I’m so proud to have this incredible group behind me as we work together to make Manchester shine again. Today, I am pleased to announce over a dozen important endorsements of our efforts to win back the corner office at City Hall: Hon. Tom DeBlois, Former Member of the New Hampshire Senate Hon. Larry Gagne, Manchester State Representative for Ward 6 Hon. Ray Hebert, Former State Representative and Campaign Treasurer Hon. Joseph Lachance, Former State Representative and Current At-Large Member of the Manchester Board School Committee Hon. Mark McLean, Manchester State Representative for Wards 8 & 9 Hon.

Our team is striving every single day to return Manchester to a thriving place for those that live here, work here, and for those who visit us. I know we can do better as a city, our endorsers know we can, and together we will get the hard work done for a better Manchester." At the time of their endorsements, supporters provided their feedback on Victoria taking on this race: "Victoria Sullivan is direct and she is a fighter. As we move to reopen our city after COVID-19, I know Victoria will work tirelessly to remove obstacles to get our city's economy back on track not only for Queen City residents, but also for newcomers drawn by good-paying jobs in Manchester. She will provide leadership from City Hall, which is often suspect with the current office holder. I am excited to support her as we head towards November." -Alderman Keith Hirschmann "I am so happy that Victoria is choosing to run again for mayor. She chose Manchester to raise her wonderful family, and she is dedicated to this city. Victoria is tireless. We can trust her to work hard to solve problems the Queen City faces and she'll lead us forward." -Bettie Lamontagne “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 “I’ve known Victoria Sullivan for years, and I am proud to serve as her Finance Chair for this campaign. This race is going to take very significant financial resources. Joyce Craig and her allies on the far Left will pull out all the stops to bring money in the door, but I know Victoria’s determination and effort will be second-to-none, especially with grassroots donors around the city. This will be a campaign funded to win.” -Larraine Lencki "Victoria is a compassionate advocate for those in our community who need a helping hand. As Mayor, Victoria will make quality-of-life issues top priority and will solve our homeless crisis once-and-for-all. Victoria is not afraid to get into the specifics of a problem while balancing other priorities. I enthusiastically support Victoria Sullivan for Mayor of Manchester." -Hon. Ray Hebert “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 ### Paid for by Friends of Victoria Sullivan. Ray Hebert, Treasurer. P.O.
