NH House Speaker endorses Hillary

New Hampshire House Speaker Terie Norelli endorsed Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign today during two events with Clinton supporters and members of the press.

Norelli, a Portsmouth Democrat, is serving her first term as speaker.

In a letter to supporters, Norelli said Clinton can deliver change.

"Hillary has outlined big goals for our country," Norelli wrote.

Because of her position in the Legislature and reputation in the abortion rights and women's rights community, Norelli's endorsement is an important one.

The campaign named Norelli a co-chair of Clinton's New Hampshire campaign, joining Dover lawyer Bill Shaheen.

Norelli said she will now hit the road to campaign for Clinton, attending ten events around the state in the next two weeks, talking to voters over coffee.
