CONCORD, N.H. -– New Hampshire state Sen. David Pierce had a bounce in his step as he made his way to church in his Upper Connecticut River Valley district on Sunday morning. After a particularly punishing winter, it was the first warm morning of the season. But the second-term Democrat had something besides the nice weather to put him in a good mood. Upon returning to his home in Lebanon, Pierce began refreshing his Twitter feed over and over again until the official word came shortly before 2 p.m.: Hillary Clinton was in. Without wasting another moment, Pierce headed to his garage and pulled down from the wall a dusty old yard sign that had been lying in storage for almost eight years: “New Hampshire For Hillary.” Pierce stuck the 2007-era campaign sign in his front yard and set to work raking up the dead grass that surrounded it. Operatives from Clinton's nascent 2016 presidential campaign haven’t yet gotten around to asking Pierce for his endorsement, but they don’t need to. “I’m hoping I can legitimately claim that I had the first Hillary lawn sign of the 2016 campaign season,” Pierce, who helped organize for Clinton’s 2008 campaign as a state representative, told The Huffington Post.
