“While spending decades caring for New Hampshire families as a Nurse Midwife and Nurse Practitioner, I trained for and completed several Ironman competitions. Now retired, I want to bring that discipline and experience to the New Hampshire State House to represent the citizens of Franklin and Northfield.”
(Campaign Website) “I've learned that it is not enough to just treat symptoms — you have to listen to the patient. I am committed to bringing that same focus to Concord ensuring that the voices of Franklin and Northfield are heard.”

“Every student has a right to an education that best suits his or her needs and passions and shouldn't be trapped in a school that doesn't meet those needs. In Concord, I'll protect the Education Freedom Account Program and advocate for more ways for students to learn in the best ways for them, both in and outside the classroom.”
(Citizens Count Issue Survey) “In Concord, I will never vote for a sales tax or income tax and I'll ensure that local control and government power closest to the citizens remain at the forefront of the Granite State's public life.”
(Citizens Count Issue Survey) “New Hampshire is already one of the most business-friendly states in the nation, but we can always do more to improve that reputation further. By increasing access to CTE programs to bring more people directly into the workforce, removing licensure barriers, making it easier to hire employees, and lowering taxes on small business, we can make sure that they not only sustain but thrive.”
