I'm Billie Butler, a performing artist and gig worker who grew up in NH, mostly between Milton and Portsmouth. I have been a resident and home owner in Somersworth for 5 years and in that time I have been a poll worker for three elections, most recently being appointed by the city council as a selectman. I am running for state representative in district 12 because small independent businesses, such as working class (1099) artists like myself are wholly underrepresented. I have a deep connection to New Hampshire and decades of experience in collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving. I'm ready to fight for affordable housing, livable wages, quality education for all, gig workers, LGBTQ rights, protecting our environment, and will ensure our government is transparent and accountable. I’ll also be the biggest champion for the arts unlike anyone our great state has ever known. I love New Hampshire, and together, we will continue to make our state strong, inclusive, and equitable for all Granite Staters.
