Erica Russell for NH State House | Merrimack District 25 (Franklin & Northfield)

Endurance to Lead. Compassion to Serve.

While spending decades caring for New Hampshire families as a Nurse Midwife and Nurse Practitioner, I trained for and completed several Ironman competitions. Now retired, I want to bring that discipline and experience to the New Hampshire State House to represent the citizens of Franklin and Northfield.

A Lifetime of Listening. The Strength to Deliver.

I've learned that it is not enough to just treat symptoms — you have to listen to the patient. I am committed to bringing that same focus to Concord ensuring that the voices of Franklin and Northfield are heard.

How Healthcare Expertise Benefits District 25:

Navigating Systems: As a medical provider, I know how to cut through red tape to get families the care they need. I will apply that same problem-solving approach to representing you in state government.
Evidence-Based Policy: I am trained to look at data and outcomes. I will prioritize practical proven solutions for our community.
Advocacy: Having spent a career advocating for patients in high-stress environments, I am prepared to stand up for the safety and well-being of all of the citizens of Franklin and Northfield.

Why vote for Erica?

My approach to leadership is rooted in the same practical 'fixit' mentality that gets a bicycle across the country or a patient through a health crisis: you look at the facts, you identify the problem, you prescribe the solution, and apply the treatment.

No Downshifting

I oppose the downshifting of costs from the state to our local cities and towns. When the state fails to meet its obligations, it forces our local property taxes to rise. I believe that the state must fulfill its responsibilities under the law ensuring that Franklin and Northfield aren't left picking up the tab for state-level mandates.

Strong Public Education

I believe in our public schools. Good schools are the backbone of a strong economy and a healthy community for our children and grandchildren. Better schools mean a better future for our cities and towns. Prioritizing public education will attract business investment and lead to more engaged citizens.
