ZOE HILL
Democrat · NH House Grafton 15
20, Democrat, Lebanon
Political experience: I have been testifying on legislation in the State House for the last four years.
Professional experience: I grew up in my parents’ diner, and I have worked in the service industry for six years.
Community service: In high school, I ran the Young Progressive Activists, including running multiple food drives.
Why are you running? I have seen firsthand how the attacks on our public schools affected my teachers and how, in turn, they affected us as students. I am running to bring the student voice to Concord.
Biggest issue: The biggest issue facing our state is the attacks on public schools. The first thing I would do to address it is to get rid of vouchers and increase state funding for public education by making big corporations like Amazon and Walmart pay their fair share.
