Excerpt:
Executive councilor Andru Volinsky was a top Granite State supporter, surrogate, state legal counsel, and presidential convention delegate for Sen. Bernie Sanders in his 2016 White House campaign. But the Democrat from Concord, well-known attorney, and 2020 gubernatorial candidate had remained neutral in the wide-open race for the Democratic presidential nomination – until now. The Monitor on Thursday learned that Volinsky – after taking a hard look at some of the Democratic White House hopefuls – will once again back the independent senator from Vermont in New Hampshire’s presidential primary.
“The reason I delayed in making an endorsement is I think we in New Hampshire have an awesome opportunity and an awesome responsibility to work carefully with presidential candidates in the first-in-the-nation primary. And to be honest, I kicked the tires with a number of campaigns in the state. There are a number that are very, very good,” Volinsky explained in an interview.
But he emphasized that “on the policy issues that I care most about – income inequality, climate change, health care, education – I just think that the Sanders campaign has had a consistent position and is advancing that position in a very thoughtful and careful way in this campaign and so although I spent time with a number of the other campaigns, I kept coming back to Sanders and I think that’s where I belong and I am pleased and privileged to endorse Sanders for president.”
In a statement obtained by the Monitor, which will be released on Friday – Volinsky said that voters “deserve a president who will put working families first. We need a president who will stand with the people as we face the major issues of our time, from confronting climate change with the Green New Deal to making sure no family is left behind by leading on Medicare for All.”
And pointing to Sanders’ push for a “political revolution,” Volinsky stressed that “I believe this election requires a movement; a powerful culmination of honest conversations between people that unite our shared values in the face of overwhelming division stoked by Donald Trump, Chris Sununu, and their acolytes.”
Volinsky plans to officially back Sanders when he teams up with the senator at a town hall in Lebanon at 1 p.m. on Friday.

These increases will put much-needed money into the hands of the lowest-paid workers, many of whom struggle with high and ever-increasing costs of living. Below is a summary of what to expect in 2020: ...

Former Obama Advisor Says People Should Take Bernie Sanders 'Very Seriously' After Rise In Polling
BY JAMES CROWLEY ON 12/26/19 AT 11:54 AM EST
Excerpt:
Former Obama senior advisor and Pod Save America co-host Dan Pfeiffer said Senator Bernie Sanders is a serious contender to receive the Democratic nomination, after a recent jump in national and early-state polls. Pfeiffer told Politico that "people should take Sanders very seriously." He said that Sanders has very good chances in the states with early primaries and caucuses.
"He has a very good shot of winning Iowa, a very good shot of winning New Hampshire, and other than Joe Biden, the best shot of winning Nevada," said Pfeiffer, noting that these early odds improved Sanders' chances going forward. "He could build a real head of steam heading into South Carolina and Super Tuesday," a Tuesday early in the primaries where the most states hold primaries and caucuses. That falls on March 3, 2020, with Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia holding primaries.
Pfeiffer served as a strategy and communications senior advisor to President Barack Obama during the president's second term; he had worked for the Obama-Biden transition team after Obama's victory in the 2008 presidential election. Prior to being appointed senior advisor, Pfeiffer served as White House communications director. In June 2018, he published his first book Yes We (Still) Can: Politics in the Age of Obama, Twitter, and Trump. His next book, Un-Trumping America, will be released in February 2020.
