Denise Ricciardi, currently serving as vice chairwoman of the Bedford Town Council, has recently announced she will run for the NH Senate in district 9 on the Republican ticket. District 9 includes the towns of Bedford, Dublin, Fitzwilliam, Greenfield, Hancock, Jaffrey, Lyndeborough, Mont Vernon, New Boston, Peterborough, Richmond, Sharon, Temple, and Troy.
Ricciardi has been particularly busy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Showing true leadership in a crisis, and knowing that Bedford has a large over-60 population at risk, she launched an effort to organize volunteers to help. Bedford Cares is a database of volunteers who have offered their services to help those at home who may be considered ‘at risk’. Tasks include delivering groceries, mail, prescriptions, or making trips to the transfer station. There's a phone number where those in need can call to be matched up with those volunteers.

All restaurants are invited to participate at no cost to them. Bedford Cares does not receive any profit for their effort.
