Senator Peter Bragdon
Senate District 11
(Amherst, Greenville, Jaffrey, Milford, New Ipswich, Peterborough, Rindge, Sharon, Temple and Wilton)
He was elected to the New Hampshire Senate in 2004, having previously served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives from 2000 to 2002, and was chosen to serve as Republican Leader in 2008.
In addition to his responsibilities in the Senate, Bragdon is active in local government, serving as a member of the Milford School Board since 1997. He currently holds the position of school board chairman, a post to which his fellow board members have elected him 10 of his 12 years on the board. On the school board he is respected for his ability to bring members with diverse viewpoints together to solve major issues.
Bragdon is owner and publisher of The Milford Observer, a bi-weekly newspaper with a circulation of 7,200 (www.MilfordObserver.com), serving the Milford area. He was formerly the president of ACHIEVE! Technology, an Amherst software company helping companies comply with safety and environmental regulations from the EPA and OSHA, where he led the company to a position on the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing companies in America. Bragdon also taught high school math for a number of years.
Senator Bragdon was raised in Amherst, part of the fourth generation of his family to work the former Bragdon Farm on Route 101, land now preserved for conservation and recreation. He attended public schools in Amherst and Milford before entering the University of Massachusetts in Lowell, where he earned a BS degree in computer science, with a math minor.
