Maxine’s Experience

  • To fight for public schools. We have gone long enough with inequitable opportunities for our children with some receiving much less than others because of their zip code. 

  • To fight for all individual rights and liberties. Women’s bodies are not property and should never be regulated by laws, policies or religion. We need to come together and stand against those who want to minimize and silence women’s voices, choices and rights. 

  • To fight for property tax relief and support affordable housing, and childcare initiatives. Whether you are a young person, have a family, or an empty nester; you should be able to stay in your community through access to affordable housing, fair property taxes, and accessible child care.

  • There are so many issues to be concerned about and too few warriors. I will be a strong voice in Concord for the protection of our rights and to support public education in the State of New Hampshire.
