Cody York

Cody York is a former Democratic campaign manager, graduate student, and “dirt road Granite Stater” running to flip a seat in the New Hampshire House this fall. Cody grew up watching his parents work long hours to build a comfortable life for his family. This instilled in him key New Hampshire values like hard work and standing up for your neighbors. Today, Cody still lives by those values, and his campaign is rooted in a commitment to preserving the New Hampshire way of life as working families struggle to make ends meet. If elected, Cody will champion a lower cost of living, support for senior citizens, access to affordable housing, and strong public schools.

In 2024, Republicans narrowly secured both seats in this district. This year, with the DLCC’s support, Cody is stepping up to challenge the status quo and help Democrats win a majority in the New Hampshire House.

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.
