“In New Hampshire, we have a history of electing strong women leaders,” said Annie Kuster. “From my mother, State Senator Susan McLane, to the incredible Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, we know in the Granite State the importance of having the voice of women at the table. I’m so excited about the women who are stepping up to run for office across New Hampshire. Earlier this year I launched my ‘A Seat at the Table’ program to help lift women across New Hampshire, and the men who love them, who are fighting to protect and preserve women’s autonomy and reproductive rights and to expand economic opportunity for all Granite State families.”

“I want to thank Annie Kuster for her vision and leadership in taking to new levels our efforts in New Hampshire to encourage women to run, mentor them, and support them as they run,” said Senator Maggie Hassan. “To all of the female candidates, thank you for running and thank you for serving. Remember that all of the experience that you have had in your lives as daughters and sisters and mothers and wives, all of that experience-personal, professional, family life-that is an incredibly important experience to the work at hand. Because it is bringing that experience to the table and being able to speak up for the person who no one else has thought about that makes us strong and helps us chart a fully inclusive path forward.”
