About Amanda

A handful of living people are named Amanda Bouldin—all making awesomeness of their lives—such as TikTok Amanda and Cosplay Amanda. Today, you’ve discovered New Hampshire Amanda.

As a Queen City-based political strategist, all-in-one campaign kit, and compulsive community organizer, this particular Amanda has spent nearly two decades proving that scrappy, people-first initiatives can move mountains.

Serving in the New Hampshire House of Representatives from 2015 to 2025, she built a reputation as a legislator who could turn a single Facebook post into a national news cycle. Just one pointed response to a discriminatory bill mysteriously went viral, landing coverage from CNN to The Guardian and demonstrating Amanda’s rare gift for making complex policy feel urgent and personal.

As a freshman rep, Amanda introduced harm reduction legislation that earned her bipartisan respect in one of the country's most notoriously independent state legislatures. During a biennium controlled by the opposition party, she passed two groundbreaking bills that have saved—and continue to save—countless lives.

Outside of politics—and knowing full well not to make politics her entire personality—Amanda exhibits a somewhat terrifying energy for myriad projects. In 2011, she founded Shire Sharing, an all-volunteer nonprofit, to carry on her late father's legacy of community giving.

What started as a Thanksgiving meal drive has grown into a full-scale 501(c)(3) community mobilization machine—exceeding fundraising goals, coordinating thousands of personalized home deliveries, and pivoting surplus resources on the fly with the kind of instinctive operational creativity that no MBA program can teach. Amanda is the person you call when you need a cause turned into a movement.

Leveraging her education (and family tradition) in business and marketing, Amanda looked to her candidacy as an opportunity to discover the secrets to successful campaigning. It soon became necessary to cultivate the broad skill set essential to this field—photography, graphic design, direct mail, social media management, web design, rapid-response communication, data management, legal compliance, and so much more.

Today, Amanda is a one-stop-shop for campaigns of any size. She’s handled everything from local school board races to statewide gubernatorial bids, rarely seeing a loss.

In her free time, she explores New Hampshire’s scenic history, contributing her photography skills to a volunteer cemetery archive. Whether for personal fulfillment or on assignment, Amanda occasionally contributes written work to local media outlets—a habit that originated in middle school when she dreamt of becoming a journalist.

She’s dabbled in standup comedy, jazzercise, and taking proper care of her curls—all with similar results—and loves shopping for tea and antique books. She will spend money she doesn’t have on concert tickets. Should the internet ever be shut down, Amanda strenuously maintains that We Rate Dogs is the only account worth saving.
