Exeter High Class Prez Joins Hassan Campaign

Exeter resident Maggie Hassan's gubernatorial campaign today announced the creation of a committee comprised of high school and college students who will work to get her elected. 

The committee includes Doug Marino, a class president at , and Joe Platte, a student Democratic leader at .

"Over the past two years I have watched as the radical Republican legislature led by Speaker Bill O'Brien passed a raft of troubling legislation, including a terrible budget that made deep cuts to our university system,” said Theo Groh, a Saint Anselm student who's vice president of the NH Young Democrats there. "That is why I firmly believe that we need a strong Democrat the corner office to continue Governor Lynch's excellent work."

“Maggie understands the need to strengthen New Hampshire’s education system in order to build a strong workforce and acknowledges that the future of New Hampshire lies in places like the dorm rooms of Durham, the cafeterias of Keene and the classrooms of Plymouth," said Maria Carrasquillo, president of the UNH College Democrats. "As a university student, I trust that Maggie has my interests in mind and will work effortlessly as governor to ensure that every child in New Hampshire receives a quality and affordable education."
