A life of service

Service has always come first

Don’s service has taken many forms: helping travelers, serving veterans, supporting adults with disabilities, volunteering in his community, and helping local Democratic candidates connect with voters.

After years spent supporting other candidates while building his career, retirement has given Don the opportunity to step forward and serve directly.

I spent many years helping other candidates because I believed in building a stronger New Hampshire. Now that I am retired, I have the time to serve directly. I am running to protect our public schools, support local taxpayers, care for our veterans, preserve the state I love, and make sure Belmont, Sanbornton, and Tilton have a strong voice in Concord.

A reason Don is running

Fair education funding starts with a stronger state partnership

Strong public schools matter to children, families, local communities, and New Hampshire’s future. Don believes the state should be a stronger partner in funding public education so local property taxpayers are not left carrying so much of the burden.
