Mo Baxley joins Jackie Cilley campaign as field director BARRINGTON — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jackie Cilley on Monday announced that that Mo Baxley of Laconia, former executive director of N.H. Freedom to Marry, is joining her campaign as field director. Baxley, who has 30 years of experience including successfully directing public education, legislative and labor campaigns, working at the local, state, and national level, also served in the New Hampshire House. Her focus will be organizing county and local committees in support of Jackie’s candidacy. “We are thrilled that Mo is joining our team,” said Cilley. “I know from working with her to pass marriage equality that she is a tireless advocate for what she believes in. Living in New Hampshire and having established relationships with scores of our citizens
makes her an invaluable asset to our campaign.” “I am very excited about the Jackie Cilley for Governor campaign and thrilled to be working with Jackie,” said Baxley, adding “I worked directly with Jackie on marriage equality and saw firsthand her commitment to doing the right thing and her effectiveness in getting the job done.” New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley has called Mo a “NH hero” for her efforts to pass marriage equality legislation in the legislature: “A lot will be said and written over the resounding victory for marriage equality in New Hampshire. Many will get credit, many will take credit but from my point of view the hero of this historic win is Mo Baxley... While many involved were helpful no one was as instrumental to today’s win than Mo Baxley.”
from preceding page tion and racial profiling. Law enforcement will be held accountable should this statute be misused in a fashion that violates an individual’s civil rights.” Civil rights groups that separately challenged the law over concerns that it would lead to rights abuses said their lawsuit would go on. Even with the limitations the high court put on Arizona, the immigration status check still is “an invitation to racial profiling,” said American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Omar Jadwat. Carlos Beltran, looking for day labor work Monday in the Phoenix area, said he was glad to hear the court struck down most of the law. “We can still be here today, find a job and go home and tell our wives we have something to eat tonight,” said Beltran, who was born in the U.S. but whose parents are illegal immigrants. With the ruling, however, Beltran said the poten-
tial for racial profiling will become worse. “I don’t want to have my dad afraid of looking for a job. He has four kids. They shouldn’t be afraid of trying to make a living,” he said. The Obama administration sued to block the Arizona law soon after its enactment two years ago. Federal courts had refused to let the four key provisions take effect. The other states adopted variations on Arizona’s law. Parts of those laws also were on hold pending the outcome of the Supreme Court case. Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor joined all of Kennedy’s opinion. Scalia and Justice Clarence Thomas would have allowed all the challenged provisions to take effect. Justice Samuel Alito would have allowed police to arrest immigrants without papers who seek work, and also to make arrests without warrants.
