Bill Shaheen Endorses Senator Clinton
New Hampshire Leader to Co-chair Campaign
CONCORD, NH – At the Merrimack Diner in Manchester today, New Hampshire political powerhouse and campaign veteran, Bill Shaheen announced his decision to endorse Senator Hillary Clinton for President and serve as her New Hampshire campaign Co-chair.
“I have decided to support Senator Clinton because she has the experience, wisdom and courage our country desperately needs from our next President,” said Shaheen. “What is most important to me is that Senator Clinton understands what is at stake in Iraq and she knows what it takes to get us out of there, rebuild our relationships around the world and solve our problems here at home.”
Born and raised in New Hampshire, Shaheen has considerable Presidential primary experience having served as the campaign Chair for John Kerry’s 2004 New Hampshire primary win, Co-chair for Jimmy Carter’s 1976 New Hampshire primary win, and Chair of Al Gore’s 2000 New Hampshire primary win.
“My campaign in New Hampshire is in exactly the right hands,” said Sen. Clinton. “Bill Shaheen brings so much with him and I am absolutely thrilled to have his guidance and leadership.”
“As a father of three daughters, I am honored to be part of this historic campaign that will help elect the first woman president,” said Shaheen.
“Bill Shaheen knows how to win New Hampshire primaries,” said Nick Clemons, Clinton’s New Hampshire State Director. “He will be pivotal to the campaign bringing a tremendous amount of excitement and energy with him.”
