I’m immensely pleased to announce my candidacy as a Republican candidate for State Representative, from Merrimack County, District 5 (Andover, Danbury, Hill, Salisbury, and Webster). Deeply touched by random strangers thanking me for my public service, it has been a great privilege to serve in this capacity for the past two years, and I seek […]
People who know me have heard me voice significant concerns about Medicare Advantage plans. From a consumer perspective, there is a significant lack of transparency in what many plans offer and the wide range of plans available — some better, some substantially worse. In addition, it’s a zero-sum game. If you’re being offered a perk […]
On April 11, the House voted 239-132 OTP/A on proposed cannabis regulations. I voted ‘Aye’ as part of the 18.64% of other Republicans voting in the affirmative for HB1633 sponsored by a Republican with five others as co-sponsors. It was a bit of a ‘“walk on the wild side” due to concerns about adults potentially […]
Thank you Tyler Czarkowski for “America needs systemic change” (online, Concord Monitor, April 20). You are so right! I urge you to consider that all politics starts locally. Plenty is happening within our state of New Hampshire that is driven by a national agenda driven by billionaires. Many of our New Hampshire representatives are funded […]

A sightseeing couple driving by stopped and provided aid and called 911 and stayed with her until I came running out and Vick and Jon arrived. Next on the scene […]
The topic I would like to cover this month involves Compassionate Care of vulnerable adults. What happens when you suspect or believe in good faith that an adult is having difficulty to the extent they are, for example, vulnerable to losing their home; not getting enough to eat; living in unsafe conditions; unable to manage […]
Happy May. The black flies are out, the frogs are peeping, and it is time to go fishing! As you know Memorial Day will be observed at the end of May. It is time to reflect and honor on this day (and every day of the year) the men and women who gave their lives […]
As the legislative session comes to a close, it is essential for voters to understand what bills your legislator sponsored and what they voted for or against. The current Republican legislature is very different from the Republican legislature of 25 years ago that worked to make the quality of life in New Hampshire number one […]
Scott and I want to extend a very sincere thank you for picking out our ticket in your recent Raffle for Red Sox Opening Day with the gift card for the Cask and Flagon restaurant. The whole experience was once in a lifetime. We were a bit overwhelmed with all the Red Sox fans, wearing […]
