Where Mahrou stands

Economy & Cost of Living

I'm running for Congress in NH-02 because the families of western New Hampshire have been left behind. For too long, Washington has ignored the real struggles here, skyrocketing housing costs, closing rural hospitals, family farms being squeezed out, and a cost of living that leaves a typical family of four nearly $1,900 in the red every year just covering the basics. Both parties had their chance. Both failed us.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

It's hard to pick just one issue, because they're all connected. When we look at the sum of the parts, the trajectory we are on is unsustainable. Washington no longer considers anything but Washington unless it's an election cycle, and because of this, representatives no longer represent their communities and districts, they represent their parties and donors. This has led to substantial neglect that touches nearly every aspect of our lives, from infrastructure and rural healthcare to energy, housing, food and the small businesses and farms that keep our communities going. We need accountability to our constituents, not horse trading within parties that has left NH-02 stagnant at best.
