State Representatives
|
The Town of Strafford votes for four State Representatives:
Currently, two of our State Reps are Democrats: Heath Howard and Cassandra Levesque. Their voting records show strong support for Democratic values. The same cannot be said for the two Republican representatives from our district. Let's send all four of these well-qualified Democrats to the NH House this fall! See for yourself: Voting records published by Open Democracy show that Democrats Heath Howard and Cassie Levesque consistently support voting rights, and Republicans Len Turcotte and Michael Harrington got failing grades across the board in the 2023-2024 Legislative session. |

State Rep Heath Howard
A lifelong resident of Strafford, State Representative Heath Howard is running for re-election in Strafford District 4. He was first elected to the NH House in 2022. Heath's earlier political experience included work with Maura Sullivan’s Congressional campaign. He also served as an intern in former Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter’s District Office, where he specialized in constituent services and legislative research. Heath is an upperclassman at the University of New Hampshire majoring in History.
Heath's legislative priorities include:
"I've gotten a lot of support on my mission for change," Heath says, "and I intend to remain active in the New Hampshire community to make it an even better place to live!" |
State Rep Cassandra Levesque
State Representative Cassandra Levesque of Barrington is currently serving her third term in the NH House representing Strafford District 4. She is an artist and photographer. When Cassie was first elected to the NH House in 2018, she was the third youngest female to be elected in New Hampshire's history.
A lifelong resident of Barrington and the daughter of a US Air Force veteran, Cassie has been a driving force for making New Hampshire a better place for families. She is a strong advocate for women's and children's rights, as well as support for public schools. Her efforts to champion a ban child marriage in NH have earned her national recognition. See "Ban on child marriage in New Hampshire moves to next stop, representing years-long battle" - USA Today, May 6, 2024. Environmental protection is another important focus for Cassie. As stewards of our New Hampshire environment, she believes it is our solemn duty to do all we can to protect it for future generations. "It has been my honor to serve the people of my community and of New Hampshire," says Cassie. "I strongly feel the only way ahead is if we all stand together, vote, and make our communities safe and inclusive for all of their residents."

Adam Mulholland
Adam Mulholland, a Democrat from Barrington, ran for State Representative in 2024. We expect to see more of Adam, who retired from the U.S. Air Force in 2017 and relocated to Barrington from South Korea with his wife, Rose, and their four children.
Adam believes in progressive policies such as strong public schools, affordable housing, healthcare for all, living wages, full cannabis legalization, fair taxes, and gun safety. These are priorities that will improve the lives of NH residents and make it a great place to raise a family, build a career, or retire. "One of the most important things in politics is showing up," says Adam. "As a State Rep, that means being at every vote, being present on the issues, and standing up for our values. I will do just that if elected to go to Concord." |
Get Motivated!
The special-interest politics of the two Republicans currently representing us in the State House is unacceptable. Their voting records speak for themselves. We need to work hard to replace them!
Republican Rep. Michael Harrington of Strafford has primarily sponsored anti-income tax and energy-related legislation. He has been endorsed by Americans for Prosperity, a libertarian-conservative political advocacy group funded by the Koch brothers.
Republican Rep. Len Turcotte of Barrington has a history of voting to support statewide abortion restrictions and block key initiatives at the county level, such as a much-needed new nursing home. He has voted to keep all laws that allow children to marry. He even wanted to keep the marriage age at 13 for girls/14 for boys. He has also voted for using conversion therapy on minors. Turcotte advocates for right-to-work legislation and was influential on the redistricting committee that saddled NH with gerrymandered maps that favor Republicans. He has got to go!
