“I grew up in NH. My family valued nature. After high school, I served with AmeriCorps’ North Country Community Corps, leading an environmental stewardship and education youth program. I spent two summers with the Student Conservation Association (SCA) leading youth trail work and environmental education in Pittsburgh parks. I recruited students nationwide for SCA’s National Park and Forest programs. After 16 years in Pittsburgh, I moved back to NH to raise my kids with the sense of environmental stewardship I got from my upbringing.

As a US Congressional Candidate, I took the Green New Deal Pledge. As an elected official, I will fight to codify the Green New Deal’s goals into federal law and secure the federal investments needed to implement it. The Green New Deal provides a clear path to preserve and expand land-based resources—ensuring New Hampshire’s open spaces, state parks, and clean water infrastructure receive the resources they deserve. I would support the reintroduction of the Protect Our Parks Act so NH’s national parks are fully staffed. I recently met with the Commissioner of NH Fish and Game to learn what matters most to him. We plan to continue our collaboration.”

“I am a registered nurse. I know the science behind vaccines. I have administered vaccines in my work. A main reason I am running for office is because there are only 3 nurses in Congress. As a NH State Representative, my nursing background was pivotal. I had the inside legislative perspective and understood the science of health bills. I am running on a Medicare for All platform. Under Medicare for All, immunizations will be covered under its mandate for comprehensive primary and preventive care with zero out-of-pocket costs for every American. I back the reintroduction of Protecting Free Vaccines Act, the Family Vaccine Protection Act, the Strengthening the Vaccines for Children Program Act of 2026 and Federal Investment in Grants for Health Transportation and Flu-vaccination Local Units Act of 2026. These acts preserve/expand vaccine access or ensure immunization recommendations are science-based. Passing these federal laws will grant Granite Staters access to needed vaccines. Politicians can collaborate with scientists to make informed policy decisions. I would draw upon my own background and seek out advice from experts to inform my legislative decisions.”

“My goal to codify the Green New Deal into federal law covers these crucial issues. The Green New Deal addresses these climate concerns through a job creation framework centered on infrastructure jobs targeting 21st century climate concerns.

We must reform the National Flood Insurance Program. The current program imposes high premiums on working people. I support the reintroduction of the Housing Survivors of Major Disasters Act to ensure people get needed resources when hit by natural disaster. I back policies like the Make Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act so corporate polluters pay directly into a federal climate damages fund, which would compensate hard-hit New Hampshire industries like maple sugaring and winter recreation. I will fight to secure the infrastructure and clean energy funding already promised to NH communities. We must restore FEMA’s BRIC grants and utilize the National Culvert Replacement program to expand undersized culverts in the North Country and build ‘living shorelines’ on the Seacoast to handle unprecedented stormwater runoff.”

“I support the No Robots Act but want legislation to go further to ensure workers have a seat at the table when companies are making decisions about how to use AI. Such initiatives will support NH workers to maintain employment and be empowered as this new technology advances. Strong regulation is needed for AI. I back the reintroduction of the AI Data Center Bill of Rights to give Americans and local communities greater control over the construction and operation of AI data centers. I back ongoing Mandatory Environmental Transparency Reports that Data Centers must submit while the center is in operation. Implementing measures like these at the federal level will better equip New Hampshire to face future data center proposals in the state. We must prohibit data centers from being built on federal lands. Workers must be at the center of AI development, and community members must be at the center of decisions about data centers.”

“I believe developing alternative energy sources must contribute to our country’s future energy mix. Again, I think of the Green New Deal, which would impact our entire country. It addresses multiple pressing issues at once. Building out renewable energy, fortifying our infrastructure to be more climate-resilient and building or upgrading grids paired with union labor standards, prevailing wages, and real apprenticeship pipelines is a way to address climate while preserving job access. In New Hampshire, that starts with offshore wind in the Gulf of Maine — it eases strain on our regional grid and creates union construction and electrical jobs right here. I’ll also fight to restore the clean energy tax credits gutted by the 2025 reconciliation bill.”
