Carol Shea-Porter

As a Portsmouth Naval Shipyard family we are big supporters of Carol Shea-Porter. Her work on behalf of the SY has been commendable. She has visited with high ranking NAVY officials on many occasions to show the conditions at the SY and to highlight the work we do. About 2000 NH families depend on the SY for their livelihood and although we are very good at what we do, because we work primarily on Submarines, our value to the NAVY is sometimes undervalued. Carol makes sure that everyone in the NAVY understands our needs and also the strengths we bring to the NAVY.

Carol has three votes from this NH household.
