Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I am running for state representative because I believe in the same values as we all do here in New Hampshire. In my years as a resident of Manchester, I have chosen to dedicate myself to help establish and ensure a quality education for the students of the Manchester School District. I have also chosen to work within the community, alongside many residents, business leaders and others, to bring issues of crime, quality of life and economic growth to our city government and will do the same in our state government.
