STATE SENATE, District 15
Also part of the A Seat at the Table initiative are races ‘On the Radar’ where we highlight primaries with multiple candidates who will fight to protect our reproductive rights. A Seat at the Table was designed by Annie to support women running for state and local office in New Hampshire, helping to build a bench of progressive leaders for generations to come.
Below are the two candidates running for State Senate to represent District 15 who Annie Kuster knows will stand up and fight for our reproductive rights.
Meet them now!
CANDACE BOUCHARD
In her career, Candace Bouchard (D-Concord) has represented Concord Ward 9 in the New Hampshire State Legislature and the City Council. Candace is running for State Senate because now, more than ever, we need experienced, progressive leaders with a proven track record of accomplishment. While on both the Concord City Council and in the NH House of Representatives, Candace fought to support public schools, strengthen working families, create jobs and a more family-friendly economy, protect our natural resources, and support women’s health care rights, just to name a few.
Candace is proud of her reputation as a champion for those who sometimes slip through the cracks, for those who need a hand-up and for those who live uncomfortably close to the edge. We’ve learned during the COIVD-19 crisis is that the edge is closer than many of us would like to admit. In the State Senate, Candace will focus on providing those in need with a safety net, while simultaneously working to make all our futures more prosperous.
BECKY WHITLEY
Becky Whitley (D-Contoocook) is a lawyer who has dedicated her entire career to public service, standing up for the issues that matter to Granite Staters. She's running for New Hampshire Senate District 15 because she wants to be a voice for all Granite Staters.
As a disability rights lawyer, climate activist, and child health advocate, Becky has the expertise and tenacity needed to take on the toughest issues, as well as the hands-on experience in creating systemic change.
The Councilor for District 5 represents the cities and towns of Concord, Henniker, Hopkinton, Warner.
