Well, here’s the labor announcement I was promising yesterday. Needless to say, everyone here at the campaign is very excited. I may be more excited than most as I used to work for the NH AFL-CIO and I’ve always been very interested in labor issues. It’s actually one of the reasons I wanted to work on Rick’s campaign. It’s nice to see that I’m not the only one who recognizes his commitment to the working people of this district. Follow me below the fold to see the press release.
