"Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. As education costs continue to rise across the Lakes Region and throughout New Hampshire, we must ensure students receive a high-quality education while demanding accountability, transparency, and responsible stewardship from our towns and school administrators.

"As a mother, classroom and PTA volunteer, I understand the importance of parental involvement and supporting students as individuals. I support strong public schools, career and technical education, and school choice so families can find learning environments that best match their children's strengths, goals, and learning style.

"As your State Representative, I will champion educational opportunity, parental involvement, local decision-making, and responsible spending that serves both students and taxpayers."
