Early life and education
Bouldin moved to New Hampshire from Carrollton, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, in 2009.[2][6]
Career
Politics
Bouldin was briefly a member of a Tea Party group in Texas, but she abandoned that group when she realized they did not share her values. The pursuit of liberty led her to become a Free State Project participant and move to New Hampshire.[4] She later became a member of the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance.[3]
As a freshman representative, she introduced two bills addressing increasing heroin use in New Hampshire. HB 270 provided legal protection against arrest and prosecution for individuals calling for medical assistance for someone with an opiate-related medical problem.[7] HB 271 relaxed restrictions on prescribing naloxone, granting authorized health care professionals the power to write a prescription for anyone at risk of an opiate overdose or for a person who knows someone at risk of an opiate overdose.[8] The bills were passed by the legislature, signed by the governor, and became key planks of the state's response.[9]
In December 2015, a Facebook exchange between Bouldin and two Republican representatives, including Josh Moore, over a proposed expansion[10] of the existing "public indecency" law was covered by national and overseas media outlets.[11][12][13]
Nonpolitical
In November 2015, she reportedly had a job in sales.[14]
In 2011 Bouldin founded the private charity Shire Sharing to honor her late father who had organized and run a similar charity in Texas.[15] In 2015, Bouldin's Shire Sharing raised over $17,000 and brought Thanksgiving meals to over 600 families in New Hampshire, their best year ever.[16]
