UPDATED: What We’ve Built: Elizabeth Warren Enters Primary with Widest, Deepest Coalition of Granite State Support
More than 690
New Hampshire elected officials, party leaders,
political activists, and community leaders will vote for Elizabeth today
Manchester, NH –
The
day
of the First in the Nation Primary, the grassroots movement for
big, structural change in the Granite State is in full swing.
Elizabeth has built the widest and deepest coalition of Granite State support in the 2020 presidential field, bringing together all corners of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, newly engaged Granite Staters, Republicans and Independents, and those who previously supported a different party behind her vision for ending corruption, and ensuring our government works for everyone – not just those at the top.
Today, Co-Chair of New Hampshire Democratic Party Senior Caucus Pam Jorgensen, who had previously endorsed Senator Kamala Harris for president, announced her support for Elizabeth. Brenda Bailey Lett, African-American Caucus Chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, also announced her support. Colin Van Ostern 2016 Democratic nominee for Governor, and former Executive Councilor, also endorsed Elizabeth.
“New Hampshire seniors need a President who will fight for them. From her plan to strengthen Social Security to her commitment, to using all the tools the President has to lower prescription drug costs, to her many plans to invest in future generations – I know Elizabeth will fight for me, and all of the families in our country,” said Jorgensen. “She is the best candidate to take on Trump – and the one I want to see in the White House.”
Last week, New Hampshire State Senator Cindy Rosenwald and Judy Reardon also announced their support for Elizabeth, joining a broad coalition of elected officials, party leaders, political activists, and community leaders who are supporting Elizabeth in the primary.
Below is the full list of Elizabeth’s New Hampshire endorsements – each one a part of Elizabeth’s grassroots movement for big, structural change.

What We’ve Built: Elizabeth Warren Enters Primary with Widest, Deepest Coalition of Granite State Support
More
than 685 New Hampshire elected officials, party leaders,
political activists, and community leaders will vote for Elizabeth on
February 11th
Manchester, NH – With less than a week remaining before the First in the Nation Primary, the grassroots movement for big, structural change in the Granite State is in full swing.
Today, New Hampshire State Senator Cindy Rosenwald and Judy Reardon announced their support for Elizabeth, joining a broad coalition of elected officials, party leaders, political activists, and community leaders who are supporting Elizabeth in the primary.
“Elizabeth understands the challenges working families face – because she has lived them. She has built comprehensive plans to tackle those problems, and her time as a teacher shines through when she explains them to people. In breaking down complicated issues, she is able to make clear the problem and show the best path forward,” said Senator Cindy Rosenwald. “Investing in down ballot races is also critical – Elizabeth has stepped up year after year to help Democrats up and down the ballot. She knows what it takes to make big, structural change a reality – and is building a movement to make it happen.”
“Elizabeth Warren is ready to take on Trump because she is everything he is not,” said Judy Reardon. “She grew up in a working class family in Oklahoma on the edge of the middle class, and built a career fighting for people who needed just a little bit of help to make it. Trump built his career and his administration on taking advantage of people. Elizabeth built hers fighting for those taken advantage of. I’m proud to support her because she is the right candidate to take on Trump and win.”
Elizabeth has built the widest and deepest coalition of Granite State support in the 2020 presidential field, bringing together all corners of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, newly engaged Granite Staters, Republicans and Independents, and those who previously supported a different party behind her vision for ending corruption, and ensuring our government works for everyone – not just those at the top.
Below is the full list of Elizabeth’s New Hampshire endorsements – each one a part of Elizabeth’s grassroots movement for big, structural change.

For Immediate Release: Thursday, January 23, 2020
More NH State Reps Join Broad Coalition Declaring Support for Elizabeth Warren
Manchester, NH – Today, New Hampshire State Representatives Wendy Chase of Rollinsford, Dave Doherty of Pembroke, Lee Oxenham of Plainfield, and Jeff Salloway of Lee endorsed Elizabeth Warren for president. All four representatives will be hosting campaign events for Elizabeth in the coming days before New Hampshire’s primary.These endorsements come on the heels of both former Chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party and DNC Committeewoman Kathy Sullivan and New Hampshire State Senator Kevin Cavanaugh endorsing Elizabeth on Tuesday. Prior to that, more than 100 labor leaders and union members and more than 50 New Hampshire State Representatives stated that they are all in for a Warren administration.
“I have had the opportunity to compare Elizabeth to the other candidates in the presidential race, and am convinced that she offers this country the substantial changes it needs in the White House,” said Representative Dave Doherty. “Elizabeth brings a wealth of experience and knowledge that she has turned into plans for the economy, health care, national security, reasonable gun legislation, and education as well as countless others. Elizabeth stands out as a woman of courage, intellect, and responsibility who will be the leader we need.”
“Elizabeth is the progressive leader we need to beat Trump,” said Representative Wendy Chase. “She has shown that she will fight for all of us through her comprehensive plan to pass Medicare for All, combat the opioid crisis, and protect the rights and equality of people with disabilities. She is dedicated to building an America that works for all of us, has the record to prove she can get the job done, and that’s why I’m proud to support her.”
"The top 1% hold too much power in America today – and it’s holding us back from passing policies that would help working families and combat climate change,” said Representative Lee Oxenham of Plainfield. “Elizabeth’s comprehensive plans would help Granite Staters: putting power in the hands of working people and transitioning us to a clean energy economy. We need to take action now if we’re going to stop climate change, protect our planet, and create lasting jobs – and that’s why I’m supporting Elizabeth.”
“Elizabeth is the strongest candidate to take on Trump and win,” said Representative Jeff Salloway of Lee. “Her platform and record of fixing corruption in government is the perfect antithesis to what we see day in and day out from the Trump administration. She’s the president we need, and the president our future generations are relying on to make meaningful change.”
“We’re building a movement in New Hampshire for big, structural change,” said Elizabeth. “I’m grateful to have Wendy, Dave, Lee, Jeff, and so many dedicated New Hampshire legislators in the fight with us. They know what it takes to make change – and will keep fighting to make that a reality. Together, we can win.”
The more than 55 state reps who are all in with Elizabeth represent all corners of the Democratic party – a broad coalition of support across the state.

Sullivan is a longstanding leader in New Hampshire politics. She served as the Chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party from 1999 until 2007, and, since 2008, has been a DNC Committee member and a member of the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee. Over the final days until New Hampshire’s First In The Nation primary, she will talk to voters and share Elizabeth’s message of what’s broken in our country, how to fix it, and why Elizabeth is the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump.
“I try to find the candidate who inspires hope; who makes me stand up and fight for what's right. I also need to find someone who knows how to make the government work – for everyone. No one in the race has a grasp on the intricacies of our economy more than Elizabeth. She will ensure the economy empowers Granite State families to afford homes, allows graduates to find good jobs without college loan debt, and her plans to take on climate change will save our planet while creating millions of jobs,” said Sullivan. “When I vote for her in three weeks, I'll be voting for a candidate we can all get behind, who can beat Trump, and who will make economic reforms that will help America's families.”
Sullivan is a champion for New Hampshire’s families and has worked tirelessly to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. Most recently she has fought for a primary process that is inclusive and equitable.
“Kathy has been a longtime fighter in New Hampshire, working to elect Democrats up and down the ticket who prioritize Granite State families. I’m grateful that Kathy is joining me in this fight, and I’m excited for what we’ll get done,” said Elizabeth.

Warren for President
For Immediate Release:

2020
Cavanaugh serves as a New Hampshire State Senator, the Manchester Ward 1 Alderman, and is a longtime union leader and activist. He will work with New Hampshire for Warren to talk to voters about why Elizabeth is the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump and launch canvass kickoffs and other organizing events over the next 21 days through the First In The Nation primary.
“Elizabeth is the voice working families need in the White House,” said State Senator Kevin Cavanuagh. “Her record of getting things done to help all Americans – both in the US Senate and before she even held public office – should convince all Granite Staters to support her. For too long in this country, labor hasn't had a seat at the table where decisions are made – Elizabeth's building a new table. She also understands that working families depend on a secure retirement – she will stand up for workers to raise wages, and protect their hard-earned pensions and retirement savings. From trade to health care to climate change, Elizabeth's plans take into account the folks who are hurting, and she's working to build a country that works for everyone.”
In a special election in 2017, Cavanaugh defeated the Repulican incumbent by 11 points. In 2018, Cavanaugh's re-election would be part of a blue wave that would return both chambers of state legislature to the Democrats. He is a leading Democratic voice in the State legislature and labor movement.
In his tenure in the statehouse, Cavanaugh has been a champion of labor unions and New Hampshire’s working families, spotlighting issues such as advancing workers’ rights, workforce development opportunities, and raising the minimum wage, which has stagnated at $7.25, the same as it was in 2009 and significantly lower than in neighboring states, due to Republican Governor Sununu’s veto.
“I’m grateful to have Kevin in our fight for big, structural change,” said Elizabeth. “Kevin has fought for Granite State workers his entire career, and he knows how we can help working families in New Hampshire build a stable life and have a real chance to get ahead.”
Senator Cavanaugh’s endorsement comes just days after more than 100 New Hampshire labor leaders and union members announced their support for Elizabeth because of her commitment to putting power in the hands of working people as president, her plans to empower workers, and her ability to build coalitions and make real change. He joins a slate of more than 50 New Hampshire legislators who are all in for Elizabeth.

More Than 100 New Hampshire Labor Leaders & Union Members Endorse Elizabeth Warren
Broad
coalition of current, retired, and former union members
declare their support for Elizabeth Warren and her plans to benefit
working families
Manchester, NH –
This morning, more than 100 current and former New Hampshire labor
leaders and union members announced or affirmed their support for
Elizabeth Warren as the 2020 Democratic nominee for President. The
broad coalition is all in for Elizabeth Warren because of her
commitment to putting power in the hands of working people as
President, her plans to empower workers, and her ability to build
coalitions and make real change. This support follows the American
Federation
of
Teachers
Massachusetts and the
Boston Teachers Union endorsing Elizabeth Warren on Monday. “Across the country, including here in New Hampshire, workers’ wages have largely stagnated,” said Representative Pat Long of Manchester. “Elizabeth Warren sees that unions have less power than they used to in negotiating compensation for workers – that’s what has led to workers having less, and corporate executives having more. Her plan would strengthen and protect collective bargaining rights, and in turn strengthen unions and rebuild our middle class.”
Elizabeth’s plan to empower workers is the most progressive and comprehensive agenda for workers since the New Deal. She will extend labor rights to all workers and expand protections for part-time workers; prohibit so-called “right to work” laws; strengthen organizing, collective bargaining, and the right to strike; increase worker choice and control; and expand worker protections, combat discrimination, and improve enforcement of labor laws. She will also ban non-compete agreements, empower workers of billion-dollar companies to elect 40% of their company’s board members, and amend federal law to promote sectoral bargaining across industries.
As she penned in an Op-Ed late last year, her plan will help workers in New Hampshire by ending worker misclassification, raising the minimum wage, and reviving Obama-era overtime rules.
“I’m grateful to have the support of such a broad slate of labor leaders and union members supporting my campaign and my plans to put power in the hands of working people. Unions built America’s middle class and unions will rebuild America’s middle class – but to make it possible we need to support and empower workers,” said Elizabeth. “The changes I’ve proposed will shift power to working people, boost America’s labor movement, and help create an economy that works for everyone.”

Ed. note: Through 2019 the Warren campaign generally "announced" endorsements "organically" via individual graphics posted at @NHforWarren rather than by press release as many campaigns do. The graphics look nice but don't convey a lot of information. The campaign did a big rollout with an open letter on Nov. 21.
Warren for President
November 21, 2019
An Open Letter –
As legislators, we recognize the changes needed to make our government best serve its people. Our constituents want us to take action to halt the effects of climate change, end our students’ loan debt crisis, and pass common sense gun laws. They are counting on us to pass paid family and medical leave, raise the minimum wage, and fight the opioid epidemic by supporting recovery efforts and taking big pharma to court.
But attempts to address these issues have failed time and again in Washington.
Elizabeth Warren is running for president to reform our government so it works for everyone. It’s because of this that we enthusiastically support her run for the White House, and will be doing everything we can to ensure she is elected our next President.
As president, Elizabeth will tackle corruption head on, making it possible for us to enact the big, structural change we need to make our government work for everyone. Government needs to be held accountable, and Elizabeth has the plans to make sure it is.
Elizabeth has long led the fight to make the government work for everyone and has a track record of enacting real change to protect American families. Before she was ever elected to public office, Elizabeth came up with the idea for a federal agency to advocate for consumers against large corporations. She fought hard and created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — which has already returned more than $12 billion to Americans taken advantage of by corporations. In 2012, she ran to be a US Senator for Massachusetts, beat an incumbent, and has been a stalwart for progressive justice ever since.
Elizabeth has taken on the fiercest battles and come out ahead. We need a proven leader in the White House who we know, as President, will work without rest to make our government work for families in the Granite State and across our country.
Elizabeth sees clearly what is at the root of the problems in our government today and she has the vision to fix it. As legislators in the Granite State who are eager to support families, working people, students, seniors, and more — we’re proud to be endorsing the candidate for president who will ensure the government works for everyone. We are proud to support Elizabeth Warren for president.

Elizabeth sees clearly what is at the root of the problems in our government today and she has the vision to fix it. As legislators in the Granite State who are eager to support families, working people, students, seniors, and more — we’re proud to be endorsing the candidate for president who will ensure the government works for everyone. We are proud to support Elizabeth Warren for president.

Warren for President
November 8,
2019
Read the full letter here and below:
An Open Letter –
New Hampshire voters take their responsibility to vet presidential candidates seriously. As women in the Granite State legislature, we have even higher expectations for the candidates we support to build our economy, prioritize our families, and lead our country.
The leader we need in the White House is Elizabeth Warren.
Elizabeth Warren is running for president to fight for our families and get our government back on track – it should be working for all of us, not just the small sliver at the top. Our democracy is hurting. Cuts to public education funding, the rollback of environmental regulations, skyrocketing health care costs, and an inability to take on gun violence, amongst more, threaten how regular Americans can make it today.
Every person should have an equal stake in our democracy, a seat at the table. The folks at the top shouldn’t have any more influence over decisions for all of us than every day Granite Staters who are trying to live out their American dream.
Elizabeth’s plans are all tied together by a common thread – putting an end to the corruption that has led to many New Hampshire families being left behind, and making sure our government works for everyone. Her founding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which has already returned more than $12B to Americans from corporate greed, is proof that she’s not afraid to fight to help families. Alongside her plans to fix who the government works for, her plans to guarantee access to quality, affordable child care, invest in public education, and expand reproductive rights would make sure that every family has access to the same opportunities she did growing up.
So many of Elizabeth’s plans are closely tied to her experiences as a mother, student, and beyond. After growing up in Oklahoma, she paid $50 per semester to finish her college education in Houston, which allowed her to follow her dreams to become a teacher. She understands that higher education opens doors for young people, but that it has been pushed out of reach for many Americans – and that’s why, as president, she will invest in education so public college is free of cost for everyone.
As a working mother, Elizabeth struggled to balance work with her family, and would have quit her job teaching law were it not for her aunt moving to help support her and take care of her kids. She also knows that having two working parents often means families have to pay high costs for child care – if they can find help at all. That’s why she has a plan to guarantee high-quality child care and early education for every child in America from birth to school age. It will be free for millions of American families, and affordable for everyone.
We have a long road ahead of us to make our government work for Granite Staters families again. Elizabeth isn’t afraid of the challenge ahead, because she knows that’s what our country needs, and what our families deserve. She’s taken on a hard fight and won, and has proven herself to be a champion for the people. As New Hampshire state legislators, we know how important these qualities are. Our constituents depend on us to stay in the fight, even – and especially – when it’s hard. Elizabeth has shown that she won’t back down – and that’s why we’re proud to be supporting her for president.
