I am running for State Senate in District 8 because I believe everyone should be heard.

We need elected officials who will work for reasonable solutions and who will listen to the concerns of the people.

Senate District 8 is composed of 20 towns from Charlestown and Claremont along the Connecticut River to Weare and Dunbarton, which are in the Merrimack River watershed. It is a large district of mostly rural towns that needs a strong voice for our public schools and our natural environment. Weare has been a good place to raise a family and run a small business. I am running for office to help keep our towns and region as a great place to live, for young people to come and raise a family (if they choose), and for people to retire.
