Why are you seeking elective office?

I feel there is a need for change and transparency. The residents of Londonderry need a new voice at the State to push for their needs. They need someone who will ask and listen to them. Someone who will connect with them, keep them informed of what Bills will affect them directly and why Bills are being sponsored.

The single most pressing issue facing our (board, district, etc.) is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.

There are several. Water Pollution, Electricity, and Parental Rights are huge. The Electricity issue, because it appears that it was not being adequately dealt with, leaves Londonderry and all towns with the need to be prepared for "brown outs" and "black outs' coming in the not-too-distant future. I would make sure that the State assists in every way possible to minimize the effects. Make sure people have what they need and know when these occurrences are happening as far ahead as possible. As far as the water, I feel that Londonderry was not adequately assisted financially and that a long-term plan needs to be implemented. The rights of parents need to be addressed again and again until we finally realize that they are the first and only line of health and education of their children and that their rights to access should not be denied.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?

I have been involved with these issues ongoing and I am passionate about them and others. I am straight forward, sometimes too much, but you always know exactly where I stand and why.

If you are a challenger, in what way has the current board or officeholder failed the community (or district or constituency)

They do not ask what is important of their constituents, lack of notification about issues and transparency. Some Bills seems very self-serving.

Describe the other issues that define your campaign platform.

Border Security right here in NH. Election integrity, Fiscal Responsibility, The NH Constitution. The 2nd Amendment. The Environment

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?

My attention to detail as required as an Intensive Care RN for 42 years., My honesty. My Passion and love of this State and Country.

The best advice ever shared with me was:

Be honest, straightforward and do your research before you speak

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?

I know that I can make a difference. I have in many aspects of my life. It is not about me. It is about the people that I will serve.
