Key New Hampshire state rep. endorses Kamala Harris

SUNAPEE, N.H. —
Democratic State Rep. Linda Tanner, D-Sullivan 9, on Thursday endorsed California Sen. Kamala Harris for president.

Tanner told NBC5 that she had previously considered Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, but ultimately decided on Harris.

"Kamala Harris is far and above the rest in directness and poise and asking the tough questions," Tanner said. "If there's one thing that I've learned in the Legislature, you have to develop an ability to ask tough questions and pull answers out of people."

Nate Evans, Kamala Harris' New Hampshire communications director, praised the endorsement, saying, "Representative Linda Tanner's endorsement is a clear sign of the ever-growing enthusiasm for Senator Harris in New Hampshire. Both Tanner and Harris share a commitment to finding tangible solutions to the problems facing Granite Staters, and we are very excited to have her on board.”

Harris returns to New Hampshire to campaign this weekend.

I googled her and found nothing except she won her election to office.

Inquiring minds want to know.
