(Portsmouth - July 31st, 2015) Long-time New Hampshire State Senator Martha Fuller Clark will join fellow state legislative leaders for the National Conference of State Legislators annual Legislative Summit from on August 3rd through the 6th in Seattle, Washington. The NCSL is a bipartisan, national organization serving legislators from across the country.

“This is going to provide me an opportunity to learn from my colleagues across the country how they are dealing with challenges we are all facing. I’m especially interested in hearing about emerging best practices regarding energy efficiency and renewables, new approaches to funding transportation, and the regulatory issues raised by the so-called ‘sharing economy’,” said Fuller Clark. “I’m looking forward to a day-long seminar on how states are confronting the public safety concerns we’re seeing raised in Portsmouth by Uber.”

Martha Fuller Clark has returned to the state senate for a fifth term after being elected in the fall of 2014. She previously served from 2004-2010 and currently represents District 21 that includes the seacoast communities of Durham, Lee, Madbury, Newfields, Newington, and Newmarket, as well as her hometown of the city of Portsmouth. Before being elected to the senate, Martha spent twelve years in the New Hampshire House of Representatives where she served on the commerce committee for ten years and as a member of the House Democratic leadership team for six. The senator is vice-chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party.

Since 1975, National Conference of State Legislators has been the champion of state legislatures. The NCSL helped states remain strong and independent by giving them the tools, information and resources to craft the best solutions to difficult problems. The NCSL has fought against unwarranted actions in Congress and saved states more than $1 billion and conducted workshops to sharpen the skills of lawmakers and legislative staff in every state.
