Edwards gets NH SEIU Chapter endorsement

At a meeting in Concord tonight the New Hampshire chapter of the Service Employees International Union endorsed John Edwards's presidential campaign, the most significant news in Edwards's campaign in the Granite State.

The SEIU is the largest union in New Hampshire of 9,000 members. But more important than that the news means that procedurally the 1.3 million of SEIU members in 12 other state chapters who have endorsed Edwards will be allowed to campaign in New Hampshire on his behalf.

"I was impressed that Edwards not only talks about unions when he is in front of a union audience, he supports unions when he talks to a business audience" said Department of Health and Human Services employee Ken Roos.
