My professional journey began in banking, where I spent two decades as a VP of Operations and Commercial/Residential lender for a midsize Savings Bank. However, I was fearless about making a career change when a former colleague approached me to become the National Sales Director of DocData New England, an international leader in multimedia production. In this role, I managed clients such as Sony, IBM, Computer Associates, and the Music Industry, showcasing my adaptability and entrepreneurial spirit in handling diverse challenges.

After many years of traveling around the country, I returned to my first love, working with individuals buying homes, and, with two partners, opened Action Title. I ended my career by serving on the board of Directors of the Monarch School, where I fundraised and coordinated the building of the new Technical School.

With my experience as a business owner and sales executive, I know how to get things done. I have a proven track record of success in building businesses to financial success. I am committed to bringing that determination and focus to Concord as your voice. Whether advocating for small businesses, improving infrastructure and education, or fighting for our constitutional rights, I have the passion and drive that will inspire and motivate others to get our state back on track.
  • It’s time to focus on the people of NH and stop taxing them into poverty. Our infrastructure, schools, and businesses are suffering due to wasteful spending. New taxes are not the answer.
  • Education has become our citizens’ most significant tax burden while proficiency scores continue to decline. Parents and students should be able to choose the school that best performs.
  • NH’s status as the highest energy cost state in the US is a pressing issue. We need to invest in energy-efficient technology like natural gas, nuclear, and other proven cost-saving options. The looming August electric rate increase is a stark reminder of the urgency of this matter.
According to the State Constitution, the state government must protect the rights of the citizens of New Hampshire. The citizens of New Hampshire must be the rightful drivers to make any changes to our constitution. Not unelected commissions
My dad and his ancestors who fought for our freedoms throughout this country's history.
Honesty, transparency, and continued dialog with your citizen's needs and concerns.
I am a uniter and believe in total transparency and honesty.
Anyone running for office must understand that they are the voice of the people they represent and should be accountable to their constituents.
Someone who took action rather than just talked.
I began babysitting at the age of 11 and continued until I was 15, doing so every day after school. Afterward, I got my first waitress job, which I held throughout high school. Following this, I worked as an office manager at Electrolux for several years and then transitioned into banking, where I spent a significant portion of my career.
Climbing the corporate ladder during a time when men held most executive positions.
The legislature creates laws, and the Governor enforces them. A productive working relationship is essential.
NH continues to lose its youth to other states due to the availability of quality higher education, and high-paying jobs. We have for a long time been a retirement community.
No, I don't. I do feel it's important for legislators to have a diverse background.
Absolutely! It's important to not only have input from your constituents but also other legislators who might have additional experience and opinions.
Economic Development, Education,
These are the funds of the citizens whether they be property taxes, sales tax or federal funds and should be used and accounted for in a transparent manner. Citizens deserve proper audits of spending to ensure funds are being used to improve our state and not simply maintain status quo. They also deserve to know and understand any mandates are tied to any federal funding.
Anytime we receive input from the public on state initiatives is beneficial. After all, we work for them.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in New Hampshire

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.
