2020 Special Elections

There is an upcoming special election for Merrimack County District No. 24 (Hooksett) to fill the vacancy left by representative Dick Marple who passed away on December 13th. His most recent service as a rep resumed in 2015 and he served in office numerous times over the past two decades. We’d like to thank Dick and his family for being a staunch supporter for the cause of liberty in each of his terms and throughout his life.
A primary for this seat is expected to be held on January 21, 2020 with the special election on March 10, 2020.

Republican

  • Elliot Axelman (Endorsed)
  • John A. Leavitt
  • David P. Ross

Democratic

  • Kathleen M. Martins

2019 Elections

These are the 2019 candidates endorsed by the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance. This list is updated with special elections for House and Senate as well as a limited number of candidates in local races. Additional announcements will be made as new data becomes available.

Endorsements for candidates with an existing legislative record are based on Liberty Ratings scores; endorsements for new candidates are based on our online candidate survey.

We feel that these candidates are the best choices for New Hampshire voters and worthy of NHLA members’ support. Campaign contributions from the NHLA’s PAC will be sent to these candidates.
