CONCORD, NH – AUGUST 30, 2022- Today, NEA-New Hampshire, the state’s largest association of public-school educators, announced their support for Donovan Fenton in the Senate District 10 Democratic Primary.
“In his three terms in the NH House, Donovan has consistently been a vocal advocate for New Hampshire’s educators and for a strong public education earning our recommendation in the State Senate Primary,” said Megan Tuttle, NEA-New Hampshire President.
“We need elected officials who will work together to ensure our educators are fairly compensated, our schools are fully funded, and every child receives a fair and equitable education. Donovan has proven he stands up for educators and their families,” said Tuttle.
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of NEA-New Hampshire,” said Rep. Fenton. “Our teachers and educators are the center of our communities, and their service goes above and beyond for every student. As a graduate of Keene High, I know personally how important teachers are in shaping the life, education, and future of our children. Giving these classroom heroes the resources, compensation, and support they deserve is one of my top priorities. It is imperative that legislators in Concord fight to deliver for these teachers as they have delivered for us and our students every day. In Concord, I will work every day to improve the lives of classroom teachers and education professionals in District 10 and across the state.”
Over the final stretch of the campaign, NEA-NH will be working to communicate to our members and the voters of Senate District 10 about the recommendation made today.
