Senator Whitley was born in the district and grew up watching her single mom make sacrifices for her and her sister. After attending law school, she started her career and her family right here in the district, where she has devoted herself to helping women, children, and working families as a disability rights lawyer, climate organizer and community activist, child health policy expert, and State Senator.

Senator Whitley was first elected to the New Hampshire State Senate in 2020. She’s a member of the bipartisan Housing Caucus and a founding member of the New Hampshire Moms Caucus. Among other legislation, Senator Whitley introduced and helped pass the Childcare for NH Working Families Act, which resulted in a historic investment in childcare in the state, and the NH MOMnibus, which expanded New Hampshire’s Medicaid program to improve maternal and infant health outcomes. She is also a stalwart champion for reproductive freedom in New Hampshire, sponsoring numerous bills to protect abortion, birth control, and access to IVF treatment.

Senator Whitley lives in Hopkinton with her husband, son, and dog.
