Debora Pignatelli Represents the cities and towns of Amherst, Brookline, Dunbarton, Fitzwilliam, Goffstown, Greenville, Hinsdale, Hollis, Jaffrey, Keene, Lyndeborough, Mason, Merrimack, Milford, Mont Vernon, Nashua, New Boston, New Ipswich, Peterborough, Richmond, Rindge, Sharon, Swanzey, Temple, Troy, Wilton, and Winchester.

I am a 33 year resident of New Hampshire, living in Nashua.

I have spent the 17 years in elected office - 5 years in the House of Representatives, 10 years in the State Senate, and was elected to the Governor's Council 2 years ago. While in the State House and the State Senate, I sponsored and advocated for legislative initiatives increasing funding for education, returning state surplus money to cities and towns for property tax relief, establishing anti-stalking laws, funding statewide kindergarten, reforming campaign finance laws, increasing the age for child passenger seat belts from 12 years to 18 years, increasing the cigarette tax to deter children from smoking, enhancing environmental protection, improving the foster care system, bringing a Legal Assistance Office to Nashua, and curbing violent crime, including family violence.

Since my election to the Governor's Council, I have worked hard to minimize the practice of awarding NO BID contracts and retroactive contracts. I have also tried to make sure that the state is getting the best value for services purchased, thereby saving taxpayer money.

I have served as the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, Vice Chair of the Senate Environment Committee and as a member of many other Senate Committees, including Capital Budget, Health and Human Services, Public Affairs, Rules, Wildlife and Recreation, and Economic Development.
