Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm native Hudson resident running for the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

I grew up here in Hudson, where my sister Victoria and I were raised by our amazing parents, Ted and Krista. More recently, I've worked for Governor Kelly Ayotte, studied politics at Saint Anselm College, and fought for legislation that will help our community.

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'm running because I know Hudson deserves representatives that will stand up for our values and put the needs of the public first.In Concord, I'll focus on the issues that make a difference to you and your family: lowering housing costs, fighting for better education and healthcare, and bringing new opportunities to New Hampshire.I'm committed to making sure you keep what you earn. That means no income and no sales tax, not ever.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Housing is the biggest expense for most families, and the skyrocketing cost of buying or renting a home in NH is forcing many to leave the communities they've lived in their whole lives. High costs are also stopping many young Granite Staters from being able to afford to stay in NH or start a family here.

If elected, I intend to focus on lowering housing costs and cutting the red tape that's holding back new homes in New Hampshire.
