NH Union Endorses Volinsky for Executive Council

CONCORD, NH - The members of SEA/SEIU Local 1984 have endorsed Concord attorney Andru Volinsky for 2nd District Executive Council which includes Concord and stretches from Rochester to Keene.

In a press statement, the union stated that Andru has demonstrated "a strong record of public advocacy for the working people of New Hampshire" after the local's Political Education Committee met with him and recommended for an endorsement to the union’s Board of Directors.

John Hattan, the chairman the Political Education Committee, said, “Mr. Volinsky’s long and tireless commitment to public service and support for NH's disadvantaged communities are qualities that match our organization’s values. He has proven he will advocate for working families and make fiscally prudent decisions without shying away from the big issues that face our state.”

Volinsky acted as lead attorney in the landmark Claremont school funding case and he currently represents the New Hampshire Retirement Security Coalition, of which SEA/SEIU Local 1984 is a member.

Volinsky said he was happy to get the endorsement.

“The Executive Council's primary role is to act as steward for the State's economy,” Volinsky said. “I am thrilled that the members of SEA/SEIU Local 1984 have placed their confidence in me, and I shall work hard to maintain their trust.”

Late last year, Volinsky received the coveted endorsement of the state's firefighters' union, a month after getting into the race.

SEA/SEIU Local 1984 represents around 11,500 public and private-sector employees across the Granite State.
