My husband and I have lived in Thornton Gore for 50 years.There was no better place to raise our large family of 8 kids! Our small, but excellent public school gave them a strong, loving foundation which enabled them to succeed as they went on to further their educations and become happy, healthy, productive adults.

I too had a great public school education and earned an undergraduate degree in Biology from Plymouth State University and went on to graduate school in Marine Studies at UNH. I received a Masters in Education from PSU and taught Biology there for many years.

I love living here and want to work to keep our community the wonderful place that it is.
  • I am a retired educator who will work to keep our public school systm strong and free from censor.
  • I am committed to preserving and protecting the natural riches of this area, and will work to safeguard our natural resources.
  • I am committed to promoting respectful political discourse and am eager to work toward bipartisan solutions to the state's issues.
I am passionate about keeping our public school system in New Hampshire strong. Our children are our future.

I believe that the government has no business interfering in an individual's right to make their own healthcare decisions. I support the LGBTQ+ community and respect their civil liberties.

I care deeply about promoting affordable healthcare and prescription drugs, senior support services, affordable housing, good paying jobs and a living minimum wage, broadband internet access for all, and fair taxation,

We must put an end to the opioid rises and gun violence.

Scorecards

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

Ascorecard 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.
