Cindy Rosenwald
NH House of Representatives – Ward 3
7th term

In the November 2018 election, Representative Rosenwald is running for the NH Senate seat vacated by Bette Lasky (District 13).

Representative Rosenwald began her 7th term in the 2017-2018 session.  Cindy also continues in her role as the Deputy Democratic Leader.    

2017 Session

Representative Rosenwald was a member of the Finance Committee.

Accomplishments:

  • Co-sponsor of paid family leave insurance bill
  • Worked successfully to increase childcare assistance funding in budget
  • Co-sponsor of bill to fund clean water projects in Nashua and other towns
  • Co-sponsor of bill that brought more drug interdiction money to Nashua to prosecute drug dealers

The Nashua Telegraph ran the following posting for Cindy on October 27th, 2016:

“A resident of Nashua for 28 years, Rosenwald is a retired college writing instructor, advertising vice president, and health care community relations associate. She has served six terms in the House and currently serves as the Deputy Democratic Leader.

I am asking the voters of Ward 3 to send me back to the House of Representatives so I can continue to work hard on their behalf to keep Nashua and the state of New Hampshire strong. I believe I have developed a reputation for hard work, responsiveness to constituents, pragmatism, the willingness to listen to all sides, and the ability to work across the aisle to solve problems and find innovative solutions that work for our state.

Over the past two years, I have been actively involved in legislation that increases funding and access to a range of programs and services to help solve our number one public health problem: the heroin and opioid crisis. This includes better insurance coverage for treatment and investments in supportive sober housing.

I have worked to fund drug courts, make sure our health care providers have access to complete patient information as a basis for informed opioid prescribing and ensure that local law enforcement has the necessary resources to combat drug crime. Having worked on three state budgets, I understand the need to balance fiscal prudence with investment in essential programs and services necessary for a robust economy and vibrant communities.”

Medicaid expansion continues to be a high priority.  It currently has nearly 50,000 enrollees and must be re-authorized by this legislature if it is to continue.  This program is fundamental to providing access to substance abuse treatment services.
