A Real Voice for Working People

I've Lived It

There is something I want to tell you that most candidates would never say out loud.

My family and I were homeless for nine months.

Not in the abstract. Not as a statistic. We lived it, the uncertainty, the instability, the feeling that the ground was never quite solid underneath us. We navigated a system that was confusing, overwhelming, and at times felt designed to work against the very people it was supposed to help.

We fought. We advocated for ourselves. We pushed through the paperwork, the waiting lists, the bureaucracy, and the moments where it felt like nobody actually understood what we were going through.

And eventually, we made it. We got into stable housing. We built something solid. We found our footing. That experience changed everything about how I see the world and how I see my responsibility to this community.

When a family in Ward 9 tells me they're on a waiting list for affordable housing I don't just sympathize, I know exactly what that waiting feels like. When someone tells me the system is confusing and hard to navigate I don't just acknowledge it. I've been lost in that same system. When a working family says they're doing everything right and still can't get ahead I don't just believe them, I've been that family. That is why I am running.

Not because I read about the affordability crisis in a report. Not because a consultant told me it was a winning issue. Because my family and I lived it, every single day of those nine months, and came out the other side with a perspective that no amount of political experience can replicate.

Ward 9 doesn't need another politician who understands these issues from a distance. Ward 9 needs someone who has actually been there. Who has sat where you're sitting. Who has felt what you're feeling.

That's me. And that lived experience is exactly what I'm bringing to the State House.

I'm Kris Levesque. I've lived in Concord most of my life, with deep family roots right here in Ward 9. My small business was founded and operates right here in Concord. I've lived in public housing. I've worked through hardship. I know what it's like to stretch every dollar, worry about rent, and make impossible choices at the kitchen table. I'm not running because I studied these issues. I'm running because I've lived them. That's what I'm bringing to the State House. Not a politician's resume. A neighbor's experience. A real voice for the working families, renters, home owners, seniors, and small business owners of Ward 9 who deserve someone in Concord fighting for them every single day. Ward 9 is worth fighting for. And so are you!
