Collapse all
|Originally from New Jersey, I have worked and lived in New Hampshire for nearly two decades.
I love New Hampshire’s amazing breadth of resources from the beach to the mountains, and from the city to the country.
In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family and friends, volunteering, reading and exploring all the wonders of New Hampshire, especially Durham’s many delightful resources.- Public education has been under attack from the Republican party and especially right wing religious extremists and members of the free state movement. Additionally, irrational fears have led to laws like HB544 which attacks teachers and seeks to make it illegal to teach that there is more than one way to view the world. Loren is a former public school teacher who believes passionately in educational equity, and will fight for Diversity, Justice, Equity, and Inclusion in schools and will defend teachers and their right to teach a variety of content across the curriculum.
- The extremists in the New Hampshire government are intent upon denying the rights of: Women LGBTQIA+ people Black, Indigenous, AAPI, Hispanic, and other nonwhite people Non-Christians Loren is an activist for Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion and will take strong action to protect the rights of people to live their true existence and to defend individuals from attach from misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, etc. To be a true democracy, Loren believes all non-hateful voices should be welcome at the table and all should work together to right the wrongs of the past and work for a better future.
- Loren believes that the only two people who should be involved in deciding whether or not someone carries an egg from fertilization to birth are the pregnant person and their medical practitioner (in the case of a 10 year old like the one in Indiana, a guardian would also be an appropriate member of the conversation). The choice of whether or not to have a child is strictly personal. Loren also believes it in funding organizations like Planned Parenthood and the Lovering Health Center to provide preventive care for cancer, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, and contraceptive care. As an elected official, Loren will work to have funding restored to these organizations to to codify the Right to Choose.
If I were to win the mega-lottery, I would use the money much like Mackenzie Scott is doing, funding organizations and people who really need it without it being about the glory.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
