My name is Natalie Wells, and I am running for New Hampshire House of Representatives for District 25 (Andover, Danbury, Salisbury, Warner, and Webster). I have set down roots in Warner, raised two children, and now enjoy seeing my two grandchildren grow up.
My working life has been a diverse mix, including medical assistant, banking, and owner-operator of a small family business for 20 years. I’ve been active in the community as a deacon in my church, a Sunday school superintendent, and a Little League secretary.
The one constant in both my professional life and my volunteer activities is that I am willing to work long, hard hours to be successful and to help others succeed. I put 110% into whatever I do, and now I want to represent you in Concord.
Our Live Free or Die state has been consumed with political correctness which has infringed on our rights, makes it more difficult for parents to provide their children with the education they deserve, and taken away too much decision-making from our families and communities. Small businesses – the engine of our economy – are closing because of over-regulation and taxation. We need to change course.
Our New Hampshire college students are left with the highest debt of college loans in the country. We need to find ways to reduce in-state tuition and keep our children living and working in New Hampshire.
I stand firmly in the belief that the best government is a limited government focused on fulfilling its constitutional duties. If elected to the House, I promise to fight against any effort to impose a state sales tax or income tax. I will work to make sure government lives within our means to pay for it and will always favor individual liberty over greater government intervention and control.
I hope I have a chance to talk with you as I knock on doors in the coming months or meet you at community events. If you have any questions or would like to share your opinions with me, I may be reached at NatalieWells4NH@nullgmail.com or 456-2873.
