Ayotte Kelly

Kelly Ayotte hails from Nashua, New-Hampshire and is a member of the US Senate. She was born on the 27^th of July, 1968 and is the first female Attorney General of New Hampshire. She was appointed to this position for the first time in the year 2004 and then reappointed twice thereafter. Her election to the Senate was in 2010 after winning 60% of the votes cast. In the House, Senator Kelly serves in various committees – Small Businesses, Armed Services, Budget, and Commerce.

When she was Attorney General, the Senator worked together with the law enforcement statewide to ensure the protection of New-Hampshire citizens. In this way, she helped in distinguishing this State not just as one of the safest in the country, but in fact as the safest. She worked tirelessly in her effort to make sure that stiff new laws that crackdown on internet and sexual predators were passed, especially against those targeting children. Also, due to her strong commitment to honesty, while in government, this former Attorney General held public office members accountable – irrespective of their political affiliation or position.

In 2008 for successfully spearheading efforts to ensure the very 1^st capital murder sentences in more than 60 years in the State of New-Hampshire, she was named “Citizen of the Year.” Prior to becoming Attorney General, Senator Kelly had been an Assistant Attorney General as well as the Homicide Unit’s Chief. One of the things she achieved while being New-Hampshire’s senior murder prosecutor was in securing convictions for 2 defendants that were charged with callously killing 2 college professors (the Dartmouth Murders).

Senator Kelly was educated in public schools in Nashua and is a Pennsylvania State University graduate completing her studies in the year 1990 with honors. Subsequently, in the year 1993 she obtained her Juris Doctor degree from the School of Law Villanova University. After her education, the Senator got back to New-Hampshire and then served there as a legal clerk to Justice Sherman Horton. She is married to a native of Nashua and has two children for him. Her husband is Joe Daley who during the war in Iraq flew planes in combat missions. Presently, he is a Lieutenant Colonel and she has assisted him in launching a landscaping-and-snow-removal firm. This business venture provides her with the much needed firsthand information of how the decisions that are made in the political capital Washington impact on small businesses.
