Carrie L. Gendreau is an American politician from Littleton,New Hampshire. [2] She served as a Republican Senator 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]
