<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites.Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page. Some common options for donation processing include:<ul><li><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ActBlue</a></li><li><a href="https://www.campaigndeputy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Campaign Deputy</a> </li><li><a href="https://goodchange.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">GoodChange</a></li><li><a href="https://numero.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Numero</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ngpvan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NGP VAN</a></li></ul>

He went on to serve 20 years in the United States Navy, where he developed deep expertise in personnel management, leadership, and the unique challenges facing military families. His military career took him far from home, but it was in Manchester, New Hampshire where he put down roots and built his life.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/0ec501af-9160-4312-bc6e-a75c24fed15e/ee656c77-607d-4716-b610-27ca0576b5a3/ee656c77-607d-4716-b610-27ca0576b5a3.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C3024%2C4032&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="30" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">After retiring from the Navy, Leonard pursued his own education at Southern New Hampshire University, earning a Master of Education. That experience—navigating college as a veteran—gave him a firsthand understanding of the obstacles service members face when transitioning to civilian life. He channeled that experience into a career at SNHU, where he has served as an Academic Advisor, Career Advising Team Lead, and Adjunct Faculty Instructor, helping countless veterans and military families achieve their educational and professional goals.Throughout his career, Leonard has been known as a communicator, a mentor, and a steady presence for those who need guidance. At home, he is equally grounded—a devoted family man whose commitment to the people he loves mirrors his commitment to the broader community around him. He brings to everything he does the discipline forged over two decades of military service, paired with the empathy and warmth of someone who knows that family is the foundation of any strong community.Leonard Bell believes that service doesn't end when you take off the uniform. It is a lifelong calling, and one he is ready to bring to the people of Manchester.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/0ec501af-9160-4312-bc6e-a75c24fed15e/fff1c67d-b841-4171-85a4-e26570042845/fff1c67d-b841-4171-85a4-e26570042845.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C1928%2C1600&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="50" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">

Young couples, working families, and recent graduates are being priced out of Manchester and Litchfield. Leonard has watched neighbors, friends, and even his own family struggle to find housing they can afford. He is committed to finding real, practical solutions that keep New Hampshire families rooted in their communities and give first-time buyers a real shot at homeownership.

Housing

Education is the foundation of opportunity. From early childhood programs to college affordability, Leonard wants every child in Manchester and Litchfield to have access to the same quality resources and teachers, regardless of their neighborhood or background. Having taught in Manchester elementary schools, earned his Master of Education, and spent over a decade advising students at SNHU, Leonard knows the system from the inside, and knows exactly where it's falling short.

Education

Property taxes in New Hampshire are too high: plain and simple. Families who have worked hard to own their homes shouldn't be taxed out of them. Seniors on fixed incomes, young families just getting started, and working people across Manchester are all feeling the burden. Leonard believes in keeping more money in the pockets of the people who earned it, and will fight to lower the property tax burden on New Hampshire families..
