Carrie Gendreau
Carrie L. Gendreau is an American politician from Littleton, New Hampshire.[2] She serves as a Republican member for the 1st district of the New Hampshire Senate, and previously was a member of the Littleton Board of Selectmen. Gendreau graduated from Bob Jones University, and was a sorority chaplain during her time there.[1] Gendreau is a self-identified evangelical Christian. During her time on the Littleton Board of Selectmen, Gendreau would occasionally open meetings with a prayer, and she carried a Bible with her to debates in the New Hampshire Senate. She told the New York Times, "I will listen to my constituents, but if the Lord trumps the majority, I will go with that." After community protests, she did not seek reelection and was succeeded by Kerri Harrington.[1] She attracted international attention after protesting a mural of a "white iris in front of a rainbow color wheel ...two birch trees in front of blue mountains and a white crescent moon ... [and] dandelions growing from the pages of a book". Gendreau believed "the iris was a dangerous symbol because Iris was the Greek goddess of the rainbow".[3] Gendreau's father was Littleton moderator Gerald Winn.[1] References
