Why are you seeking elective office?

New Hampshire families deserve a fresh voice who will LISTEN to our community and fight to do what is necessary for them.

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

The most pressing issue facing our state right now is inflation. Many working families, as well as seniors on fixed incomes, are struggling to make ends meet due to rising costs. As your State Representative, I will fight for a strong economic path forward, while maintaining the New Hampshire Advantage of no income or sales tax.

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

I’m here to LISTEN to the community and represent what they need. I’m a mom of 4 young kids and also have a retired dad and in-laws on fixed incomes, so I have a great perspective on many challenges facing families and seniors today. I will proactively seek out the viewpoints and concerns of the Windham community.

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

N/A. There are two non-incumbent seats open.

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

I have lots of professional experience as a team player and a leader. I'm a mom and a small business owner with high energy, who never gives up. I know how to find mutually agreeable solutions and I will fight to get things done.

The best advice ever shared with me was:

Don't just care, serve and do everything you can to help.

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

I will listen to you, learn from you, fight for you, and legislate for you.
