Favorite NH Activity: Senator Ricciardi enjoys exploring the 13 towns in her District, especially through New Hampshire’s distinctive seasons. When she’s not volunteering in the Senate, she is volunteering through multiple outside organizations including Bedford Cares, for which she was awarded volunteer of the year by the Spirit of New Hampshire. During the spare moments she finds for herself, you can find her whipping up a Mediterranean Specialty in the kitchen, or enjoying an energizing fitness class.
