I have dedicated my entire career to helping others. I am committed to continuing my lifelong goal of serving others, now at the community level, in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. However, our democracy is not a spectator sport. Representatives grappling with complex issues in the House need your input, support, donations, and votes to be effective. Your involvement in the political process is crucial, and I urge you to join me on this journey. I started the medical field as a Nurse Anesthesiologist, practicing anesthesia and pain management for adults and children. I became an RN, then earned my anesthesia credentials at the Cleveland Clinic, a BA from Ottawa University, and a Master's from Rush University (all without loans). I became a presenter/educator nationwide on anesthesia and pain management topics. I married Lynne Bloomquist, BA, MBA, and we have three children (Heidi and her family live in Ward 10!). I am running for the New Hampshire House of Representatives in Concord, New Hampshire, Ward 10 District 24. He says, VOTE FOR THOM BLOOMQUIST IN NOVEMBER.

- I will work collaboratively for budgetary solutions to finance such programs using existing financial resources – that is, no additional taxes.
I am an advocate for nurses, first responders, seniors, and the military/vets
In his speech when he was elected speaker of the house, he advised all of the legislators to view each other as colleagues and friends, not enemies. This is sage wisdom. I believe we must get away from adversarial relationships, lies, and disinformation, every statement being a hyperbole, and work for the good of the citizens.
