On your 2026 ballot

Running here in 2026

Everyone on the November 3 ballot for a State House or State Senate seat that covers Charlestown, after the September 8 primary. A sitting member is scored on how they voted; a challenger on what they said: their Citizens Count survey answers or, where they answered nothing, the platform on their own campaign website. The two are not the same kind of evidence and are never ranked against each other. A challenger with nothing to score is listed by name.

For the Senate

District: District 8

Already in office · scored on their votes

  • James Creighton is State Representative for Hillsborough County District 30 today, and has filed for State Senate District 8, which covers Charlestown. The score is their voting record.

Statewide, on the same ballot

Governor

Everyone in New Hampshire votes in this one. The sitting governor is scored on the bills she signed and vetoed, her challenger on the positions she has published. Neither answered the 2026 candidate survey.

Represents Charlestown today, not running here

This member holds a seat that covers Charlestown now and is not on its November ballot: no 2026 filing, lost the September 8 primary, or filed in a district that does not reach Charlestown. The record is what they did with the seat; the seat itself is above, with the people who want it.

Note on larger cities. Charlestown is split into 2 House districts by ward. This page lists everyone for the whole city (the district is printed under each chamber), not only the ones for your ward. Check your ward on your voter registration to identify your own.
