Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a wife, mother, tax fighter and education reformist. I retired from audiology when I started my family. I have been fighting against excessive spending in education and education reform for 24 years.

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?

I will fight against an income tax. I want to keep the New Hampshire Advantage. States with an income tax have not reduced property taxes. You earned your money you should keep it. We have a spending problem not a funding problem. Low taxes are the result of small government.I will fight for property tax reform especially for seniors. RSA 72:39 allows for property tax reductions for seniors but the income levels are too low sitting at $13,400 for a single person and $20,400 for married persons. With the excessively high property taxes these income levels should be addressed in the next legislative session.

In 2032 there is a planned cut in social security of 22-24%. This will create a crisis for seniors who rely on social security. If property taxes continue to rise at the current pace, many seniors will be at risk for losing their homes.I want to keep the gains in freedom that have been achieved in New Hampshire over the last ten years. In 2017 we achieved Constitutional Carry and school choice with the Croydon bill. In 2025 we removed taxes on interests and dividends. In 2026 we removed car inspections and achieved homeschooling freedom. We live in the Live Free or Die state. Freedom and personal responsibility go together. I believe charity starts and home and is not the responsibility of the government. All these freedoms are at risk if democrats regain control.
