Will Darby has lived in Nashua since 2003, having originally moved to New Hampshire in 1994. After graduating from Clarkson University and receiving a Master’s from Villanova, he worked for Lockheed Sanders, Digital, MITRE and most recently Arista Networks as a software engineer and manager.

- Save New Hampshire's environment from the ravages of climate change, pollution and habitat loss
- Guarantee women's reproductive healthcare rights and promote gender equality
- Respect teachers and value public education, the cornerstone of an informed and productive society
I am most concerned about the health of the environment. The beauty of New Hampshire’s rivers, lakes, mountains, seacoast and wildlife are some of its greatest assets. Yet, climate change, pollution and habitat loss threaten these precious resources more than ever. Protecting the state's natural gifts from these threats will keep the economy vibrant, and ensure the outdoors our children and grandchildren grow up with offer the same opportunities we enjoy.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
