A couple of less controversial results of the ten-year redistricting are:
Rockingham County now has 91 seats (up from 90) in the NH House of Representatives. The districts have been renumbered with Newfields and Newmarket changed from Rockingham 17 to Rockingham 10 and our floterial district (Newfields, Newmarket, Exeter and Stratham) changed from Rockingham 36 to Rockingham 33. There are 3 NH House seats in Rockingham 10 Newfields, Newmarket and 5 Democrats have filed to run for State Representative: Michael Cahill Charlotte DiLorenzo Ellen Read Scott Blackstone Jesus R.

House & Senate calendars: Senate Calendar House Calendar House Remote Testimony Sign In page Indicate you oppose/support a bill. There's an option to submit a letter to the committee. Watch committee hearings: New Hampshire Senate Livestream NH House of Representatives Committee Streaming Register Your Position Remotely or Send a Letter Currently, both the House and the Senate are planning to conduct all committee hearings in person, without the option to testify remotely that was available last year, and this seems unlikely to change. Thus, if you want to testify on a bill, you will need to come to Concord and attend the hearing in person. (You can watch the hearings on YouTube. See page 2 of the current House Calendar and page 1 of the current Senate Calendar for the links.) However, you still can register your position on a bill remotely. To do so, go to the General Court home page, and under “Links to Meeting Schedules,” click on either “House Remote Sign In” or “Senate Remote Sign In,” as appropriate, then follow the steps indicated, which are self-explanatory. If you have any questions, see the “Remote Sign In Directions” on the same page, and if you still have questions, call NHMA’s government affairs staff. Of course, registering as “support” or “oppose” merely makes you part of a number. While that helps a little, it is far better to send a letter or email to the committee that is hearing the bill and explain why the bill is good or bad. You can do this by finding the appropriate House or Senate committee (from the home page, go to “House” or “Senate,” then “Standing Committees”) and use the option to email all committee members. Again, contact us if you have questions. EDUCATION

It's not unusual to meet NH residents who were born elsewhere. They relocated for employment, due to marriage, some were stationed at the former Pease Air Force Base and decided to stay. For others it's the outdoor recreation and scenery, proximity to Boston or the perennial favorite, no sales or income tax.
Well, here's one you may not have heard. How about moving to a state to take part in a plan to take over local and state government to create a Libertarian Utopia and secede from the United States? Crazy? You bet but, it's true and we have several of them in leadership positions in the state legislature. You can learn more about the Free State Project in the links below.
