Updated New Hampshire Primary Source: After watching Benghazi hearing, key Democrat backs Clinton

Source: WMUR

REISCHE BACKS HILLARY. One of the state’s most influential Democratic activists decided Thursday to endorse Hillary Clinton for president after watching her handle what he called “bizarre antics” from Republican on the House Select Committee on Benghazi.

Attorney Alan Reische told New Hampshire Source he had “hemmed and hawed” over backing Clinton until watching her testimony. He wrote that she showed “enormous courage, patience and dignity.” “Her response to this inquisition has dispelled any doubts I might have had about her candidacy,” Reische wrote. “I’m on board with her.”

Reische had not been a Clinton devotee in the past. He was an early supporter of then-U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, rather than Clinton, in the 2008 presidential primary campaign.

Among his many roles in state Democratic campaigns, Reische chaired Gov. Maggie Hassan’s re-election campaign in 2014 and her inaugural committee following the election. He was the finance chairman of her 2012 campaign and is expected to be deeply involved in her current U.S. Senate campaign. He also has been involved in past campaigns of former Gov. John Lynch and U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
