CONCORD — The New Hampshire House Democratic Caucus cast a unanimous ballot today for Rep. Steve Shurtleff as their nominee for Speaker of the House for the 2019-2020 legislative session.
“I thank the Democratic Caucus for the trust they have placed in me to lead the House for the upcoming term. I also thank Rep. Renny Cushing for the honorable campaign he ran for Speaker. Rep. Cushing is a champion for many issues including the labor movement, repeal of the death penalty, criminal justice reform, and advocacy for the most marginalized people in our society.”
“This upcoming term will present both challenges and opportunities for the legislature. The diverse voices in the House Democratic Caucus will bring an important perspective as we work with our colleagues from both parties in the House and Senate to move New Hampshire forward.”
