I’ve worked shoulder-to-shoulder with Becky Whitley for the past six months, though I’ve known her for longer. The best question I’ve received on the campaign trail came at the Concord Farmers Market one sunny Saturday morning: “Why did you choose to work for Becky?” I am proud to say that I work for Becky for the same reason I support her: because I believe in her lived values. I believe in her drive and ethics, in her necessary and timely expertise and experience, and yes, in her fresh perspective.
Becky Whitley is unafraid of change and the hard work that must happen in order to realize true progress. She is open to not just listening, but truly hearing what her community values, and then working to turn those values into a reality. Becky isn’t here for the photo op or because this is the “next step” – she is here for the opportunity to support and represent thousands of working families and Granite Staters who are so often left out of politics as usual.
We would all be lucky to have Becky Whitley in the New Hampshire Senate representing District 15. Her understanding of complex systems and the resulting policy implications is invaluable. Her ability to tackle old problems in a new way is necessary. Her experience as a disability rights attorney, climate action leader, and child health advocate – in crafting coalitions, building policy, and advocating real-world legislation – is holistic.
A vote for Becky is a vote for a better future for all Granite Staters.
