Switchboard
603 Forward’s NEW central intake process for candidates running for New Hampshire State Representative in 2026.
Switchboard is a centralized database that provides participating organizations with easy access to candidate bios for individuals running for New Hampshire State Representative. By sharing basic background information, Switchboard makes it simple for organizations to connect with and support the next generation of leaders. Joining Switchboard means your organization can stay informed, build relationships with candidates, and work towards shaping a more reflective and engaged democracy in New Hampshire.
The goal of the Switchboard is to centralize the intake of basic candidate information for both participating organizations and candidates:
For Organizations: It reduces duplicative questions across organizations’ questionnaires (so it is more efficient and less repetitive for candidates filling them out). For endorsing organizations, it allows them to focus their endorsement questionnaires on the org's issues and priorities. For non-endorsing organizations, it provides insights into candidate values alignment and information sharing.
For Candidates: It reduces the burden on candidates when completing questionnaires and eliminates duplication. It also enables candidates to build relationships with more organizations.
To join Switchboard as a Participating Organization, you must sign and complete the 2026 Participating Organization Agreement form and send a signed copy to Beck@603forward.org.
The official launch of Switchboard will be Sunday, May 31, 2026 at 603 Forward’s Ready, Set, Lead event, our culminating State House candidate training.
