Michael DiTommaso[[link removed]] is running for election to the New Hampshire State House in Rockingham 3. He was unopposed in this three seat district in the September 8 primary. DiTommaso grew up in New Hampshire and has seen the decline in the state’s young population. He says that the state government must take action to make New Hampshire a desirable place to start businesses and raise families. He believes in a more economically progressive system, in which the wealthy pay their fair share and working people can lead financially secure, successful lives. In the legislature, DiTommaso will fight for affordable housing, higher wages, quality education, and increased infrastructure investment. He is nonreligious and a secular humanist.
 
Sherry Dutzy[[link removed]] is running for re-election to the New Hampshire State House in Hillsborough 30. She was unopposed in this three seat district in the September 8 primary. A firm believer that “democracy is not a spectator sport,” Dutzy works to increase civic engagement and build closer relationships between constituents and their representatives. In the legislature, she has supported increased funding for public education, increasing the minimum wage, reducing drug prices, and supporting reproductive rights. As a member of the Environment and Agriculture Committee, she works to protect New Hampshire farms and animals and increase programs, such as recycling, to protect the environment. In her next term, Dutzy will continue her advocacy for transparent and functional government that fully answers to its constituents. Dutzy identifies as a nonbeliever, atheist, and humanist.
 
Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban[[link removed]] is running for election to the New Hampshire State House in Grafton 9. In the September 8 primary for this two seat district, Fluehr-Lobban earned 32% of the vote finishing 2nd in a field of three candidates. An acclaimed anthropologist and specialist in human rights, ethics, and race issues, Fluehr-Lobban is intimately acquainted with many of the issues facing America and New Hampshire today. Fluehr-Lobban will use her training as an academic and scientist to find evidence-based, workable solutions to New Hampshire’s most pressing issues. Her work as a beekeeper has also taught her about the complexity and fragility of New Hampshire’s ecosystem and agriculture, and how partisan policies can damage the environment and economy beyond repair. Fluehr-Lobban will fight for environmental policies that improve the lifestyle of New Hampshirites while protecting the state’s most valuable industries. Fluehr-Lobban was raised Catholic, but now has no religious affiliation.
 
Brett Gagnon[[link removed]] is running for election to the New Hampshire State House in Hillsborough, District 37. He was unopposed in this eleven seat district in the September 8 primary. By day he manages electrical and medical device compliance for a 5.8 billion dollar organization while by night he enjoys walking conservation properties with his daughter and volunteering in his community. Brett is sincere and beholden only to logic, describing himself as a “fiscally conservative, environmentally minded, gun-owning, moderate Democrat”. Influenced by his mother to be charitable and his father to value the environment; he has volunteered both to support those in need and to protect land from over-development. Mr. Gagnon further recognizes the necessity to balance competing interests in the state, whether that’s growth of business with the protection of the environment or good educational services for children while meeting the needs of a growing senior population. In the legislature, Mr. Gagnon plans to champion new ideas for land conservation and family law reform all while continuing to incorporate the needs of his community. He believes passionately in the separation of church and state while also accepting the pressing issues of police brutality and racial justice, rising income inequality, and a natural environment under threat. Brett does not affiliate himself with any religious group.
