Following retirement I settled in North Conway, with my husband Jim and it is our forever home. I was active in local politics serving as both a Selectman and on the Budget Committee. In 2008 I ran for State Representative and was elected to serve Conway, Bartlett, Jackson, Harts Location and Hales Location.

The census in 2010 resulted in my district changing to serve the people of Conway, Eaton, and Hales Location. I served this district until 2018. I returned to office in 2020 and eventually became Chairman of the House Finance Committee. While a State Representative, I served all but my first two years on the House Finance Committee primarily developing budgets for funding education, transportation, safety, Fish and Game and Police Standards and Training. It was extremely rewarding, and I believe I made a difference for my constituents and for the state.

The census occurred in 2020 and the district changed again to only representing Conway. I lost the election in 2022. However, that did not mean I have not been active in State politics. I worked with the Senate to build the 2024-2025 budget which ended up passing with a bipartisan vote in both the House and Senate. I have been appointed to the Law Enforcement Conduct Review Committee and the Drinking Water and Ground Water Advisory Committee. I have enjoyed working on both Committees as they provide me with a greater understanding of law enforcement and the problems the state is facing with drinking water and ground water.

Locally, I serve on the MWV Career Tech Center Regional Board as well as being elected as a Commissioner for the Conway Charter Commission.
