RightVoter Client Victoria Sullivan Announces Her Campaign for Mayor of Manchester, NH

April 5, 2019

On a cold and rainy spring afternoon, flanked by approximately a hundred supporters, RightVoter client Victoria Sullivan announced her campaign for mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire. Our firm was proud to be by her side.

With Manchester being the state’s largest city, the race for mayor in 2019 will be an important one to watch in the Granite State. As a former Assistant Majority Leader in the New Hampshire House, this blue-collar mother of two is poised to run a strong campaign on the messages of fighting crime, addressing the opioid epidemic, keeping taxes low, and helping to make Manchester shine again.

Top in state media outlets, such as WMUR-TV and the New Hampshire Union Leader, covered the campaign’s strong first day.

In response to the announcement, two of RightVoter’s partners, Michael Biundo and Derek Dufresne, released the following statement:

“Victoria Sullivan is exactly the right person to lead Manchester at this critical time in its history. She understands the plight of blue-collar families who have to make touch decisions every month because she is one of them. She knows the concerns voters have about crime and sees the issues surrounding homelessness and opioid addiction. It is time for new leadership in Manchester rather than accepting the failing status quo under the current incumbent.

“We cannot be more excited to be joining Victoria on this campaign, and we look forward to working every day to ensure she is the next mayor of New Hampshire’s Queen City.”
