WEDNESDAY: Former Executive Councilor Debora Pignatelli To Endorse Hillary Clinton, Kick-Off Women for Hillary Phone Bank


Nashua - Former Executive Councilor Debora Pignatelli will launch a phone bank on Wednesday, September 30th at 6 pm ET in Nashua, where she will officially endorse Hillary Clinton for President of the United States. Pignatelli, a long-time elected official and one of the state's leading female voices during her tenure as Executive Councilor, will speak to grassroots volunteers about the ways Hillary Clinton will fight for women and families in the White House. This phone bank is one of Hillary for New Hampshire's 30 Women for Hillary events in 30 days statewide push.   

“One of the presidential candidates has adopted the slogan, ‘Make America Great Again,’  but Hillary knows that America is already great," said former Executive Councilor Debora Pignatelli.  "She wants to make it better by fighting to give women and working families more opportunities, by protecting our environment, and by giving people forced to live in the shadows the chance to succeed.”
 
Starting in September, Hillary for New Hampshire began hosting 30 Women for Hillary events in 30 days as part of the campaign's effort to engage voters, supporters, and volunteers, to take part in the campaign. Across the state the campaign is building the lasting relationships through one-on-one meetings and small gatherings that power successful Democratic campaigns in the Granite State.
Hillary Clinton has fought for women and girls her entire career. As president, Clinton will protect funding for Planned Parenthood, and will fight Republicans who are trying to make it harder for women to access affordable health care including birth control. She will fight to ensure America finally guarantees paid family leave, allowing Americans to take care of a new baby or a sick relative without losing their paycheck or their job. And she will fight to ensure that women receive equal pay. This will strengthen America’s families by helping women and their families get ahead. 

Hillary Clinton launched Women for Hillary at a rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on September 5th. In the following weeks, she has been endorsed by strong New Hampshire women leaders, including Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Governor Maggie Hassan, Congresswoman Annie Kuster, and former New Hampshire House Speaker Terie Norelli. In a sign of building momentum over the past two weeks, Clinton also earned the support of progressive leader Dean Barker, State Senator Dan Feltes, several former Obama Co-Chairs, the National Education Association New Hampshire, the American Federation of Teachers New Hampshire, the New England Regional Council of Carpenters Local 118, as well as other grassroots leaders, federal, state and local elected officials and civic leaders.
