About Daryl
Growing up in Salem, I have had the privilege of watching Southern New Hampshire become the outstanding community it is today. I graduated from Salem High School as part of the Class of 2002, where I lettered in football and wrestling. I went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from Suffolk University in 2006 and a J.D., cum laude, from Suffolk University Law School in 2009. Since then, I have practiced law in the private sector while serving the people of New Hampshire.
Salem has always been home. My wife, Jessica, and I chose to build our life together on Canobie Lake, where we are raising our two young children. Like so many families in our district, we want to ensure our children have the same opportunities and quality of life that made Southern New Hampshire such a wonderful place to grow up.
My family's roots in this community run deep. From our family's local business, Funhouse Pizza, to the education I received in Salem Public Schools and the support we have received from neighbors throughout the years, I have experienced firsthand what makes this community special. That experience shaped my commitment to public service and inspired me to give back by serving our community in the New Hampshire Legislature.
I first served as a State Representative, where I worked to secure additional funding for law enforcement to combat cyber crimes against children, opposed an income tax and other broad-based tax increases, and consistently defended our constitutional rights. During my second term, I had the honor of serving as Chairman of the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, where I worked closely with law enforcement, prosecutors, victims' advocates, and first responders to improve public safety across New Hampshire.
Today, I am honored to serve as your State Senator and as Senate President Pro Tempore. I represent the communities of Atkinson, Pelham, Plaistow, and Salem, and currently serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Education Committee.
In the Senate, I have remained focused on the issues that matter most to our communities: supporting law enforcement, protecting victims of crime, strengthening New Hampshire's bail laws, defending our constitutional freedoms, expanding educational opportunities for families, keeping taxes low, promoting economic growth, and preserving the New Hampshire Advantage. I have also worked to pass balanced state budgets that invest responsibly in our priorities while protecting taxpayers.
Above all, I believe public service is about being accessible and responsive. Whether you need assistance working with a state agency, have concerns about proposed legislation, or simply want your voice heard, my office is always ready to help. It is a privilege to serve our district, and I remain committed to putting our communities first every day.
