State Representative

Christine Pierce

Hello. my name is Christine Pierce. I am a mom. nana and a wife and I have lived in Raymond for 13 years.

I am not a politician, I am a resident who is tired of the rich getting richer while the rest of us suffer, adjust our bugets and try to make due with less than we deserve and have earned.

I will focus on community, common sense and the change we have all been waiting for and have failed to see so far.

I will represent the whole town of Raymond and not just those who agree with my policies or politics.

I love Raymond and I am running to help make Raymond a great place to live and raise our families.
