Marchand Helps Out Jim Webber in Special Election, plus More Endorsements

by: Dean Barker

Fri Jul 27, 2007 at 11:12:05 AM EDT


This is cool, because I only seem to hear about special elections after they're already over.  From Steve Marchand to my inbox:
Jim Webber is running to fill the vacant House seat in the Rockingham 14 House District, encompassing the towns of Hampton Falls, South Hampton, Seabrook and Kensington.

A co-founder of the Kensington Democrats, Jim has worked alongside folks like you and me to make a real difference in New Hampshire.  His experience as a management consultant, his commitment to the environment, and his support for reproductive rights make Jim Webber the right person to serve his district in Concord.

Steve has highlighted a canvass on Saturday, a phonebank on Monday, and a GOTV on Tuesday (election day).

Click on "There's More" for details, as well as some new endorsement news.

Dean Barker :: Marchand Helps Out Jim Webber in Special Election, plus More Endorsements
THIS SATURDAY, JULY 28
CANVASS FOR JIM IN SEABROOK
Where:  O'Brien's, 8 Batchelder Road, Seabrook
When:  10AM
Contact:  Julia Ramsey, 225-6899 or jramsey@nhdp.org

THIS MONDAY, JULY 30
PHONEBANK FOR JIM AT MARCHAND HQ
Where:  Marchand for Senate HQ, 1 Middle St., Portsmouth
When:  4:30-7PM
Contact:  David Mason, 427-2008 or mason@stevemarchand.com

ELECTION DAY!
THIS TUESDAY, JULY 31
Get Out The Vote CANVASS & VISIBILITY
Where:  Seabrook (TBD)
When:  3PM - 7PM
Contact:  Julia Ramsey, 225-6899 or jramsey@nhdp.org

And here are some new endorsements for the Portsmouth Mayor:

*  Rep. Judith Spang (Durham)- CHAIR, Resources, Recreation & Development Cmte.
  * Rep. Jennifer Brown (Dover)
  * Rep. Judy Day (North Hampton)
  * Rep. Marlene DeChane (Barrington)
  * Rep. Eileen Ehlers (Hooksett)
  * Rep. Earle Goodwin (Dover)
  * Rep. Paul Hackel (Nashua)
  * Rep. Doreen Howard (Newmarket)
  * Rep. Arthur Jillette (Goshen)
  * Rep. Michael Kaelin (Lyndeborough)
  * Rep. Seth Marshall (Nashua)
  * Rep. Evalyn Merrick (Lancaster)
  * Rep. Bonnie Mitchell (Jaffrey)
  * Rep. David Pierce (Etna)
  * Rep. Chris Serlin (Portsmouth)
  * Rep. Dennis Vachon (Northwood)

What sticks out for me on this list is the Rep. Pierce from Etna, the heart of the Buckey's base camp of the Upper Valley, and Rep. Merrick from Lancaster, way up in the north country.

Also interesting to note how many current state house reps and senators are on board with Marchand.  I could be wrong, but I count 57 so far, which, even given the enormous size of our legislature, is a strong show of support.

Jim Webber Special Election (4.00 / 1)
It's great that we are getting the word out about Jim's race! I'm interning for Katrina Swett, and we have been out in the district canvassing for a few weeks now. Between the mailings and all the phone calls, we are really excited to help Jim get a victory on Tuesday. I hope to see lots of BH readers out in Seabrook on Saturday.

A great team effort (0.00 / 0)
The Webber special election is a great team effort with the Jim Ryan's team from the Committee to Elect to House Democrats, the Rockingham County Democrats, Senators Martha Fuller Clark and Maggie Hassan, the staff of the NH Democratic Party, US Senate candidates Katrina Swett and Steve Marchand and so many have been terrific. Thanks to all!

Have you told a stranger today about Bill O'Brien and his Tea Party agenda? The people of NH deserve to hear about O'Brien  and his majority committed to destroying New Hampshire and remaking it into a armed survivalist preserve.

Put up a post on DFNH (0.00 / 0)
and listed it on the calendar, but forgot about here.

In any event, those interested in the Senate race should check out Kerry's challenge as diaried on KOS

I recognize a lot of good names on that list.

Well done, Steve!  Lancaster to Jaffrey, you've got supporters all across the state now.

It's time we steer by the stars, and not the lights of every passing ship
