Get Motivated!
We know a lot about the special-interest politics of the two Republicans representing our districts in the State House. Their voting records speak for themselves. We need to work hard to replace them with Democrats in 2024!
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 abortion restrictions. 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.
