Bailey Gates

Samantha lives in Raymond, New Hampshire with family. She has lived in Rockingham County her entire life. Her and her husband are high school sweethearts and have been together for almost 25 years, married for 16 of them. We have two extraordinary children. Her son, Anthony, recently turned 19, and her daughter, Kimberly, will be turning 15 in just a few short weeks.

Professionally, her background is in accounting and management. Samantha earned a dual master’s degree in accounting and finance from Southern New Hampshire University and has developed experience through leadership, operations, and financial management roles. She also brings a unique perspective and understanding of long-term care, as she has a loved one residing in a long-term care community and serves as their co-guardian. This experience has strengthened her advocacy skills and deepened her commitment to understanding and supporting the individual needs of others.

Outside of work, Samantha enjoys spending time with my family. Her daughter keeps them both very busy through her involvement in school and local community, and her son recently joined a semi-professional football team, which means she will be traveling throughout New England to support him at games. Her and her husband also enjoy taking spontaneous Saturday Road trips throughout New England - whether that’s Acadia National Park, Boston, Vermont, Pittsburg, or somewhere completely new. She's also an avid reader and enjoys sitting on the front porch with a good book.
