Peggy Balboni has proudly represented Rockingham District 38—Greenland, North Hampton, and Rye—in the New Hampshire House of Representatives since 2022. She serves on the House Education Policy and Administration Committee, where she works on legislation that shapes the governance, organization, and operation of New Hampshire’s public schools and local school districts. She also serves on two statutory committees: the Legislative Oversight Committee for the Education Improvement and Assessment Program and the Education Freedom Savings Account Oversight Committee.

A lifelong advocate for education and public service, Peggy grew up in Vermont, where both of her parents were public school teachers. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Georgetown University and a Master of Arts in Special Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. Peggy and her husband, Jeff, have called Rye home since 1994. Together they raised four children, all of whom attended Rye’s public schools. Before being elected to the State House, Peggy dedicated decades to serving her community. She served nine years on the Rye School Board and twelve years on the Rye Budget Committee, while also volunteering with numerous municipal, educational, and community organizations.
