FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 2, 2021 Contact: Derek Dufresne [email protected] 603-860-7781 Victoria Sullivan Announces Exploratory Phase for Mayor of Manchester Manchester, NH - Victoria Sullivan, a former New Hampshire State Representative and Assistant Majority Leader who served two terms on the House Education Committee, issued the following statement on the 2021 race for Mayor of the Queen City: “When I ran for mayor last cycle, I talked about how we were at a crossroads in Manchester. Yet, as a result of failed leadership at the top, we went in the wrong direction. “I love Manchester and it’s people. We can make Manchester shine again, but especially as we rebuild from the impact COVID has had on our families and small businesses, it’s going to take all of us to get there. “I’ve listened to a lot of Queen City residents over the last year about their views on the state of the city. They, like me, believe we can do better. They, like me, believe that we must do better. “As we officially enter the exploratory phase of a campaign for mayor in 2021, I look forward to continuing these conversations in all corners of our city and intend to make a final decision very soon.” ___  ABOUT VICTORIA SULLIVAN Victoria Sullivan understands what hardworking middle-class Manchester families need out of City Hall because she is one of them. As a wife and stay-at-home mother of two, Victoria and her husband are proud to be raising their two sons on Manchester's south end. Her commitment has always been and will continue to be based on making our communities a better place for our families and for future generations who will call the Queen City home. As a former New Hampshire State Representative and Assistant Majority Leader who served two terms on the House Education Committee, fighting for Manchester families is at the core of Victoria's journey in public service. She worked hard in Concord to keep spending low, while also ensuring that citizens received the quality services their hard-earned tax dollars pay for. One of her proudest accomplishments was her work on legislation that gave parents a stronger voice in their children's education. Through bi-partisan support, Victoria got play-based kindergarten passed into law. That law has been enthusiastically embraced by the early education educators across New Hampshire and used as an example for other states throughout our nation. Victoria truly has a history of commitment to our city. She started a volunteer-run drama club at her children's elementary school, has coached and volunteered for South Soccer, South Little League, and Highland Goffe's-Falls Basketball. She served as the PTA president for her children's elementary school, which in turn lead to her service on the New Hampshire PTA executive board. As a testament to her concern about our children's future, she has spent countless hours volunteering for Manchester schools as a teacher's helper and as a substitute teacher at a charter school. In addition to running for mayor of Manchester in 2019, Victoria has also served as Selectman for Ward 9 and on the Manchester Heritage Commission, where she focused on preserving our city's past, while also seeking to prepare it for the future. ### www.VictoriaSullivanforMayor.com ‌ ‌ Friends of Victoria Sullivan | PO Box 4301, Manchester, NH 03108 Unsubscribe [email protected] Update Profile | Customer Contact Data Notice Sent by [email protected] powered by Try email marketing for free today!
