NHYD statement on Dr. Jay Buckey's withdrawal from US Senate race

Admiration

Dr. Jay Buckey greatly impressed NHYD board members, especially me, with his command of the issues, his intellect, his lifestory and tireless campaign ethic. NH Young Democrats admire him and his cause tremendously. To say that the N.H. Young Democrats wish him well is an understatement. Our state needs leaders like Dr. Buckey.

Karen Liot Hill, Dr. Buckey's campaign manager, is a super-talented Young Dem and I'm confident ... no, I know ... she will be a salient voice for progressive issues now and for many years to come. She's a key Young Democratic leader to keep your eyes on.

Finally ... John E. Sununu - what's that sound you hear growing louder in the distance?

That's the stampede of young NH voters - 61% of whom voted Democratic in the '08 prez primary - rushing to oust you and your outdated rightwing agenda from the U.S. Senate!

Senator, you might want to get ear-plugs because that those footsteps are going to get louder and louder very quickly now thanks to Dr. Buckey, Governor Shaheen and NH's young Democratic voters.

Buckey is a most welcome addition to the NH Political scene and I hope that this is not the last we will hear from him.

I'm sure that we will be hearing from Karen Liot Hill as well. Perhaps even in our own Upper Valley Young Dems Chapter....
