CONCORD, NH - Executive Council candidate Andru Volinsky released his first round of endorsements from state legislators in District 2 who are supporting his campaign, according to a press statement on May 23, 2016.

On his endorsement, State Sen. Dan Feltes, D-Concord, stated, “I’m proud to support Andru Volinsky because I know he’ll look out for everyday people, including ensuring that low-income women will have access to vital health care services, that judges will give a fair shake to the underrepresented, and that state agency appointees will serve the entire public - not simply the well-connected few.”

On the growing list of elected officials supporting his campaign, Andru commented, “From their work to ensure every Granite Stater has access to affordable health care, efforts to fully fund quality public education - including kindergarten - for every student, and creating multi-pronged solutions to our state’s opiate crisis, these progressive legislators work every day to move New Hampshire forward.
