Victoria Sullivan announced among group of 100 NH ‘Women for Bolduc’ coalition

MANCHESTER, N.H. – On Tuesday, the campaign of Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Don Bolduc announced that former Manchester State Representative, Mayoral Candidate and Aldermanic Candidate Victoria Sullivan is one of the 100 women across the state joining Bolduc’s new “Women for Bolduc” coalition.

Sullivan has also served two terms as a Selectman in Ward 9 and served a stint as Assistant Majority Leader during her two terms as a State Representative in Concord.

She was one of three women from Manchester on the list, the others being Louri Boilard and Jillian Smith.

“I could not be prouder to be supported by this impressive list of strong women from across the Granite State. Having women leaders in our communities is extremely important and I look forward being a true voice from them in the U.S. Senate and work alongside them to get things done,” said Bolduc.

UPDATE: The New Hampshire Democratic Party held a press conference in Concord regarding the Bolduc’s announcement, here are statements from that press conference.

Executive Councilor Cinde Warmington: “I want to be very clear: Don Bolduc is not the candidate for New Hampshire women. Don Bolduc said that he, ‘as a man,’ knows what’s best for women when it comes to our most personal health care choices. He also said that the future of abortion access ‘belongs’ to the ‘gentlemen’ Republican legislators in the state house. Senator Whitley, Representative Wallner and I have worked with the Republican ‘gentlemen’ in the state legislature, and we know all too well that if it were up to these men, Granite Staters would no longer have access to abortion or reproductive health care. This is a woman’s decision. Not some ‘gentlemen’ politicians.”

Deputy House Democratic Leader Mary Jane Wallner: “When Don Bolduc said that the future of reproductive rights ‘belongs to these gentlemen right here who are state legislators representing you,’ he was talking about two legislators in particular who were in the audience. One was Representative Jess Edwards, who just this year voted against tabling a bill that would have banned abortion after about five weeks, a point at which many women don’t even know that they are pregnant. This ban was nearly identical to the ones we’ve seen in Texas, Ohio, South Carolina, and other states across the country. If Representative Edwards had his way, this bill would have passed, endangering the lives of women across our state. That’s who Don Bolduc thinks should be deciding the future of reproductive rights. Not women, but the men in the State House, who I have seen firsthand, try to end access to abortion, defund family planning services, and take away our reproductive rights.”

State Senator Becky Whitley: “First, Don Bolduc told the women of New Hampshire and Senator Hassan to ‘get over’ Republicans trying to pass a nationwide abortion ban. Now, he thinks that ‘as a man,’ he knows what’s best for ME and for ALL Granite State women when it comes to making our most personal health care choices. To add insult to injury, Bolduc defers to the ‘gentlemen’ politicians as the ones who should make the most intimate of decisions about someone’s pregnancy – NOT the New Hampshire women who have to carry those pregnancies and who have to deal with the often tragic and traumatic ramifications of one-size-fits-all legislative intrusions into our personal freedoms.”
