U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster

CONCORD – U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster (NH-02) is announcing her, “A Seat at the Table,” initiative and her endorsement for a slate of 2020 candidates in New Hampshire’s Second District. The initiative, named after the famed expression, “If you don’t have a seat at the table, you may be on the menu,” aims to highlight candidates who support women’s autonomy and reproductive rights in the Second District.

Also part of the initiative are races ‘On the Radar,’ primaries in the Second District with multiple candidates who will fight to protect reproductive rights.

“In November, New Hampshire voters have a clear choice to take a stand for reproductive rights, equal pay, safe schools, paid family leave, affordable child care and health care, access to mental health care and addiction treatment, ending sexual and domestic violence and saving our planet,” said Kuster. “These candidates will take ‘a seat at the table’ to fight for the rights of women, girls, and families in our state. They will give voice to women across New Hampshire, and the men who love them, fighting to protect and preserve our reproductive rights, our livelihoods, our families, our health, wellbeing and safety, and our environment.”

“I am proud to endorse this slate of Democratic women to stand up and speak out to fight for a better future for all of us.”
