Nick Paul

Nick Paul is a policy advocate and father of three from Rochester running this November to flip a seat in the New Hampshire House. Nick was raised by a truck driver and a teacher’s aide, and he understands what it means to live paycheck to paycheck. He has over a decade of policy experience and worked to defeat the Northern Pass Project, advocated for anti-poverty measures at the national level, and fought for common-sense energy solutions in his home state. If elected, Nick is committed to fighting to lower exorbitant property taxes, increase access to affordable housing and health care, and ensure childcare is within reach for working families.

With the DLCC’s support, Nick is mounting a strong campaign to flip one of the district’s two GOP-held seats and build Democratic power 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.
