NH House Majority Leader endorses Hillary
The majority leader in the New Hampshire House of Representatives yesterday endorsed Senator Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, saying the country was ready for a female president.
State Representative Mary Jane Wallner, a Concord Democrat, told reporters on a conference call she had been secretly hoping Clinton would run.
“I knew for a long time that if Senator Clinton ran she would probably be my candidate,” said Wallner.
As majority leader, Wallner oversees 239 members of the Democratic caucus and is one of the state's most influential Democrats.
