PORTSMOUTH – He has been known to cut it up on the campaign trail, but Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang says he’s not going to get too crazy on New Year’s Eve.

“Probably not. I’m campaigning tomorrow, too, so it would be unseemly for the candidate to get sloshed or anything on New Year’s Eve,” the tech entrepreneur told Seacoastonline on Tuesday afternoon as he kicked off the first of a half-dozen events to ring in 2020 in the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state of New Hampshire.

“I need to be at it again tomorrow. So you know, you have to maintain control of your faculties,” the one-time long-shot turned middle-tier Democratic nomination contender added.

Yang’s day was set to culminate with a sold-out New Year’s Eve party at a brewpub in Nashua. Even though he says he won’t be getting crazy, he said, “I hope that people around me though do feel free to indulge, do whatever they want, because hey, it’s New Year’s Eve and it’s party time.”

And his message to his supporters is “don’t let me be a stick in the mud because I’m going to be in an excellent mood and we’re going to ring in the New Year right and then we’re going to help make the '20s the decade that we’re proud of to reverse a lot of the stuff that’s gone on in this country over the last number of years unfortunately.”

Yang spoke to Seacoastonline as he made his way from Cure Restaurant to Ri Ra Irish Pub, where an overflow crowd was waiting for him.

Asked what his New Year’s resolution is, Yang said “to become president-elect of the United States of America and we are on our way thanks to you New Hampshire, so thank you."

As for his best moments in the fleeting decade, Yang noted “you know I had two kids this decade. I got married this decade. So I’d say those are the three biggest highlights I can remember from the '10s. I guess that’s what we’re going to call it. The '10s.”

Yang isn’t the only Democratic White House hopeful planning to ring in the new year with supporters in New Hampshire.
