“I wanted to make this video to endorse Lily Tang Williams,” said Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “I made this decision after seeing her extraordinary debate with her opponent Maggie Goodlander. She came to this country with $100 in her pocket but an extreme love and commitment to liberty, and a love for the United States of America. If you want to end the foreign wars, if you want to end the surveillance and censorship, if you want to restore our constitutional rights, please vote for Lily Tang Williams.”

Clinton has a long history with Granite State and New Hampshire’s democratic party establishment.  His 1992 NH Primary race earned him the “Comeback Kid” nickname and began decades-long friendships. US  Senator Jeanne Shaheen and her husband Billie are two friends in attendance.  The Senator kicked off the slate of speeches.

“This may be the most important election of our lifetime. You know, we say that every election. But I think this year, it really is true. Because we have a choice between two very different ideas for the future of America in this election.” said Shaheen.

“I’m grateful that I had access to the care that I needed, that I could make the decision that was best for me and recommended by my doctor, and that there were no politicians in the doctor’s office with me. I’m grateful that I was able to make the best decision for me and my family, free from interference. My experience of loss reinforces my support for reproductive freedom, reproductive health care, and protecting that today.” she said.

Senator Hassan continued with the theme of doing the work of elections to make a difference.

“Here’s a number that a lot of people in this room have heard me say a time or two, which is 1,017 votes. That’s the number of votes that you all helped me win my first election for the United States Senate by, right?  1,017 votes is what made the difference between being able to stop the Republicans in 2017 when they tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act. 1,017 votes in New Hampshire saved health care for 28 million Americans.”

“This, when you look at who’s on our ballot, up and down the ballot, it should be a moment of celebration when you see the diversity of people and the empowerment this is going to make. When you look at the top of the ticket, and you just keep going down and down, and there’s all these phenomenal people that those of us who grew up in New Hampshire couldn’t even fathom 50 years ago, 40 years ago, said Buckley “So every election is a turning point. Every election is going to make a difference. But this one is particularly important because there’s been a lot of bad stuff happening in Concord and in Washington.  And we have the ability to put the brakes on it completely.”

Candidate Goodlander was brief and to the point, “We’re pro-union. We’ve got to fight for unions to get the PRO Act done. We’re pro-workers. We’ve got to fight for workers and working families. At a moment when we’re up against, on the other side of a ballot, people who want to tear down everything we want to build up,  we’ve got to fight for freedom.  We’re here in the live free-or-die state. No one believes in freedom more than we do. And freedom is on the ballot. I’m so proud to be working alongside all of you.”

She specifically cites the blocks of Planned Parenthood funding and the selection of Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut as past Executive Council decisions she objects to. 

“I would never hire a commissioner that didn’t have experience, especially in education. I was working for the Hillary Clinton campaign and I went on a trip with the education commissioner, Lionel Tracy. He talked about the whole child and he had this enormous educational background. And that’s what I expect from a commissioner. I don’t expect to look at their resumes and see nothing related. So you want an education professional, one who is involved and helps to support our public schools, which is not happening at all.”

As a student, a chance encounter with an American foreign exchange student changed her view of the world. He showed  her a pocket version of the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence 

“The Constitution and Declaration of Independence brought me to this country. I heard about it from another third-year student, which is a college degree in China. An American student introduced me to the concept of individuality and personal liberty and that all men are created equal.  What a concept. I never heard that before, I never heard that under communist rule!”
