I’m Hope Damon. I’m running for state rep in Sullivan District 8. I’ve lived in Croydon for 36 years. We need people in Concord who find common ground. My career as a dietitian and small business owner developed listening, negotiation, motivational and business skills. The granddaughter of a suffragette and daughter of a history teacher, I will use that history and energy to promote voter participation: every vote makes a difference. I will fight for increased state funding for quality public education, reducing local property taxes. Croydon nearly lost our public school this spring when the budget was slashed by 53%. I am a leader in the nonpartisan group WeStandUpForCroydon. Our collaborative efforts restored the school budget by a 377-2 vote!
l will advocate for women’s rights and maintaining access to safe, affordable health care, including reproductive rights. The Supreme Court has left it to state legislatures to protect the rights and freedoms of all people, they are on the ballot! I’m a board member and grants co-chair of NH Women’s Foundation, a statewide nonpartisan nonprofit improving the lives of women and girls through research, education, advocacy, philanthropy and grantmaking. I will represent you with a fair, smart, honest voice and the drive to make life better for ordinary folks. I need your support to be a voice for us in Concord.
Hope Damon
