear Hunter,

As you may know, Save the Children Action Network has been the exclusive sponsor of WMUR-TV’s Conversation with the Candidate program in Manchester, New Hampshire. Our investment includes television and digital advertising around the program, but perhaps most importantly, it gives us a venue to engage presidential candidates directly and elevate our two campaign issues, early childhood education and maternal, newborn and child survival.

I was in Manchester yesterday when former Florida Governor Jeb Bush taped the program, the 10th candidate to do so – nine Republicans and one running as a Democrat. Our advocates asked the governor questions on early childhood education and maternal and child survival. Governor Bush gave thoughtful answers to questions on both issues. We will continue to engage with him on these issues, as we will with all the candidates.

Getting candidates on record is an important part of our strategy and WMUR has proven a great vehicle for beginning those conversations. Already, we have heard Senator Rand Paul, who said, “I’m a big believer in early childhood learning and development.” Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont said he believes we must invest significantly in early childhood education because ages 0 to 4 “are the most important years of our lives.” Businesswoman Carly Fiorina said we should invest in preschool to “make sure that every child, no matter where they are, has the opportunity to learn.”

Senator Lindsey Graham said we should invest more to prevent maternal and child deaths around the world. “I’m a conservative Republican but I believe in leading this world,” he said. “I believe that when America helps a child in Africa, it will come back to bless us all.”

If you are in New Hampshire, you can watch Governor Bush's appearance next Friday, May 29, at 7 p.m. on WMUR, Channel 9. For those not in New Hampshire, and to watch any of the previous interviews online, go to www.wmur.com/politics/conversation-with-the-candidate (https://t.e2ma.net/click/9ytse/h9ytd/lgngic).

We are following up with each of these candidates’ campaign teams to formalize their positions on early childhood education and maternal and child survival. Rest assured that they will hear from us frequently, particularly as they travel through the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. SCAN’s activists are primed to ensure that these two issues get the attention they deserve.

I will keep you posted on our efforts but if you have any thoughts or questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to call or email.

Many thanks, as always, for your support. Best wishes for a safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend!

Warmly,

Mark
