New Hampshire
New Hampshire’s Legislature controls the redistricting process subject to a gubernatorial veto. Democrats took back control of the Legislature in 2018, but Republican Governor Chris Sununu vetoed bipartisan reform legislation that would have established an independent redistricting commission. Following this cowardice by the governor, the Republican-controlled Legislature in 2022 passed gerrymandered state Senate and Executive Council maps. However, despite having unified Republican control, the Legislature and governor failed to agree on a new congressional map, amid sustained public pressure against Governor Sununu. Ultimately, the New Hampshire Supreme Court stepped in and adopted a fair congressional map for the state. In 2022, the NDRC is supporting fair maps champions in both chambers of the state legislature.

How Our Fight Continues
Thanks to the grassroots movement for fair maps, we have maps in place that are far more fair than they would have been if Republicans had been allowed to gerrymander unchecked this past redistricting cycle. But if the last few years have shown us anything, it’s that our fight to protect free and fair elections is far from over. Redistricting has always been part of the larger fight to protect our democracy. The stakes are far too high to stand by the sidelines.
