New Hampshire House of Representatives - Members, 2012-2014

Members, 2012-2014

In New Hampshire, a member of the state legislature can be designated as being a member of more than one party. If a candidate runs on one ticket and the opposing party fields no candidate, and if the candidate gets a certain number of write-in votes on the opposing party ticket, then as an elected official, that politician is defined as belonging to both parties, with the party under which s/he officially ran listed first.

One current member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives has this distinction: Janet Wall (Strafford 6). Since the candidate officially ran on the Democratic Party ticket, she is listed as a Democrat first.
