CONCORD, N.H. ‒ U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Worcester, promoted Hillary Clinton's 2016 Democratic presidential campaign in New Hampshire Saturday, saying that in addition to being the best candidate for the White House, he believes the former secretary of state will drive Democratic wins in down ticket races.

The congressman praised the former first lady as he traveled to Concord to canvass with around 25 other central Massachusetts Clinton supporters ahead of the third Democratic presidential debate at Saint Anselm College.

McGovern, who knocked on more than 50 doors in campaigning for the former secretary of state, stressed that despite his support for Clinton, he respects all three Democratic White House hopefuls.

"I think we need to do whatever we can to elect a Democrat as president," he said during an interview. "I have great respect for Bernie Sanders - he's a good friend of mine. I also have great respect for Martin O'Malley, but I believe that Hillary's the strongest candidate we have and I not only want to win the presidency - I want to win back the House and the Senate. I think that she can help us do that."

1. More straight to the point,

All Democratic Senators in Washington State are pro Hillary.

Fixed.

2. Washington "State"?

Okay.....

Also, Jim McGovern is a rep. And a damn good one. Was arrested multiple times protesting the Bush wars.

3. Guess you have to be here.

I focused my comments towards Senators and thought I was clear. Sorry for any confusion.

Nafta did nothing but usher jobs out of WA state. While the trade was still good, not so much for the workers. I'm not going into why it's bad when livable wage jobs jobs are sent overseas, but I havn't had a steady job since Nafta. Now they are all over the TPP.

It's great for Washington, blah, blah, blah.

That's not how I'm feeling it and seeing it.

6. Love this part ...

... in addition to being the best candidate for the White House, he believes the former secretary of state will drive Democratic wins in down ticket races.

This is not something that I see discussed much by Bernie's supporters and it is one of the most important things that must happen for any Dem to get support for his/her agenda once that person is in the WH. It is also good for the future of the Dem Party.

7. I think he is wrong about down ticket races, very wrong. But I don't know any more

about the future than he does.
