                    IN HONOR OF SENATOR BETTE LASKY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ANN M. KUSTER

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 21, 2018

  Ms. KUSTER of New Hampshire. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
State Senator Bette Lasky, who will retire from the New Hampshire 
Senate after nearly two decades of service to her hometown of Nashua.
  During her time at the Legislature, Senator Lasky has been a leading 
champion for voting rights, marriage equality, and the fight to bring 
commuter rail to New Hampshire. She has been a friend to local business 
and labor, assisted students and schools, and worked to ensure equal 
pay for women. In addition, she has been an active volunteer in her 
hometown community, serving as the Chair of the Nashua City Planning 
Board, a member of the Nashua City Selectboard, a board member of the 
New Hampshire Association for the Blind, and so much more.
  On behalf of my constituents across New Hampshire's Second 
Congressional District, I thank Senator Lasky for her many years of 
service and for being a part of what makes the Granite State so 
special. Her legacy will continue through the work she has been able to 
accomplish as a representative. I am honored to recognize and 
congratulate Senator Lasky on her retirement and I wish her the best of 
luck in the years ahead.

                          ____________________
