I’ve run for public office three times over the past five years. Each time, I was asked to run by people in #NHPolitics who I respect and admire. These are people I’ve had the great fortune to work with towards the shared goal of making our state a better place for everyone to live in. I always told them “yes” because there’s a vanishingly small number of people in our state during any given year that have the personal and professional stability to give their lives up for the good of the people.
