I am a 26-year Hooksett resident, former social service worker and current educator who is running to represent Hooksett in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. I am writing to ask for votes in the upcoming general election on Nov. 6. I am running to protect our economic rights, our rights and dignity as individuals, our health and our environment. In Concord, I will vote against diverting our tax dollars to private schools, continually shifting costs from the state level to the town and city level, and lessening the rights of working people. I will support bills that are economically and socially just. I will listen to the concerns of the Hooksett voters, take educated stands on the issues and vote to protect our most vulnerable citizens. Please consider a vote for me on Nov. 6.
