Windham
Windham has been my home for twenty-three years. My husband Rob and I have been busy raising three children here, all educated in Windham schools. I have been elected to the Windham Planning Board three times and I am currently appointed to the Windham Economic Development Committee, serving as Chair, and to the Windham Housing Authority to bring affordable housing for seniors. In Concord, I serve on the New Hampshire Commission on Aging by appointment of the Governor. Now I ask my fellow Windham residents for your vote September 13th and November 8th for one of the four Windham State Representative seats in Concord.

"Just as spending money is not always the best fix, neither is every spending cut.
Spending wisely is the answer. I want to strengthen what is working, fix what is broken and get rid of what is not needed." ~ Kristi St. Laurent - candidate

Windham has much going for it |
Thirty percent of the New Hampshire population will be over the age of 65 by 2030. |
No quick fixes, inLet's start with demographics. New Hampshire is in the top three for 'oldest' and 'fastest aging' states. This is compounded by decreasing birth rates and one of the highest percentages of high school graduates leaving the state. Why do they leave? The high price of higher education (NH is lowest in support to our college and university system), the high housing cost and low availability of rental units (Rockingham County vacancy rates hover just above 1%). |
Common Sense Leadership in Concord
It is a job of a legislator to get real results for the people of their district and not get bogged down in ideological battles. The people of Windham deserve a Representative with a common sense, independent, and pragmatic approach to legislating. I will be that Representative. As I listen to residents, the issues I hear as important to Windham are keeping taxes low and spending them wisely while continuing to grow the NH economy, supporting seniors and veterans and retaining our young people. These issues are interconnected and must be strengthened both in Windham and throughout the State.
