Proud to Serve NH District 10

As New Hampshire’s State Senator for District 10, Molly Kelly has built a reputation as an independent voice, working seamlessly and successfully with both Democrats and Republicans to find common-sense solutions to the problems facing New Hampshire and the nation.

Since her election to the Senate in 2006, Senator Kelly’s bi-partisan approach has succeeded in building a significant record of legislative accomplishments – strengthening the role of education in our state and ensuring safety in our schools which, in turn, secures the health and prosperity of local businesses; guaranteeing gay marriage as a civil right; and protecting the natural resources of New Hampshire.

In the 2009-2010 biennial session Senator Kelly has accomplished:

Sponsored a tax credit bill to help small New Hampshire businesses create new jobs by encouraging and promoting the sustainability of advanced manufacturing and “energy efficient” products – one of the most important slices of the New Hampshire’s economy
Passage of SB 180 (as sponsor and Chair of Senate Education Committee), the School Accountability Bill. The last piece in a 20-year constitutional process, passage of this legislation establishes an accountability system for the state’s public schools, ensuring the opportunity for an adequate education for the children of New Hampshire
Passage of SB 153 (sponsor), the “Auto Dealer Bill of Rights”, which provides additional financial and legal protections for local auto dealers, their employees and consumers. This includes oversight of the broker-dealer community, regular review and evaluation of marketing materials and regulatory examinations, thereby ensuring the protection and long-term health of Cheshire County’s automobile dealerships
Passage of SB 115, strengthening the Healthy Kids Corporation Program, which establishes a young adult “buy in” program providing affordable health insurance with no gaps

Through her efforts, Senator Kelly has been a vital force in balancing the state budget, focusing on helping the people of New Hampshire through these difficult times and spurring the state’s economy. The budget reflects New Hampshire values: 100% funding for education, 100% funding for school building aid. And the budget prioritizes the most vulnerable among us, while also protecting the vitality of our state’s families and businesses.
