Concord gubernatorial candidate releases list of supporters.

This week, 50 New Hampshire State Representative and two local labor unions announced their support of Colin Van Ostern for Governor of New Hampshire, building the campaign’s grassroots momentum after more than 500 community and business leaders endorsed Van Ostern in October.

“It’s absolutely critical that the people of New Hampshire have a Governor who is fighting every day for the people of our state – and for an economy that works for all of us, not just those at the top,” said Van Ostern in a statement. “Building a brighter future for the people of New Hampshire and winning in 2016 will take a strong grassroots team and people-powered campaign, and I’m proud that’s what we are building.”

This week the executive boards of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers local 2320 and American Postal Workers Union local 230 both voted to endorse Colin Van Ostern for Governor, throwing the weight of their 1,000+ members behind his campaign.
