Hope Damon

Rep. Hope Damon is a dietician and former small business owner from Croydon running for reelection to the New Hampshire House this fall. As a state representative, Hope is a firm believer in talking through differences to achieve policies that uplift every resident. Hope believes all Granite Staters deserve strong public schools, affordable housing and health care, and a clean environment, and she’s used her time in the state House fighting to make each of those goals a reality. Now she’s ready to win her race this fall so she can keep pushing for progress on issues that most affect New Hampshire’s working families.

With every New Hampshire House seat on the ballot this year, re-electing Hope is critical to winning a Democratic majority in the chamber, and, with the DLCC’s support, she’s in an excellent position to bring home a victory in this battleground district.

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.
