State Representatives
Vote For All 3
Michele Roussel Buckley
I'm a working-class, everyday person running to give Ward 3 a strong, accessible voice. My community leadership, grassroots organizing, and professional experience prepare me to serve.
Lee Ann Kluger
I am running for State Representative so that I can continue to be a champion for public education. I have the tenacity to continue to fight for the people of Nashua and as a 30 year resident believe that we can do better.
Adam Thompson
I'm bringing leadership as a veteran and teacher to defend public education, expand affordable housing, and stop the extremist state agenda bent on stripping away local control and defunding Nashua.
Hillsborough County
County Attorney
Travis Bennett
Travis is currently working as a public defender and is concerned about the lack of mental health resources in New Hampshire, shifting the perception of drug use to one that is best addressed through medical intervention, and homelessness -- all issues that lead to increased crime and divert State resources away from focusing on more dangerous cases.

County Commissioner
Sherry Dutzy
Commissioners and state representatives work together to provide important services to county residents. As a former State Rep and County Executive Committee chair, I understand the needs of the county and the process to keep providing and improving these services.
Register of Deeds
Mary Ann Crowell
A dedicated public servant with the registry of deeds for over 25 years, I care about this accurate recording of Hillsborough county properties, and protecting property owners against fraud. During my first term, I permanently preserved books of deeds going back to the 1700s, and will continue to show up every day to serve the public.
County Treasurer
Beverly Cotton
I am dedicated to upholding the values of discipline, diligence, and honesty in serving the community. I have had decades of increasing financial responsibility in my career and now have a desire to serve my State.
