Representative Erica Layon has spent decades focused on studying risk both in school and in the real world. As a MIT Economist, she worked on Wall Street first as an options market maker who underwent 100 hours of intensive poker instruction to thrive in the trading floor pits, culminating her career as a Medical Device Analyst who worked with company executives and top doctors to bring new ideas to actual patient care.

As an economist, Erica understands how decisions to block energy suppliers leads to doubling electric bills and how smart fiscal policy drives New Hampshire's best-in-New-England unemployment rates. She will continue to reduce unnecessary red-tape that strangles economic growth and drives the inflation that is causing difficult kitchen table decisions across the Granite State.

As Vice Chairman of the Health Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee in 2022, Erica was a strong voice to the people of Derry. In final negotiations between the House and Senate she not only sat at the table, she chaired two committees that delivered strong policy around medical privacy and the right to use approved medicines for unapproved uses. Medicines are used off-label more than they are for the disease they are approved to treat, and now New Hampshire has clear guidelines on how and when informed consent is needed.

Committee assignments for the current term will be announced soon.
