As a New Hampshire native and Conway resident for 22 years, Ellin Leonard understands the issues affecting youth, working families and seniors. As a former Conway Budget Committee member and Library Trustee, she's familiar with Conway's financial and cultural underpinning. That knowledge will serve her well as Conway's NH State Representative.
We must work together to strengthen our public schools and ensure students have the resources they need to succeed. Now the NH GOP is working with national anti-public school groups to weaken schools like Kennett High School so they eventually fail. Think what our lovely town would be like without Kennett and all our adorable elementary schools. I will not allow it to happen.
I will promote legislation supporting state investment in water and sewer infrastructure to help communities like Conway build more housing for first time buyers, young families, working residents and seniors.
For six straight years the GOP majority in Concord has been cutting state taxes for the super rich and multinational corporations. Think Walmart. Then downshifting the costs to towns thus forcing property tax increases. I will fight for policies that reverse that trend and ensure the state pays its fair share for Conway's essential services.
As your Conway New Hampshire State Representative I will bring state resources and solutions to meet Conway's local challenges while protecting the quality of life that makes our community special.
I will work to ensure we preserve the natural beauty that surrounds the Mount Washington Valley. As someone who grew up enjoying our lakes I am especially interested in conservation and clean water issues.
