Manchester, NH - Victoria Sullivan issued the following statement on United States Senator Rand Paul's endorsement of her campaign:
"I am honored to have Senator Rand Paul's endorsement. My respect for Senator Paul and our shared appreciation for liberty conservative principles compelled me to serve as New Hampshire Co-Chair for his presidential run in 2016. That is why I am touched and humbled by his support of my campaign for mayor in the Live Free or Die State's largest city. Senator Paul is not afraid to be a leader in the Senate - taking bold, effective stances on issues and giving all the facts - even when it isn't politically advantageous. This sort of clear, constructive authority is what is lacking in Mayor Joyce Craig, and I know I can usher in the positive change needed at City Hall."
On his endorsement, Paul said: "I've known Victoria for many years and I can assure you, she’s a tough, principled conservative with a track record to back it up. Victoria is a fighter that will have the courage to stand up for individual liberty and to tackle the tough issues facing Manchester."
Michael Biundo, General Consultant for the Sullivan campaign added: "With the combination of Craig's Chaos and Victoria's willingness to do the hard work to fix Manchester, Victoria Sullivan is the well-positioned candidate to win the primary and general election. Senator Rand Paul's endorsement is just the latest proof that momentum is on her side."
