Pam Brown to serve with “compassion, integrity and honor”

Nashua — Pam Brown is pleased to announce her candidacy for the office of State Representative from Hillsborough District 31. Residents of Nashua Ward 4 may vote either by Absentee Ballot or in person during the Special Election to be held on Tuesday February 19, 2013. She is 56 years old and has lived in Nashua since 1997.

Although this is Brown’s first run for public office, she was an active volunteer for President Obama’s re-election campaign and was selected to speak at First Lady Michelle Obama’s event in Manchester last August. Pam has been a lifelong advocate of community service and is currently involved with the Presidential Inauguration Day of Service planned for Saturday January 19.

She is a member of the Nashua Democratic City Committee, has volunteered for local schools and other non-profits including Harbor Homes. As a Lyme disease survivor she is an advocate for awareness and education of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases and hosted an event last year at the Nashua Public Library. She works in Manchester NH for a non-profit that serves individuals with co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders. Brown lives in downtown Nashua and has two daughters that attend the Nashua public schools.

Brown worked for Fidelity Investments in Merrimack, as a Principal Quality Assurance Engineer and has more than 20 years work experience in financial services, banking, and health care. She holds an undergraduate degree in psychology from Boston College and worked for many years at McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA, before receiving her MBA at Northeastern University Graduate School of Business Administration in Boston, MA. In her early business career she won recognition in “Who’s Who in Professional and Business Women” and “Outstanding Young Women of America.”

“I have seen first-hand how the state budget cuts to our schools and social services have had a devastating effect on our community and I want to be part of the common sense leadership that puts people before politics. My combined educational background and work experience give me the unique perspective of the “big picture” of business and economics," Brown said.

"I am committed to attracting more talent and opportunities to New Hampshire, to improve our bottom line without a sales or income tax, and to preserve the beauty of our beloved state. It would be my privilege to represent the residents of Nashua Ward 4 alongside the Honorable Mary Gorman and David Cote and to be of service to the thriving community that I’ve grown to love. I ask for your vote on February 19 and promise to serve with compassion, integrity and honor.”
