For O'Malley, Latest N.H. Campaign Stop All About Boosting Name Recognition
From NH Public Radio
http://nhpr.org/post/omalley-latest-nh-campaign-stop-all-about-boosting-name-recognition
Democrat Martin O’Malley returned to the campaign trail in New Hampshire this week. His main challenge, at this point in the primary race, is introducing himself to as many Granite State voters as he can.
For some, like Mary Rauh of New Castle, meeting O’Malley was enough to earn her support. She hosted a party for O’Malley in June. She said once people get to know him, the polls will turn around. “He looks at people, he listens to people, he engages, he doesn’t just talk at them," Rauh said.
On the trail in New Hampshire, O'Malley seems to be making a concerted effort to connect with young voters, whether snapping selfies, playing his guitar, or drinking a Corona at a bar in Nashua. He’s also reaching out to younger generations on issues like college debt and climate change.
This week at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, O'Malley spoke of his plan to help college students graduate debt-free. It's a subject that resonated with 23-year-old Bianca Acebron Peco of Bow. Acebron Peco currently faces more than $100,000 in student loans. She was one of a dozen current and former students who sat on a panel with O’Malley Wednesday morning.
"He is believable," Acebron Peco said. "I think everyone thinks politicians are kind of sketchy or whatever, but he is the most believable to me."
