Wow that’s a lot of seats in the NH House of Reps. - and for such a small state. Does every square mile in the state get a rep?

The New Hampshire House of Representatives is the lower house in the New Hampshire General Court. The House of Representatives consists of 400 members coming from 103 districts across the state, created from divisions of the state's counties. On average, each legislator represents about 3,300 residents. If the same level of representation were present in the U.S. Congress, that body would have approximately 99,000 members, according to current population estimates.
wow

Yeah he is well liked (a faux moderate). But neutered big time. The Exec Council which shares power with him is now all Republican too (5-0). They swept it all.
Even the House and Senate majorities are veto proof, so he has no power.

I am stunned by it, but also impressed. I would imagine that citizens have good access/response to/from these locals? In most states (like mine) - both houses of the state legislature are inhabited by a select few who act like mini-mes of the DC crowd.

John Sununu was say it was 20-4 in the senate. Either way, my senator Maggie Hasan is gone - with a long before it.

Happy that my first vote as a NH resident had something to do with it.

Actually, state reps are unpaid. It’s a part-time job for them.

What the heck? Does everyone in the state work for the government?
