Kerry Builds Coalitions Throughout New Hampshire

 
MANCHESTER, N.H. – John Kerry is proud to announce the endorsements of former supporters of Dick Gephardt’s Presidential campaign. After a victory in the Iowa caucus, Kerry has returned to New Hampshire to campaign nonstop until the January 27th primary and is taking his campaign directly to voters. Kerry, a champion of working families, is working hard to expand his growing New Hampshire campaign.

“Dick Gephardt served this country with grace, commitment, and distinction,” said Kerry. “He is a special public servant. I’ve worked with him for 20 years and watched him push, fight and advance the causes of our party, and of our country. Dick is a man of commitment, and a man of principle. I thank him for his tremendous public service.”
