Running in Sullivan County District 9

ABOUT MARGARET
I once read a short essay my mother wrote about her grandmother, who was an immigrant from Ireland. Apparently, my great-grandmother loved baseball and politics - national, state and local. I never met my great-grandmother, but I definitely inherited her love of both baseball and politics.

So, I guess you could say that politics is in my blood. I have been active in campaigns since I was a teenager, but I have never run myself...until now.

Home-schooling our nine children has been my priority for the last 30 years, but now everyone is over 21! In that time, I've been very active in our community (rescue squad, 4-H, multiple town committees) and have gotten to know a lot about our town and the Upper Valley.

I'd like to take that experience and knowledge to Concord. I'm looking for your support in this election for Sullivan County District 9 - Plainfield, Cornish, Grantham, Springfield, Unity, Sunapee, Croydon, and Newport.
ON THE ISSUES...

Opioid Epidemic

As an EMT, I see the opioid crisis up close and personal. We need to continue to fund treatment options, education, and law enforcement programs that get help for those affected.

Charter Schools

One size does not necessarily fit all when it comes to education. Charter schools offer a way to provide the different focus and process that some students need to succeed.

Higher Education

We need to examine and support ways to expand access to higher education. One example is dual enrollment programs for high schoolers woking with community colleges.

Community Colleges

Our community colleges are hidden jewels. They teach skills for jobs that communities need and, working with the university system, offer a more affordable way to get college credits.
