Address accessing quality & affordable health care

I'm a lifelong health care advocate and Democratic activist.

I've worked in health care for forty years: twenty years in laboratory medicine and hospitals, and twenty as a health care attorney. Currently, we have no one on the Executive Council with a health care background, despite health and human services being the largest share of our state budget. Now in the midst of a public health crisis, this expertise is desperately needed. I've seen the challenges many Granite Staters face in accessing quality, affordable health care, including reproductive health care, mental health, and substance use disorder treatment. I will work to expand access and lower costs for New Hampshire families.

I'm also an activist. I started knocking on doors two decades ago to elect Democratic candidates. From chairing my town committee, to now chairing the New Hampshire Democratic Party's Platform Committee, I know our Democratic values, I how to fight for them, and I know how to get the job done.

Health care is a basic human right, including mental health

More than 40 years ago, I began working in health care. I saw the cracks in our health care system and the many people who tragically fell through them. This drove me to go to law school to be a health care attorney and to engage in the political process.

I have been knocking on doors for universal health care ever since. Health care is a basic human right, including mental health, oral health and reproductive health, and we need elected officials who will not only fight for that but who understand how to fix our broken system. That is why I am running for office.

We're facing the most dire public health crisis of our lifetime. Yet, no one on our Executive Council has a health care background.

I know what's in our state contracts. I know what to ask. I know where we can hold state contractors accountable to lower costs and expand access.
