State Representatives
Vote For All 3
Efstathia Booras
I am running for re-election as State Representative for Nashua Ward 6. As a local business owner and legislator, I understand the issues that affect families every day, including property taxes, housing, healthcare, and education. My work also reflects a longstanding interest in rare-disease research, support for seniors and veterans, and the humane treatment of animals.
Christal Lloyd
Running for re-election this year, Christal has dedicated her career to community-centric nonprofit work. She focuses on protecting access to reproductive healthcare, supporting K-12 schools, and building inclusive communities. She understands the value of hardwork, and has been honored to serve as a Ward 6 State Representative since 2022.
Frances Nutter-Upham
I have served as a state representative for 6 years. I served on the health and human services and elder affairs committee for all of that time. As a citizen of Nashua since 1980, a volunteer in our school system and other service organizations I have had exposure to Nashua’s strengths and struggles. As retired psychotherapist I have a good idea of what policies and changes would be healthy for our citizens. I also get along well with others.
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.
