CONCORD – Former two-term New Hampshire Executive Councilor, business leader and Democratic candidate for Congress in New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District Colin Van Ostern recently announced an initial slate of dozens of elected officials and community leaders in Greater Nashua and Southern New Hampshire supporting his campaign for Congress.

This list of supporters is the first in a series of regional grassroots committees spanning every corner of the district that will be released regularly throughout the coming weeks.

The announcement comes on the heels of Van Ostern’s strong fundraising start and his announcement of “Van Ostern Voters for Reproductive Rights,” a grassroots organizing committee of women, community leaders, and voters committed to protecting the full range of reproductive freedoms – from in vitro fertilization to birth control to abortion access.

This newest slate of endorsements comprises community leaders from across the City of Nashua and surrounding communities, including several former State Senators, State Representatives and Aldermen.

“I’m so proud that dozens of Granite State leaders from the Greater Nashua area have joined our growing grassroots team committed to fixing our government and making it work for regular people and middle-class families again,” said Van Ostern. “I know we can bring and grow more great businesses and jobs to this state with the right leaders working together at the local, state and federal levels. In Congress, I’ll work with local leaders in Nashua and across the country to protect our fundamental freedoms, create jobs and economic opportunity, and make government work for the people again.”

“On the Executive Council, Colin always fought for issues that are important to Nashua, like bringing commuter rail to Southern New Hampshire,” said State Representative Latha Mangipudi of Nashua. “I know he cares about our community, and he is the best person to fight for us in Washington.”

“Colin Van Ostern will fight for families like mine in Washington,” said Alderwoman-At-Large Shoshanna Kelly of Nashua. “He’ll stand up for reproductive rights — from IVF and birth control to abortion access and he’ll work to bring more of our tax dollars back to New Hampshire to make a real difference in the lives of hard working Granite Staters.”

“I’m endorsing Colin Van Ostern for Congress because of his admirable and steadfast advocacy in ensuring access to healthcare for all New Hampshire Citizens,” said Alejandro Urrutia of Hudson.
