Edwards Picks Up New Support In New Hampshire
34 Grassroots Activists Announce Endorsement
CONCORD, NH - On the heels of
a trip that brought Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) from Hanover to
Hampton this weekend, thirty four grassroots activists and community leaders
from around the
state announced their endorsements, joining a growing list of New Hampshire
supporters.
"John Edwards is our party's best chance of beating George W. Bush in 2004,
it's that simple.
And he's the best person to lead our country," said Jon Bresler, a member
of the NH
Democratic Executive Committee and Vice President of the Board of Trustees
at Temple Beth
Jacob. "John Edwards knows how to win with a progressive message
in a conservative state,
because he's done it before -- and he's the only one running who has."
"This is what New Hampshire is all about - meeting with voters and grassroots
activists and
winning their support face-to-face," said Edwards' NH state director Caroline
McCarley. "We're
thrilled that activists and community leaders from around the state are
choosing John Edwards
and are already working hard to bring their friends, neighbors, and other
members of their
community on board with the campaign."
In the days before the trip, Edwards also received the endorsements of
Rep. Sharon Nordgren,
Deputy Democratic Leader in the state legislature and fifteen-year Hanover
State Rep.; and
Scott Pauls, Vice Chair of the Upper Valley Democrats.
