Candidate Profile: Kelleigh Domaingue Murphy

Office Sought

State Representative, District 7

Political Party

Republican

Background/Education

I am an attorney and small business owner.  I attended Boston College for undergrad (Go Eagles!) and Vermont Law School.  I was named one of the Union Leader's 40 Under Forty in 2004.

Experience/Occupation

I own and run the New Hampshire Sports and Social Club, an adult sports league that organizes softball, volleyball and other team sports. I also own and run similar clubs in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and own and manage restaurants in Manchester - namely Murphy's Taproom and Murphy's Diner.     

Prior Elected Office

I have served in Manchester on both the School Board and the Board of Mayor and Alderman, where my voting record reflects my fiscal conservatism.  

Personal

I have lived in Bedford for the past three years, and reside with my husband and two children, Alexandra and Aidan. I am Roman Catholic.

Priorities

I believe that, while the most recent legislature had come a long way towards achieving goals, there is still a lot of work to be done.  I strongly believe that the best government is less government.  To that effect, I want to repeal unnecessary statutes, make the laws of New Hampshire more efficient and streamlined, and pass legislation that would encourage small businesses to relocate and expand within the state.
