She has held positions in hospital marketing and public relations and was formerly a vice president at Ted Bates Advertising, where she continued to work with healthcare and packaged food clients. Before entering the political arena, Cindy also worked in education, holding positions at multiple local universities.

As one of the legislature's most tireless advocates for mental health care, she was the prime sponsor of legislation to raise reimbursement rates for Medicaid providers for mental health and substance use disorder treatment. With a keen focus on the future, Cindy also turned her attention to growing New Hampshire's economy, leading the successful effort to bring municipal cash reserve investments back to the State. She truly embodies what it means to be a public servant, and her advocacy for the well-being of Granite Staters is both unwavering and unmatched.

She will soon conclude her fourth term in the New Hampshire Senate, but her persistent advocacy will leave an unforgettable mark on us all. Many of Cindy's colleagues, past and present, regard her as a visionary leader who fought long and hard to make New Hampshire a healthier and more compassionate State. She sought meaningful change through legislation, and she strove to ensure that no Granite Staters fell through the cracks. Cindy's enduring commitment to public service is an inspiration to us all. On behalf of the people of New Hampshire, I ask my colleagues and all Americans to join me in thanking Cindy Rosenwald for her many years of service to New Hampshire and her fellow Granite Staters. We wish her all the best in the next chapter of her life.
