This week on It Takes a Village Politics, we’re talking to someone who’s not just running for office—she’s running on radical empathy, lived experience, and the kind of grassroots fire that can’t be faked. Meet Paige Beauchemin, registered nurse, mother of three, and candidate for New Hampshire’s 2nd congressional district.Paige isn’t your typical politician—and thank God for that. She’s spent her career in maternal-child health, mental health, and health equity, working directly with the communities most often ignored by the political elite. Now she’s bringing that same care and clarity to the halls of power, with a campaign rooted in justice, dignity, and fierce protection of human rights.In this episode, we dive deep into:* Why Paige believes Congress needs more nurses and fewer career ladder climbers* How her experience in healthcare shaped her fight for paid leave, housing, and reproductive freedom* What it means to run as a working-class woman in a system built to shut people like her out* Her unapologetic stance on gun reform, climate action, and standing with GazaPaige Beauchemin is proof that politics doesn’t have to be cold, calculated, or disconnected.
