New Hampshire First Lady Dr. Susan Lynch Endorses Clinton

[wyldwolf]

CONCORD, N.H. - Dr. Susan Lynch, a pediatrician who is married to New Hampshire's Democratic governor, endorsed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for president Monday.

Lynch, a childhood obesity activist, said Clinton's commitment to fighting for children and families help make her the best choice for Democrats and the country. She will be a national co-chairwoman of Clinton's presidential campaign.

"As a mother and as a pediatrician, I share Hillary Clinton’s commitment to fighting for children and families. We face big challenges, and I believe Hillary Clinton is the best candidate to deliver the changes we need," Lynch said in a statement shortly before a planned appearance with the New York senator.

Lynch works at Concord Hospital in a program to control cholesterol in children. In 2004, she was a member of "Doctors for Dean," which supported former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean for president.

Last year, Lynch joined former President Bill Clinton at a childhood obesity event in Manchester.

Gov. John Lynch hasn't endorsed anyone.

"Governor Lynch will remain neutral and will continue to focus on being a good host to the primary," spokesman Colin Manning said.
