Video: Housing champions
Almost every single day since I launched this campaign, I've heard the same thing from families with young kids, college students, and older people: “We love this state, but we’re not sure we can afford to stay.” Even if this is not your story, the housing crisis hurts all of us. As someone hoping to be your next representative in Congress, I want you to know not only how we got to this point — but exactly what I’ll fight for in order to turn things around.
UNRIG Washington: Fight corruption
People are exhausted by bad policy and the feeling that our political system is rigged. That no matter who you vote for, the same donors win, the same insiders profit, and nothing really changes for families working to make ends meet. This is why I've joined the End Citizens United "Unrig Washington" pledge — a public commitment to do this differently.
Guest Post: Zoey Wilson - UNH and Durham turn out for Carleigh
We are so pleased to report that Coffee with Carleigh at the Freedom Café was a HUGE success! Both familiar faces and new friends from the Durham/UNH community joined us in our Café takeover in the early afternoon to talk politics and possibilities. What was so encouraging was that all of these people from all different backgrounds came together because they each possessed one common belief: more of the same won’t fix this.
Op-Ed: Why should NH be first? It works.
New Hampshire isn’t perfect, and our primary won’t fix what’s broken in American politics by itself. But the qualities this state demands of its candidates — patience, humility, the willingness to stand in a room full of people who disagree with you — aren’t quaint traditions. They’re exactly what’s missing from national politics right now, and why New Hampshire should retain its first-in-the-nation primary.
Video: Peace Makes Us Safe
There is a profound misconception amongst our elected leaders that military might makes the people in our country and around the world safe, but while a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget and a massive stockpile of nuclear weapons may make the United States strong, it does not make us safe.
That’s why I vow to always stand for peace by fighting to restore Donald Trump’s cuts of USAID, demanding we re-enter international treaties to reduce the global stockpile of nuclear weapons, and introducing legislation to strip Donald Trump (or any US President) from sole authority to launch a nuclear strike.
Through my Daughter’s Eyes
My seven-(and three quarters!)-year-old daughter, Siralina, joined me for a couple stops on the campaign trail yesterday, and having her by my side helped me see this campaign in a new light. Yes, we face daunting challenges and this is a dangerous moment for our country and the world, but there is also a joy in connecting with so many people and the opportunity to learn and grow each day is a true gift.
Interview: The New Hampshire Digital (UNH Campus Newspaper)
I sat down with Delaney Nickerson at The New Hampshire, the campus newspaper for the University of New Hampshire to talk about my campaign and our gathering at noon on April 12th at the Freedom Cafe in Durham.
Keep Smiling
I smile because amid the chaos, dysfunction, and very real suffering all around us, wonderful things are happening every day. People are coming together to fight for a better world. They are praying, singing, marching, and speaking out.
Interview: Beriont running for Congress touting local political experience
Carleigh sat down with Gabriel Perry of The Laconia Daily Sun to talk about her campaign for Congress. She was proud to announce the endorsement of Gilmanton State Rep. David Nagel, who said he’s endorsing her because “No. 1, she’s smart. No. 2, she’s energetic and No. 3., she’s very civic-minded. I’m very impressed with her.”
15 Conversations: No Kings and what I learned in Conway
This is how grassroots campaigns are won. One person and one conversation at a time. And while it’s definitely a lot harder than blowing two million bucks on paid posts on social media and television ads, it’s the only kind of campaign that can guarantee a voice for working people in Washington.
News Alert: Meta and YouTube lose social media addiction case
Many of us have watched incredulously as Congress turns a blind eye to the public health crisis unfolding across our country. How can it be possible that lawmakers can’t reach a consensus on something that is blatantly obvious to anyone who has spent more than five minutes with a child over the age of 10?
Well, here’s your answer: Meta alone spent over $25 million lobbying Congress in 2025. And to make matters worse, our politicians are as addicted to social media as the rest of us… maybe even more!
15 Conversations: What I Learned in Wolfeboro
I came up to Wolfeboro this weekend to meet with some of my volunteer leaders in Carroll and Belknap County. We gathered in Wolfeboro in tribute to the grassroots effort here that resulted in a 56% voter turnout and a huge flip for the District 7 State Rep seat. We met with some of the organizers for Bobbi Boudman’s huge win and discussed takeaways for our campaign and successful political organizing in general. One of the clear lessons that I learned was the importance of offering voters a wide variety of opportunities to engage, not just during election season, but year-round.
KEVINMD Blog: Violence against health care workers: the silence must end
We must find a way to replace silence and silencing with transparency, publishing assault statistics and protecting whistleblowers, as well as ensuring accountability at every level. It should be the responsibility of policymakers to ensure health care workers (nurses, EMTs, PAs, doctors) are not suffering in silence or told their experiences are simply part of the job.
After We Abolish ICE: A roadmap for just immigration reform
ICE is not a broken agency that needs fixing. It is an agency whose design produces the outcomes we are now witnessing. When an institution is built to enforce a broken system without due process protections, without meaningful accountability, and with a culture that has consistently shielded agents from consequences for misconduct and killing, reform is insufficient. The institution must be replaced.
Abolishing ICE means replacing a failed institution with one that is built from the ground up with civil rights protections, democratic accountability, and a mission that’s oriented toward a functional immigration system rather than fear and punishment.
16,000 Miles and chocolate chip cookies for dinner
On Thursday morning, I joined Jeff Chidester on WFEA Manchester to talk about Maple syrup season, why childcare costs way more than $3 a day and a pack of Oreos, our beloved tri-pawed, Rali, and the chocolate chip cookies I ate for dinner the last two nights.
15 Conversations: What I Learned in Seabrook
Seabrook has a reputation for being one of the most Trump-friendly towns in NH. I can speak from experience having canvassed for state and federal candidates in Seabrook that it’s reputation is certainly well-deserved. That said, the current enthusiasm for Trump in the town belies the rich history of direct action and community-centered organizing that has defined the town for generations.
Fifteen Conversations
Why else do I stay? Because after the speeches are over and the questions are answered, there is that rare opportunity to affirm a common purpose and the determination to finally see the changes we’ve been awaiting for so long. When I stay, we can celebrate what we have accomplished together, and discern what we need to do next. This process can’t just be about winning votes—it has to be about something bigger than that. It has to be about building communities strong enough for the hard work ahead.
Carleigh’s Interview with NextGen’s Executive Director Sumit Sharma
How often do you realize you can’t pay for parking, get into a movie, or do some basic task without your phone? We’ve gotten to the point where it feels like our lives are beholden and secondary to the priorities and profits of these corporations, and we never had a say in it. I want to see much stronger privacy protections for minors, including limits on data collection, and real investments in our schools and families so that they can thrive. Kids’ health should always be prioritized over profits. And I want to enforce anti-monopoly laws against these companies. They have amassed so much political and cultural power by virtue of their sheer size, which helps shield them from accountability for the harm their platforms cause.
Our Budget Failed - Here’s Why
Our budget failed. For the second time in four years, our neighbors came out and told us that their property taxes were already too high, and that they weren’t ready to invest a penny more to ensure the services our town provides continue and that we make necessary investments in our future. As I have said time and time again on the campaign trail, the problem is not with the people, it is with our leaders. Specifically, our leaders in Washington and Concord who do more to help themselves and protect their power than they do to help people in communities like mine.
It’s Town Meeting Day!
I am hoping that our town will come together today to affirm that our community does not want to collaborate with the Trump Administration in its unlawful and immoral immigration crackdown here in Hampton.
