Following the results of Tuesday’s primaries in Hillsborough District 15 and Sullivan District 1, NEA-New Hampshire announced the following recommendations in the four Special Election’s scheduled for State Representative between today and November 7th.
September 26th
Kari Lerner
Rockingham District 4 (Auburn, Chester, and Sandown)
“As a former educator, Kari knows that a strong public education system is vital to growing New Hampshire’s economy,’ said NEA-New Hampshire President Megan Tuttle. “Like the 200 State Representatives that voted down SB11, Kari also knows that Right to Work has no place in New Hampshire, and that weakening collective bargaining in this state would be detrimental to the workers that make New Hampshire one of the best states in the country to raise a family.”
October 23rd
Casey Conley
Strafford District 13 (Dover Ward 1)
“At a time when the New Hampshire Legislature has made diverting funds from public schools to private institutions a priority, Dover needs someone like Casey that will stand up for all the students in this state, not just those fortunate enough to afford a private school,” said NEA-New Hampshire President Megan Tuttle. “As a young parent, Casey knows that a prosperous New Hampshire is one that attracts and keeps young people in state.”
November 7th
Erika Connors
Hillsborough District 15 (Manchester Ward 8)
“In her six years on the Manchester School Board, Erika has always stood up for Manchester’s students, educators, and parents,” said NEA-New Hampshire President Megan Tuttle. “I know that if elected, Erika will fight for proper funding for public schools, increased support for our educators, and recognition for the successes of a public school system that is consistently ranked one of the best in the nation.”
Brian Sullivan
Sullivan District 1 (Cornish, Grantham, Plainfield, Springfield)
“I have know Brian for over 15 years, and during that time he has been a tireless advocate not just for the members he represented, but for the students and parents of the districts he covered,’ said NEA-New Hampshire President Megan Tuttle. “If elected, I know that Brian will represent his constituents with the same zeal and dedication he brought to representing educators in the North Country and Western regions that he fought for for over twenty-five years.”
