MAJOR ENDORSEMENTS FOR BIDEN. Joe Biden’s campaign Thursday will roll out a slate of established New Hampshire Democratic leaders who have joined his camp and are making their endorsements public here for the first time. Several of them previously endorsed former candidates.

Bill Shaheen is on board with the former vice president. The longtime Democratic National Committeeman and husband of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen gave his highly sought-after endorsement to Biden because, he said, “We need a president and a Senate who can bring dignity back to our country and immediately command respect on the world stage. Joe Biden can do both.”

Joining Shaheen with Biden are former state Senate President Sylvia Larsen, former state Democratic Party Chair Joe Keefe, longtime campaign strategist and former Cory Booker senior adviser Jim Demers and former U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes, who had been the state campaign director for former presidential candidate Marianne Williamson.

Also with Biden are Hodes’ wife, Peggo Horstmann Hodes, former state Sen. Peggy Gilmour, former Carroll County Democratic Chair Chris Meier and Manchester attorney and activist Maureen Manning.

The new Biden supporters also include three Manchester elected officials – Alderman-at-Large Dan O’Neil and Ward 10 Alderman Bill Barry, both of whom had backed U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan’s brief run for president, and Ward 2 School Board member Kathleen Kelley.
