New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan To Officially Endorse Hillary Clinton
Manchester - New Hampshire Governor
Maggie Hassan will join Hillary Clinton in Durham on
Friday to
officially
endorse Clinton for President of the United States. Clinton
and Hassan will also participate in a community forum on college
affordability together at the University of New Hampshire.
"Hillary
Clinton is the leader that New Hampshire families need fighting for
them--day in and day out--in the White House," said Governor Maggie
Hassan. "I've known Hillary for years, and I know that she is deeply
committed to making sure Granite State families get ahead and have the
support they need to stay ahead. Whether it's through her comprehensive
plan to make college more affordable for our students, her
multi-pronged approach to combating substance abuse, or her unwavering
commitment to protecting access
to reproductive health care for women, all Granite Staters have a
champion in Hillary Clinton. I am proud to endorse Hillary Clinton for
President of the United States, and hope that Granite State families
will join me as we work toward a brighter tomorrow."
"I
am so grateful to have the support of a strong, pragmatic, and
inspirational leader like Governor Hassan," said Hillary Clinton. "I
have drawn inspiration from her leadership on making
college more affordable, combating
substance abuse, helping innovative businesses create the jobs
of tomorrow,
making strides towards ending gender pay discrimination, and protecting
access to affordable health care for everyone--not just those who can
afford it. I hope that Friday's forum on
college affordability is the beginning of a partnership, during which
Governor Hassan and I will fight for the families of New Hampshire for
years to come."
Governor
Hassan joins a growing list of strong supporters backing Hillary
Clinton, including Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Congresswoman Annie Kuster,
former New Hampshire House Speaker Terie Norelli, American Federation
of Teachers New Hampshire, and the National Education Association New
Hampshire.

NHGOP STATEMENT ON HASSAN ENDORSING CLINTON
Concord -
New
Hampshire
Republican State Committee Chairman Jennifer Horn today
released the following statement regarding Governor Hassan's
endorsement of Hillary Clinton for President:
"Governor
Hassan's
support
for
Hillary Clinton is the latest in a string of
establishment endorsements by Democrat Party insiders attempting to
coronate Washington's handpicked candidate. This is a desperate attempt
by the Hillary Clinton campaign to manufacture
phony momentum as her
numbers continue to plummet in New Hampshire and
nationally. The efforts by New Hampshire Democrat Party
leaders to
force an unpopular candidate on Granite State voters does a disservice
to New Hampshire's First-in-the-Nation presidential primary's
grassroots tradition. It's clear that the fix is in for Hillary Clinton
and DNC Chairman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and DNC Vice Chairman Raymond
Buckley are in the bag for Hillary Clinton and doing
everything possible to limit Democrat debates."
Just
today,
a
WBUR poll showed Hillary Clinton losing to Bernie Sanders in
New Hampshire, the sixth straight poll with
the
same
results.
