NH AFL-CIO Endorsement

DEERFIELD, NH- Maureen Mann, a former educator and New Hampshire state representative, has officially been endorsed by one of the largest unions in the state. The New Hampshire AFL-CIO is encouraging members of its 43 affiliated unions who live in Rockingham District 32 [Candia, Deerfield, Northwood, Nottingham] to vote for Mann in the May 19 special election.

“I’m proud to have the endorsement of an organization that represents working people across New Hampshire,” Mann said. “As a state representative, I have a proven track record of protecting the interests of working families in the Granite State.” 

Mann, who won an uncontested primary on March 31, narrowly lost re-election 2014 to Brian F. Dobson, who promptly resigned to work for U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta. She faces 19-year-old Yvonne Dean-Bailey, a freshman at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, in the special election on May 19.
“Working people in Deerfield, Northwood, Nottingham, and Candia deserve a representative who will fight for their livelihoods, their wages, and their right to form unions,” Mann continued. “In Concord, I’ll vote for a budget that protects state employees from unnecessary layoffs and budget cuts, and will adamantly oppose any legislation that infringes on workers’ rights.”

“I’ve lived in this district for years, and will continue to listen to the everyday concerns of the residents in these four towns, whether it’s working to have a traffic light installed at a busy intersection or to have potholes filled on local roads. I will represent them, not out of state backers.”
