I am asking for your support this November to represent Nashua as State Representative. This is a pivotal year and this is a critical election - it will decide what kind of nation our children will inherit. I've lived in Nashua for 18 years and have a career in higher education. I decided to run for election because I got tired of sitting on the sidelines hoping for someone else to do the heavy lifting. My priorities are: (i) lower costs for granite staters
(ii) grow Nashua's economy
(iii) protect our rights and freedoms
(iv) maintain healthy communities
(v) bolster public education.
