24 HOURS OUT: Here’s What Granite Staters Need to Know About Costly Kelly
 

With less than 24 hours until polls open in New Hampshire, Granite Staters are heading to the polls with one message at the top of their mind: Costly Kelly is screwing them over. 

Everything has gotten more expensive under Costly Kelly, who has driven up costs for everything from health care to housing. 

• Costly Kelly raked in millions of dollars serving on the Board of Directors of Blackstone, the nation’s largest predatory landlord. Now she’s brought that same approach to the corner office, where she slashed millions in funding from the Housing Champions program, driving housing costs to hit their third record high under Ayotte’s failed leadership: $580,000.

• Costly Kelly raised health care costs, forcing working families to pay upwards of an additional $270 a month in new, excessive Medicaid premiums just to keep health care.

• Electricity costs have risen nearly 15% over the last year under Costly Kelly's failed leadership. And as data centers threaten to drive electric bills even higher, Costly Kelly has been cashing in on the very industry driving that demand. She was “paid to sit on the board of a company that powers data centers” and has since “rolled out the regulatory red carpet for data centers.” 

Costly Kelly has shown Granite Staters that she’s far better at enabling Trump’s chaotic and costly agenda than standing up to it. 

• Costly Kelly has repeatedly stopped short of directly criticizing Trump’s disastrous trade wars, failed to join lawsuits suing the Trump administration for their illegal tariffs, and refused to demand tariff refunds. 

• Costly Kelly refused to join 23 other states and D.C. in suing the administration to protect public health funding. Unlike the other states who joined the suit, New Hampshire’s $80 million in funding ripped away by the administration remains in Donald Trump’s hands. 

• Costly Kelly failed to join a lawsuit filed by over 20 governors and attorneys general that prevents homelessness after the Trump administration made harmful cuts to critical housing resources.

“Costly Kelly has had two years to show Granite Staters whose side she’s on, and the answer is clear: it’s not theirs,” said NHDP spokesperson Marissa Hebert. “Just look at what two years of Costly Kelly has meant for working families. Your rent is up? Too bad. Your electric bill is soaring? Tough luck. You can’t afford health care? Not her problem. Tomorrow, Granite Staters will head to the polls with one goal: it’s time to fire Costly Kelly, who’s been screwing them over.”
