Sen. Carson Participates in Rivier College Panel on Women in Politics
Concord, NH – Saying she is always ready to share her experience in politics and encourage others to consider public service, Sen. Sharon Carson, R-Londonderry, participated in a panel discussion on Women in Politics at Rivier College in Nashua on November 16th. She was joined by Sen. Molly Kelly, D-Keene, and Nashua Mayor Donnalee Lozeau, as well as several other former female legislators.
“It’s always a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with other women who are involved in New Hampshire politics,” Carson said. “The Rivier College event gave us the unique opportunity to address a group of young women and men about how they can become involved in the political process. New Hampshire is a place where you can definitely break into politics at any age so long as you have a strong message and are willing to give voters a straight answer when they ask because, in my experience, that is definitely what they expect and deserve.”
Sen. Carson is currently in her second term serving District 14 that includes Londonderry, Hudson and Auburn. For the 2011-2012 legislative session, she sits on the Education and Judiciary Committees, along with Executive Departments & Administration which she chairs.
Michaeline Dellafera, the author of two books, “Women at the Table: 40 Intimate Profiles of Political Women of the Northeast” and “Thirteen Women: Inside New Hampshire’s First Female Majority Senate”, served as the moderator for the event.
