Case Studies of Women in New Hampshire Politics Case studies of women in New Hampshire politics: An exploration of the barriers and supports for political candidates and incumbents By Kathy L. DesRoches Submitted to Plymouth State University College of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Education September 30, 2014 AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Kathy L. DesRoches for the degree of Doctor of Education in Learning, Leadership and Community presented on September 30, 2014. Title: Case Studies of Women in New Hampshire politics: An exploration of the barriers and supports for political candidates and incumbents Abstract approved: __________________________________________________________ Pamela L. Clark, Ph.D. Dissertation Committee Chair The intent of this study was to discover what could be learned from the experiences of the five women in elected political leadership roles in New Hampshire that would be instructive to other women interested in seeking public office and could be used to encourage and support more women candidates. Using a multiple case study approach, each woman was interviewed and books, newspapers accounts, and other electronic documents were used as supporting documentation. The results of the women’s stories revealed that relationships and prior experience provide foundational support for women running for office. Relationships offer opportunities for recruitment, mentoring, and networking. Experience helps women to gain the skills, wisdom, and confidence to run for and succeed in office. While the women described fundraising and balancing their families and careers as challenging, they did not identify either of these or any other factor as a barrier in their journeys to public office in New Hampshire. ©Copyright by Kathy L.

This project could not have been completed without their assistance. I want to thank my chair, Dr. Pamela Clark, who has provided support and guidance throughout my process and my committee Dr. Kathleen McCabe, who has left oranges for me along this journey, and Dr. Christie Sweeney, and the faculty at PSU. I will always remember the day when I realized that this was the perfect program for me. I want to recognize my doctoral cohort. The cohort has scaffolded me through the past four years and I’m grateful. We have shared a lot; they’ve become friends and colleagues. I want to acknowledge the librarians at Manchester Community College. They have been cheerful despite my endless requests for interlibrary loans. I would like to dedicate this work to my husband: Stuart Thompson and three of the most important women in my life: my grandmother, Evelyn Foss; my sister, Lisa Nugent; and my niece, Monique DesRoches.

SENATE RACE Defense Cuts Governor Gregg maintains that defense cuts are necessary but at a careful and cautious rate. The cuts he supports are at a level slightly higher than those proposed by the President, but lower than Bill Clinton1s defense cut proposal. The Governor's Democratic opponent, John Rauht wants a 50% defense cut over five years. None of the savings would be applied to the budget deficit but would instead go wholly to retraining programs. Governor Gregg believes that this drastic cut is irresponsible, would wreak economic havoc on New Hampshire's defense dependent industry1 would force the closing of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and would cripple the nation's ability to respond to military threats.

  • GOP Ties to Help Site Search Get Independent Presidential E Hands-On Service Theatre Candidate Iialph Nader on the Nov
    ************************************************************* Kathy Sullivan, Chair September 23,2004 - Lawrence Norton, Esquire General Counsel Federal Election Commission 999 E Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20463 C RE: Complaint of the New Hampshire Democratic Party Against Nader for Choices for America, and Norway Hill Associates, Inc., MUR 55 13 Dear Mr. Norton: r- On August 10, 2004, the New Hampshire Democratic Party filed the above-referenced complaint with respect to activities of Norway Hill Associates, Inc. in collecting signatures to get Ralph Nader on the ballot as a candidate for President in the State of New Hampshire. Based upon additional information that has come to our attention, including the FEC filing made by the Nader Campaign this past week, we would like to s’upplementthe complaint filed August 10,2004. We believe that this FEC filing establishes coordination betweenSNorwayHil1and the Nader Campaign. We also believe it shows Norway Hill and the Nader Campaign are now working in concert to “cure” impermissible in-kind corporate donations by attributing these donations to individuals after the fact. As stated in our August 10,2004 complaint, Norway Hill Associates, Inc., a New Hampshire for profit corporation, undertook a signature drive to get Ralph Nader on the ballot in New Hampshire. According to published press reports on August 10, 2004 (see Portsmouth HeraZd, August 10,2004, attached as Exhibit A), aNader spokesman denied knowledge of the petition effort. Earlier press reports raised questions of whether Republican signature gatherers were making in-kind donations to the Nader campaign. (See Union Leader, August 8, 2004, attached as Exhibit B.) . When asked on August 9th about whether Norway Hill had made an in-kind donation, the company’s principal, David Carney, said he hadn’t yet figured out what it was.

Gracious and loving God, We turn to you this day, for you are the source of all that is good. Send upon these, your daughters and sons, a renewed longing for what is right and what is just. They have offered themselves and have been chosen by the people of our State to serve the common good. As each rep- resents their own constituents, they gather as one body to advance the good of the whole of New Hampshire. Guide them in their deliberations so that they may strive to promote the dignity intrinsic to every human being. Lead them to discover anew how to build a more equitable society at a time when the forces of individu- alism drown the voices of unity, where ego has replaced altruism. May informed and prudent wisdom be their counsel. Reveal to them, through their open and honest debates, the path leading to shared achievements and together may they forge forward. Seal them daily with the visceral knowledge that they are never alone, that you are at their side, rewarding them for serving their brothers and sisters.
