New Hampshire is located in the Midwest region of the USA with Concord as its capital.  Chris Sununu (R)  is Governor.

The New Hampshire General Court has 24 Senate members and 400 House members. This ratio of 1 Senate seat for every 16.67 House seats makes New Hampshire’s ratio of upper house to lower house seats the largest in the country.

Kelly Ann Ayotte (born June 27, 1968) is an American attorney and politician who is the governor-elect of New Hampshire. A member of the Republican Party, she served as a United States senator from New Hampshire from 2011 to 2017 and as New Hampshire Attorney General from 2004 to 2009.

Ayotte was elected governor of New Hampshire in 2024, defeating Democratic nominee Joyce Craig. She is the third woman to be elected the state’s governor and is expected to assume office on January 8, 2025.

The General Court of New Hampshire is the bicameral state legislature of the U.S. state of New Hampshire. The lower house is the New Hampshire House of Representatives with 400 members. The upper house is the New Hampshire Senate with 24 members. This ratio of 1 Senate seat for every 16.67 House seats makes New Hampshire’s ratio of upper house to lower house seats the largest in the country.

During the 2018-2020 session, the New Hampshire General Court was controlled by Democrats, with a 14-10 majority in the Senate and a 230-156-1 majority in the House, with 13 vacant seats at the end of the session. On November 3, 2020, Republicans won control of the New Hampshire General Court by winning a 14-10 majority in the Senate and a 213-187 majority in the House.

The General Court convenes in the New Hampshire State House in downtown Concord. The State House opened in 1819. The House of Representatives continues to meet in its original chambers, making Representatives Hall the oldest chamber in the United States still in continuous legislative use.[citation needed] When numbered seats were installed in Representatives Hall, the number thirteen was purposely omitted in deference to triskaidekaphobia.

The annual pay for legislators is set by law at $100.00.

The US onAir Network will be working with volunteers from New Hampshire universities, colleges, and nonprofit organizations to oversee the curation and moderation of posts, aircasts (online discussions), and in person events for the New Hampshire onAir Hub …  related to federal, state, and local elections and government.

Our first outreach will be to University of New Hampshire partly because of its proximity to the state capital. We have identified many of University of New Hampshire’s civic engagement, academic, internship and research programs related to making democracy and civic responsibility a focus of higher learning on their campus … for students, faculty, staff, and local community. This post, over time, will have similar information on other collaborating organizations in the state.
