Maureen Barrows -- District II

Over the years, I have served the community in many capacities; as volunteer board member and fund raiser for many non-profit groups; as a town and county official, and five terms as Rockingham County Commissioner.  I am currently Chair of the Meals on Wheels Program and active with City Year New Hampshire.  I have lived in Exeter with my husband Cal for thirty one years.  I oversee the David Barrows Adventure Fund and am a mountain bike race director responsible for organizing the "Mud In Your Eye -500", an annual event which to date has raised approximately $150,000 to support 'outward bound' type activities for area young people. 
 

Katharin K. Pratt -- District I

Hampton is my home where my political career began as a member of the Hampton Budget Committee in 1991. Then, from 1992 to 1996, I was a member of the State Legislature before being elected a County Commissioner in 1997.  My goal is to maintain Rockingham's quality services and traditionally low county taxes in an environment of diminishing federal and state Medicaid funding and to fight further cost shifting by the state of New Hampshire to local property taxes. 

 

C. Donald Stritch - District III

For the last fifty years my home has been in Auburn, NH and during that time I married, have three children, and 2 grandchildren.  I served as Town and School District Moderator for over 25+ years, was a State Representative for 11 years, a member of the School Board for 6 years, and all that while being a school principal for thirty-eight years. 

Now, another great honor is bestowed upon me... being your County Commissioner.  My goal is to give the people of Rockingham County the very best possible and to that end I cherish this honor.
