I am honored to be collaborating with them to make the Queen City a better place to live in, work in, and visit. The city has so much potential in the coming years, and these knowledgable leaders will be at the forefront of reviving Manchester for all. Quotes from Representatives Gagne and McLean, and Hon. Tammy Simmons: “I’ve fought alongside Victoria Sullivan for many years on issues important to Manchester’s hardworking families. She’s tough, bold, and has the vision necessary to finally address the critical issues impacting our city. She has my full support and I look forward to working hard to ensure we elect a new voice as mayor this year.” - Hon. Larry Gagne “There is no one more prepared to take charge at City Hall and put Manchester back on track than Victoria Sullivan. We need a leader with grit who isn’t afraid to dig in and overcome our tough challenges with homelessness, crime, and rising taxes. That leader is undoubtedly Victoria, and I'm excited to endorse her as the next mayor of our city.” - Hon. Mark McLean, Vice Chairman House Judiciary Committee “As one of the leaders who worked tirelessly to get Manchester’s tax cap passed many years ago, I know firsthand how crucial it is for us to elect a mayor who will always protect it. We must replace the failed leadership of Mayor Joyce Craig with a mayor who understands our city and its people. I know Victoria Sullivan and trust that under her direction, Queen City taxpayers will finally have an advocate in the corner office. She has my total support in her campaign for mayor of Manchester.” - Hon. Tammy Simmons THE SULLIVAN TEAM As high-level endorsers, Representatives Gagne and McLean, and Hon.

Larraine Lencki, a well-respected Manchester businesswoman, serves as Campaign Finance Chair.  ABOUT VICTORIA SULLIVAN Victoria Sullivan understands what hardworking middle-class Manchester families need out of City Hall because she is one of them. As a wife and stay-at-home mother of two, Victoria and her husband are proud to be raising their two sons on Manchester's south end. Her commitment has always been and will continue to be based on making our communities a better place for our families and for future generations who will call the Queen City home. As a former New Hampshire State Representative and Assistant Majority Leader who served two terms on the House Education Committee, fighting for Manchester families is at the core of Victoria's journey in public service. She worked hard in Concord to keep spending low, while also ensuring that citizens received the quality services their hard-earned tax dollars pay for. One of her proudest accomplishments was her work on legislation that gave parents a stronger voice in their children's education. Through bi-partisan support, Victoria got play-based kindergarten passed into law. That law has been enthusiastically embraced by the early education educators across New Hampshire and used as an example for other states throughout our nation. Victoria truly has a history of commitment to our city. She started a volunteer-run drama club at her children's elementary school, has coached and volunteered for South Soccer, South Little League, and Highland Goffe's-Falls Basketball. She served as the PTA president for her children's elementary school, which in turn lead to her service on the New Hampshire PTA executive board. As a testament to her concern about our children's future, she has spent countless hours volunteering for Manchester schools as a teacher's helper and as a substitute teacher at a charter school. In addition to running for mayor of Manchester in 2019, Victoria has also served as Selectman for Ward 9 and on the Manchester Heritage Commission, where she focused on preserving our city's past, while also seeking to prepare it for the future. ### Paid for by Friends of Victoria Sullivan.
