As a former NH State Senator, I bring a strong knowledge of the legislative process, and am nimble in working the interplay between the legislature and NH Administrative agencies. Because of my long career in healthcare administration and policy development, I was the "go to" for issues surrounding healthcare and those issues that required intense Administrative Agency involvement. My reputation is one of building and maintaining excellent relationships with legislators of both parties, Department Heads and influential state employees. I have had long and significant involvement with key nonprofit agencies across the state and have been frequently recognized for my community work.

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.
