Community Commitment
I am dedicated to Merrimack's future, focusing on housing affordability and energy costs. My husband Mark and I moved to Merrimack in 1991.Â
Â
We raised our 2 (now grown) children in Merrimack. We enjoy living in Merrimack and especially appreciate Wasserman Park and Horse Hill preserve.Â
My Platform: The Roadmap to Affordability
I am committed to ensuring that Merrimack becomes a place where everyone has a safe and affordable home. This will require long-term investment in our community's infrastructure.
Â
I believe that affordable housing is a cornerstone of a thriving, resilient Merrimack.
Housing Affordability
Energy Costs
Lowering energy costs is essential for our local economy. We will work to secure long-term energy rate stability and promote local renewable energy initiatives that empower our residents and protect our earth.
School Funding & Tax Burden
I will work to address how we fund our schools so that Merrimack families are not overburdened by property taxes while still giving students the resources they need.
I will be a strong environmental steward, protect Merrimack’s natural resources, and work on environmental issues like cyanobacteria outbreaks in our rivers and lakes, and PFAS in our drinking water.
Protecting Merrimack’s Environment
No Income Taxes
New Hampshire needs sources of revenue, but an income tax is not the solution. We can restore the business profits tax and the business enterprise tax to levels, among other things, to fund the projects and infrastructure that New Hampshire needs. Â
No Sales Taxes
Sales tax is not the answer to New Hampshire's need for revenue. I will explore other options, including restoring the interest and dividends tax.Â
