Alton, New Hampshire (CNN) Carly Fiorina previewed how she'll set herself apart at CNN's upcoming GOP debate while in New Hampshire Sunday by reflecting on her time as CEO of Hewlett Packard.

Although Fiorina's stewardship of the company has faced criticism, she is unequivocal in saying her accountability to shareholders as an executive made her uniquely qualified for the presidency.

"I will challenge Mrs. Clinton, any other politician, and the entertainer who's running for office, to hold themselves to that same level of account because none of them are going to be able to stand up to that level of scrutiny," Fiorina said to cheers from the 150 voters gathered in Alton, New Hampshire.

One voter at the event asked Fiorina how she would work with Congress, when she has no prior experience working with legislative bodies.

"I don't have that on my resume," Fiorina admitted. "It's interesting how many politicians go to Washington promising change. Governors have done it, senators have done it. Not a one of them has actually changed a thing. I will respectfully say that being a politician doesn't seem to work very well either with the legislature."
