A New Hampshire native, Jenn Alford-Teaster (D-Bradford) was raised by her grandmother and mother in a small Seacoast apartment.

At 18, Jenn moved to North Carolina where she worked a minimum wage job and earned her Bachelor’s and Masters’ degrees before moving back to New Hampshire.

Jenn and her husband Jason now live in Sutton with their daughter, Birdie. Jenn is a Senior Research Scientist at the Geisel School of Medicine, focusing on healthcare access for rural communities and telemedicine expansion in the era of COVID-19. Jenn is running for State Senate in District 8 to fight for Granite State families and ensure that everyone has the opportunities they need to move from surviving to thriving.
