Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a New Hampshire native running for State Representative in Manchester's Ward 12 (Hillsborough District 18). I'm running to be a fresh voice for our community, to work hard for families and businesses, and to help position New Hampshire for the future while preserving the "Live Free or Die" spirit that makes our state such a wonderful place.

In my professional life, I work at an advertising agency, where I'm responsible for evaluating plans and negotiating the best possible value for clients. I look forward to bringing the same strategic approach to the New Hampshire State House as I advocate for our district's priorities.

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?

Expand the economic potential of the Granite State through business development efforts, investments in key sectors, and policies that improve quality of life for working familiesStrengthen and modernize New Hampshire's infrastructure with a focus on sustainable technology and increased options for transportationProtect our state's natural resources, including preserving the lakes, mountains and beaches that attract visitors year-round and keeping our water sources clean

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I plan to prioritize the day-to-day issues that impact life in New Hampshire the most, from access to employment and education to the safety of our communities. As a young professional myself, I also believe it's important to grow our in-state opportunities so that recent grads can plant roots close to home, and newcomers choose to open businesses and raise families in our state. Lastly, I am passionate about protecting civil liberties: I will work to defend bodily autonomy, voting rights, and free speech so that we are all free to make personal decisions without state interference.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Yes, relationship-building is integral to the democratic process. Collaboration and communication are necessary to create legislation, and we instinctively work best with those who we have a personal rapport with. By building relationships with one another, legislators can develop shared objectives and work together to meet the needs of the moment. In today's hyper-partisan environment, relationship-building is more important now than ever.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Absolutely! It is neither realistic nor desirable for policymakers to be in complete agreement on every issue. Often times, the best outcomes are the result of all sides bringing their ideas to the table, listening to one another, and finding areas of common ground. Policymakers at all levels must be willing to compromise and work together in order to effectively serve their constituents.
