Political activity.
Although a member of the Democratic Party, Edwards was initially endorsed by the libertarian New Hampshire Liberty Alliance, and was "closely associated" with the Free State Project (FSP). She has since distanced herself from the FSP, and was not endorsed by the NHLA when she ran for re-election in 2016.
In January 2016, Edwards introduced a bill to legalize prostitution in New Hampshire between consenting adults. The bill was opposed by Republican house majority leader Richard Hinch, who commented that "society is just not ready for that". Edwards is also an advocate of drug policy reform. With assistance from other FSP members, Edwards helped pass a bill to give drug users immunity from prosecution when they report a drug-related medical emergency.
