About
I have always been a lifelong Democrat (which is funny to say at the age of 23). My parents were immigrants from Québec, my father was a union carpenter down in Boston, and my mother did not speak English when she moved to the United States but worked and studied hard to pass the citizenship test, successfully doing so in 2010. What drove me to political activism was when I was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer at age ten. Seeing my family nearly go bankrupt because their ten year old son had cancer while the hospital charged us $40 per single pill of Tylenol added insult to injury. That is when I knew the system needed to change.
After getting active in school government in high school, I ran for school board in 2020 after my local school board ignored my concerns related to maintenance. That is when I realized that state funding of education was wholly inadequate. That issue along with my personal passion for electoral reform, criminal justice reform, and obviously healthcare drove me to run for state representative in 2020.
I was elected State Representative for Amherst after successfully flipping my seat, making Amherst a safe blue district. During my term in the state house, I was able to help pass 7 pieces of legislation and single-handedly defeated Republican HCR7 through parliamentary maneuvering.
Experience
NHDP State Committee Member (2020-2022)
From my election as an Alternate Delegate to the DNC in 2020, I served on the state committee, taking on an active role in party matters.
State Representative for Amherst (2020-2022)
In November 2020, at the age of 18, I was elected to serve the position of a lifetime as State Representative for the Town of Amherst. During my two-year term, I was able to help in the passage of seven pieces of legislation. I was also able to single-handedly lead to the defeat of Republican HCR 7.
DNC Alternate Delegate 2020
As stated earlier, I was chosen to be an Alternate Delegate to the 2020 Democratic National Convention. I have been engaged in party politics since before I had the right to vote. Although we were unable to attend a convention in person, this was still an amazing lifetime privilege.
Treasurer Amherst Democratic Town Committee 2020-2021
Again, at the age of 18, I was elected to serve as Treasurer of the Amherst Democratic Town Committee, where I served for a year before handing over my duties shortly after becoming a state representative. I had started attending town committee meetings at the age of 17 and have been actively engaged before then with the New Hampshire Young Democrats and New Hampshire High School Democrats.
