1,100 Democrats jam Manchester Radisson armory to kick off Jefferson-Jackson Dinner

Sanders, O’Malley, Clinton to address more than 1,000 party faithful.

An estimated 1,100 Democrats from throughout New Hampshire and beyond crowded into a ballroom at a downtown hotel Sunday evening to hear what were expected to be upbeat rallying cries from presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders.

Clinton, who arrived at the Radisson Hotel following a grassroots organizing event in Boston with Mayor Marty Walsh, was expected to speak last, following Sanders and then O’Malley.

O’Malley was the first candidate to make an appearance, however, greeting Democrats as they waited on line to pass through intense Secret Service Security,
The three are expected to try to distinguish themselves from each other in speeches expected to last approximately 20 minutes each. But they will also be in unison in blasting Republicans.

According to a party spokeswomen, the event is expected to gross about $250,000 for party activities in the 2016 election year.
