Joshua Lambert is a 2014 and 2020 graduate of Southern New Hampshire University. In 2014, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication (on-campus), and in 2020, he earned a second Bachelor of Arts degree (online) majoring in History - with an American History concentration - and minoring in Political Science. He earned the Latin honors of Cum Laude with both degrees.For the past seven years, Joshua has worked in the field of education. He started out as a substitute teacher and middle school baseball coach within the Fall Mountain Regional School District and within a year, he shifted to a more permanent position in the district as a paraeducator at North Charlestown Community School. In 2022, Joshua entered a new chapter in his education career by becoming a 5th grade ELA and Social Studies teacher at Windsor School in Windsor, VT. He spent two years in this position, working under a provisional teaching license.Prior to working in education, Joshua worked and volunteered with different political organizations. During his first four years at SNHU, his life as a political advocate truly emerged, especially after joining the SNHU Political Activists Corps. A year and a half after graduation, Joshua walked into the local campaign office for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, and his life hasn’t been the same since. While initially a regular volunteer, he was quickly hired as a full-time, paid intern working straight through the 2016 NH primary. Through the outreach of the entire Claremont office and volunteers, Sanders went on to secure 80% of the democratic vote in Sullivan County (NH). Later on that year, Joshua was hired by Rights and Democracy as a field canvasser focused on the United States senate election between Maggie Hassan (D) and incumbent Kelly Ayotte (R). Hassan went on to win her election.Joshua entered the world of education shortly after the 2016 election cycle, but his political advocacy only grew stronger. Joshua has held many political volunteer positions. In March of 2021, he was elected to a three-year seat on the Claremont School Board (2021-2024). As his life circumstances changed, he resigned the position a year early. Around the same time, he was elected (by local Democrats) to be an at-large delegate representing Claremont at New Hampshire Democratic Party state conventions. He was also a member of the Rights and Democracy Leadership Committee, and despite regular conflicts with school board meetings, he was also on the Rights and Democracy HEAL Together Organizing Committee.
