Why are you running?

I am concerned about the tenor of the debate and the decisions made by the "super majority" of the in the past couple years. It appears that there has been little negotiation about the important issues. Most important issues need to be completely vetted with many viewpoints offered in order for good laws to be passed. I'm also horrified at the and feel that government has no place dictating how a woman makes her own decisions. There are many groups within NH who have no voice and it is the place of government to be sure they are represented. I would like to be a positive voice in this large Legislature and help move NH in a direction that provides for all NH citizens.
