Presidential Candidate Wraps Up Pride Month With Stops In Nashua

NASHUA, NH — If you're attending the Nashua Pride Festival on June 29, you may get to meet a presidential candidate, if you're interested. U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton, D-MA, will be wrapping up his Pride Month events in the state by making two stops in the Gate City. At noon on Saturday, he'll attend a roundtable event to meet with the Stonewall Democrats of New Hampshire. The campaign stated that Moulton will be the first 2020 candidate to address the NH chapter of the official LGBTQ+ caucus of the Democratic Party.

After that event, Moulton will attend the Nashua Pride Festival on Main Street in Nashua beginning at 2:30 p.m.

These events will mark the sixth time in the first 10 weeks of his campaign that he has visited the state.

Moulton will also visit local businesses in Nashua and Seabrook on Saturday.

Moulton is one of a handful of candidates who didn’t qualify for the first round of Democratic National Committee debates, due to his late entrance into the race. Gov. Steve Bullock, D-MT; Wayne Messam, the mayor of Miramar, FL; former U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, D-PA; and former U.S. Sen. Mike Gravel, D-AK, also didn't make the first debate last night. A second debate will be held tonight.
