Judi Lanza

Judi Lanza is a registered nurse and former New Hampshire state representative from Goffstown running to flip a seat in the New Hampshire House this fall. Judi has worked as a dedicated labor and delivery registered nurse for more than 35 years and, while earning her credentials, received the Catholic Medical Center School of Nursing’s Medical Staff Award for Excellence in Nursing for the exemplary compassion and care she showed her patients. Today, many of the babies she helped deliver are grown and raising families of their own in Judi’s community. Judi is running to return to the state House to help ensure that future generations of New Hampshirites have the resources they need to succeed and thrive in the state for years to come.

In 2024, Judi ran as a DLCC Target Race candidate and came just 181 votes short of victory. This year, Judi is in a better position than ever to regain a seat in the New Hampshire House and help Democrats break the GOP majority in the chamber.

2026 is a historic opportunity to flip both chambers of the New Hampshire legislature.

Current GOP House and Senate majorities in New Hampshire have used their power to green-light Trump’s disastrous agenda at the state level, pushing attacks on civil liberties and voting rights, gutting public school funding, and turning a blind eye to the affordability crisis squeezing working families from all sides.

Over the last several cycles, the DLCC has helped New Hampshire Democrats win key races and keep majorities within striking distance in 2026. As we approach Election Day, Democrats need a 5-seat gain to win the majority in the state Senate, and a roughly 23-seat gain to win a majority in the 400-seat state House. 

Flipping both chambers would create a powerful firewall protecting Granite Staters from the most harmful aspects of MAGA extremism. With every seat in both legislative chambers on the ballot this year, now is the time to rally behind the most competitive Democratic candidates and send a blue wave across New Hampshire.
