Milford NH Democrats

Milford Democratic Candidates

Winning a majority in the NH legislature is critical to protecting the rights of all Granite Staters, and making government work for all of us. Milford and other Hillsborough County towns are key to making that happen. We have a great team running this year - help get the word out.

Shannon Chandley
State Senate District 11

It is essential that we elect leaders who listen to their constituents and represent their shared interests and values.  I promise to work with anyone interested in moving New Hampshire forward. I will champion efforts to achieve the best quality of life for New Hampshire families including creating a vibrant economy, protecting our public schools and maintaining public safety while ensuring that our hard earned tax dollars are spent wisely.

Peter Petrigno
House District Hillsborough-43 (Milford)

Having served as a high school teacher and department head for forty years in both private and public schools, it was an honor to receive the New Hampshire Council for the Social Studies Lifetime Achievement Award this past year.  I’ve received many recognitions over the years including New Hampshire Teacher of the Year and the Milford Community Athletics Association Distinguished Service Award. While accolades are rewarding, more so it’s about service and commitment to a job well done.  Throughout I have dedicated myself to my family, students, and community. Now as one of Milford’s representatives I have brought the same level of focus to my work at the State House. I hope to return with your vote. 

Paul Dargie
House District Hillsborough-43 (Milford)

In the State House, I will protect Democratic positions that are constantly under attack by the extreme right.  I will support reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights, public education, and a vibrant economy.  I will work to provide common-sense gun violence prevention laws and to provide property tax relief.

Scott Lawrence
House District Hillsborough-43 (Milford)

Democracy only works as well as citizens make it work. Making it work requires passion and commitment. I'd like to do my part by making our State government fairer, more practical, and better serve the people of Milford.

Our Priorities

Protect Reproductive Freedom

Make sure no one can interfere with private medical decisions between women and their doctors, or create legal hurdles for doctors to provide appropriate and necessary medical care.

Grow New Hampshire’s Economy

Address our housing and childcare crises, increase the minimum wage, and expand passenger rail service.

Maintain Healthy Communities

Increase access to affordable healthcare, fully expand Medicare, and increase access to mental health care.

Denounce Hate and Division

Everyone in our state should be able to live their lives regardless of their identities. We denounce hate and marginalization 

Provide Property Tax Relief

Drive initiatives to lower property taxes by increasing state support for towns and schools, and by ensuring that the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share.

Support Public Education

Insist on equitable funding of schools and taxpayer accountability. Uphold the rights of learners and educators. End the diversion of public school funding to vouchers that lack any accountability.

Protect Voting Rights

Ensure that New Hampshire is a leader in transparent, accessible, and secure elections.

Reduce Gun Violence

Enact the common-sense gun safety laws that the majority of NH citizens demand.
