I've spent my career in New Hampshire state government and politics, both as a high-level government insider and as a statewide policy director and field organizer. In my years as Communications and Policy Director for the Speaker of the NH House of Representatives, I played an integral role in shaping policy on a range of issues including education, environment, and labor, and have worked closely with nearly all the legislative Committees. I also served as point person for all budget related matters and all issues that came before the Joint Fiscal Committee, and have in-depth insight into how these negotiations and processes work.

I also have a decade of experience in election law and voting rights issues in New Hampshire. Through this work I've forged relationships with officials in the State House and around the state, and have built one of the leading coalition groups in NH. In all of my political and government work, I have a strong bipartisan record and close relationships with Democrats and Republicans at all levels of state government.

Our entire Preti Strategies team is made up of government "insiders" who have served many years as elected or administration officials or senior level advisors. Together, we have extensive knowledge and an extensive network of connections. We've spent our careers in government and public affairs, and we love putting our experience to work for our clients to help shape policy and advance important business interests.
