Washington, D.C. – Today, Eric H. Holder, Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and Chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), announced his endorsement of Paige Beauchemin for New Hampshire House District Hillsborough 3 in Nashua. A special election for that seat will take place on November 7. Beauchemin is a registered nurse and midwife, who helped establish one of the first perinatal mental health clinics in America.  Her endorsement is part of the NDRC’s Democracy Defenders program, a campaign supporting candidates running for state-level offices that are critical to safeguarding and strengthening democracy.

Eric H. Holder, Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and Chairman of the NDRC, released the following statement endorsing Paige Beauchemin for New Hampshire House District Hillsborough 3: 

“I am proud to endorse Paige Beauchemin, who has dedicated her professional career to caring and advocating for women, children, and families. In the New Hampshire House, she will be a champion for Granite Staters’ fundamental freedoms, from abortion rights to voting rights and everything in between. State legislatures are poised to either protect American democracy and the freedoms we all enjoy or undermine them, and strong candidates like Paige are how we tip the balance in a pro-democracy direction. Come November, every vote will make a difference in this important race.”
