State Representative Candidate – Nashua Ward 7

First time candidate

Background:

  • Longtime Nashua resident
  • Raised in a family of teachers, medical professionals and entrepreneurs
  • UNH (Durham) graduate
  • Homeowner
  • Runner, cyclist, hiker, skier, rock climber and photographer
  • Head of a family business

Why am I running:

I am running to stand up for the values and goals I do not see adequately represented in
Concord. I believe passionately in protecting and advancing the the rights and opportunities of
all our residents- and in doing more to attract, train and retain the workers and families we need
to power NH’s economy into the future.

My priorities:

  • Creating a family friendly economy, starting with a paid family and medical leave
    program
  • Renewing our state’s commitment to a strong public education system
  • Protecting medicaid expansion and further expanding access to affordable, quality and
    comprehensive healthcare
  • Supporting a compassionate, evidence based continuum of addiction recovery services
  •  Standing strong in support of women's rights, workers’ rights and the rights of all
    minorities
  • Eliminating gerrymandering, modernizing voter registration, pushing for campaign
    finance reform and enacting policies to protect everyone’s right to vote.
  • Fighting for the environment and green energy, including an increase in the net metering
    cap to encourage investment in renewables and to lower Nashua’s municipal energy
    costs.
  • Making NH an enticing and welcoming place for newcomers of all backgrounds
  • Reversing Concord’s harmful downshifting of costs to local property taxpayers
  • Investing in productive infrastructure, including finally authorizing the study of commuter
    rail expansion
