For Easthampton Mayor Nicole LaChapelle, the vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in Tuesday’s presidential election is personal.

“My mom fought for reproductive rights. I did. My daughter did,” LaChapelle said. “Now I have a granddaughter who’s 18 months old, and I’ll be damned if she’s fighting this same fight.”

After the overturning of Roe. v Wade, the right to abortion access was left to the states. Former president and Republican nominee Donald Trump called the flood of state-level restrictions on abortions “a beautiful thing to watch.” For many young women, abortion has emerged as a key election issue.

That’s why LaChapelle is campaigning in New Hampshire. She said as mayor, 16,000 residents in Easthampton look to her to be their leader and advocate for them.

“So I can stay in Massachusetts and feel very comfortable in my blue bubble here, but it’s not about Massachusetts,” LaChapelle said. “New Hampshire is a state of conversation.”

This comes as politicians from across Massachusetts have been campaigning for the Democratic nominee. Gov. Maura Healey campaigned in Pennsylvania, as did U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu campaigned in New Hampshire.

Efforts to reach local Republican organizations, as well as the Republican State Committee, seeking to connect with local residents who are campaigning out of state in support of Trump, have been unsuccessful in the past week.

Henry Hardy, who is retired and lives in Greenfield, said he knew he had to go to a swing state. He was considering Georgia and Pennsylvania, and ultimately decided on Pittsburgh. After packing his bags, he said goodbye to his wife and dogs for a month and settled into his new home.

“It’s just one of the benefits of being retired,” Hardy said.

Hardy canvasses for Harris’ campaign daily. He’s been doing it since he got to Pittsburgh on Oct. 9 and he plans to stay until the election.

He said about 80% of the doors he knocks on, nobody answers.

“So many people aren’t home or don’t answer the door,” Hardy said. “I know canvassing matters, and so you just kind of have to keep telling yourself that.”

However, Hardy said it’s been inspiring to talk with people and that he’s been “marinating in the election” in a way he wouldn’t be back in Massachusetts. He said his understanding of Republican voters is “deepening.”

“I’m learning some things from what Republicans are thinking and what the key issues are likely to be in the election,” Hardy said.

Some canvassers brought their kids with them.

“A little boy … he was 8, 9 years old and he was knocking on doors with his mom and his grandma and he was telling folks why Vice President Harris is his candidate,” LaChapelle said. “This kid was completely engaged.

“I wasn’t thinking about the presidential elections when I was 8 or 9, I was thinking about kickball,” she added.

Elizabeth Silver, vice chair of the Northampton Democratic City Committee, has been campaigning for Harris as well as for other hopeful electors in various battleground states. She’s been in New Hampshire, Montana and is now in North Carolina.

She said the strategy has been different in every state. She’s a veteran campaigner, ever since 1968 when Eugene McCarthy ran for president.

Silver said she’s still encountering undecided voters and when speaking with these voters, it’s important to objectively present facts as well as nonpartisan information.

However, she said some people are tired of hearing from canvassers.

“As you get closer to the election, they’re getting saturated with ads, with calls, with mailings,” Silver said. “They’re getting tired. That, to me, is a good sign because that means the important voters that we want to reach, have been being reached.”
