Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I grew up in a small town where hard work and looking out for your neighbors meant everything. My dad’s union job at GE gave our family a shot at the American Dream, and I’m running to make sure every family gets that same chance.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• When families can’t find affordable homes or quality childcare, it doesn’t just hurt them—it holds back our entire economy. I believe every family should be able to afford a roof over their heads and a safe place for their kids while they work.
• I believe every woman deserves the freedom to make her own healthcare decisions without interference from politicians or bureaucrats. It's about trusting women and their doctors, not imposing the government’s will on personal choices.
• I believe now more than ever, we need our educators, parents, and lawmakers to come together and stand up for our public schools. It's about defending high standards and ensuring that every child, no matter where they live or what they look like, has the opportunity to succeed.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Some Top policy issues I am personal passionate about include:

Reproductive Rights: Protecting reproductive freedoms, including the right to make personal healthcare decisions without political interference, ensuring access to reproductive health services for women in New Hampshire.

Economic Opportunity: Advocate for policies that create pathways for economic advancement and opportunities, referencing my personal experience with achieving the American Dream.

Public Education: Emphasize the need to strengthen public schools as the foundation of the community, oppose policies that threaten resources, increase class sizes, or weaken educational standards. Supports equitable funding and resources to ensure every child receives a quality e

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

My entire career has been about digital transformation and helping global companies leverage technology to reach the next level of performance. A book that captures this journey well is "What Got You Here Won't Get You There" by Marshall Goldsmith. It’s a business and self-help book that explores the behaviors and habits that may have contributed to a person's success but are also likely to hold them back from reaching the next level. The key takeaway is that success at one stage does not guarantee success at the next; instead, individuals need to adapt and change their behaviors to continue growing and achieving new goals. This book is particularly popular among business leaders and professionals looking to refine their leadership skills and make a positive impact.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

I believe we need leadership that reflects the values of our community, values such as hard work, fairness, and opportunity for all.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

I believe the core responsibilities of an elected official are to show up on time, be prudent, and listen to all sides to truly understand the issues. It’s essential to reach across the aisle and engage with all stakeholders to develop bipartisan solutions that address the needs of our community.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

working on my Grandfathers tobacco farm. Starting at 6 years old through high school

What committees interest you?

Judicial, education, and science

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

I am a strong advocate for transparency and accountability in all areas of government and business operations. A key responsibility of government is to develop and maintain the trust of its constituents. Timely disclosure of financial statements and assessments of the success or failure of key policy initiatives are essential. These practices not only help refine policies to be more efficient but also build and sustain trust within the community.
