Pappas Statement on Senator D'Allesandro Announcing Retirement

Today, Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) released the following statement after the announcement that State Senator Lou D'Allesandro will not seek re-election this year:

"Lou D'Allesandro has been a tireless advocate for working families in New Hampshire for decades, and I'm honored to have called him a friend and mentor for years. In addition to being a legislator, Lou is an educator, a coach, a dedicated public servant, and, of course, husband to Pat. His legacy is as much the bills he has passed and the laws that bear his name as the generations of young men and women he has taught, coached, and mentored, leaving a lasting impression on them all. New Hampshire's working families and middle class have had no greater champion than Lou D'Allesandro, and his work to improve public education, create jobs, and strengthen our economy will be felt for decades to come. I join all Granite Staters in thanking Senator D'Allesandro for his service and wish him a Great American Day."
