Raymond Buckley ?@ChairmanBuckleyImpressive. O'Malley announces support from Manchester's top muncipal election vote-getters. #nhpolitics
MANCHESTER, N.H. Democratic presidential candidate Martin OMalley will formally announce 10 New Hampshire endorsements later Thursday, including a veteran Manchester alderman and the executive director of the citys historical society.
Alderman Dan ONeil, who has been informally supportive of the former Maryland governors campaign for several months, is now officially on board with OMalley.
A strong supporter of former President Bill Clinton in the early 1990s, ONeil is joined in backing OMalley by Manchester Historical Society executive director John Clayton, a former longtime feature columnist for the New Hampshire Union Leader.
In addition to ONeil and Clayton, OMalley is being backed by Manchester residents Catherine Cavanaugh, a former NARAL board member, well-known Irish singer Marty Quirk and Matt and Jody Wilhelm, who have worked with CityYear and AmeriCorps.
Also backing OMalley are state Rep. John Mann of Alstead, former state Reps. Betsy Burtis of Derry and Catherine Mulholland of Grafton, as well as activist Peter Spanos of Sunapee.
The campaign says the endorsements come in the wake of a breakthrough debate performance in Iowa last weekend and ahead of an appearance by OMalley and fellow candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders at the New Hampshire Democratic Partys Jefferson Jackson Dinner on Nov. 29.
John Bivona, O'Malleys state director, said the endorsements emphasize OMalleys continued commitment to campaigning the New Hampshire way and support the kind of grassroots operation we need to be successful in the first-in-the-nation primary.
OMalley announced 21 endorsements last month, including New Hampshire campaign co-chairs former state Sen. Peter Burling of Cornish, Mary Rauh of New Castle, and Dave Allen of Manchester.
The importance of building a strong grassroots organization cant be under-estimated, Bivona said. We dont have what other candidates have in terms of staff on the ground and were not pretending that we do, but I do think our work is paying dividends in getting local support in key areas.
