Key Legislative Accomplishments
Co-Sponsored HB1763, establishing a committee to study siting and maintenance rules regarding certain intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) and acquired brain disorder (ABD) community residences. This bill addresses a concerns of Hollis residents regarding a community residents home located in Hollis. As a member of the committee, I am committed to working with state agencies to work within the framework of the law to create clear, actionable guardrails for community residences located within neighborhood settings.
Sponsored HB 11186
This bill, signed into law, provides greater protections to New Hampshire’s local and small-scale egg sellers, and prevent government overreach. Hollis egg farmers directly benefit from this law.
Led efforts to create a licensing pathway for Nature-Based Preschools. At the request of Beaver Brook Association Program Director Becky Kellner, I worked with the Department of Health and Human Services to address licensing regulations that are not compatible with the nature-based preschool model. This initiative positions Beaver Brook Association and New Hampshire as leaders in outdoor early education across New England.

ABOUT LIZ
Wife, mother, neighbor
My husband Ted and I moved to Hollis 27 years ago with our two children. Like many of you, we came to Hollis for the excellent schools, the acres of open farmland, and the strong sense of community that defines Hollis. From the moment we arrived, we knew that Hollis would be a community where we could set down roots for our family, a place where our children would thrive, and we would make long-lasting friendships that we could count on.
