Every two years, New Hampshire votes for our state Representatives, Senators, and Governor. We send our elected officials to Concord and trust that they’ll represent our interests, but are they? The 2025 legislative session made it clear: our elected officials are not listening to us. This report pulls out key votes that demonstrate how our legislators voted this session when it came to Our Wallets, Our Rights, and Our Planet.
Though large numbers of Granite Staters signed in to support or oppose bills, the committees largely ignored our desires. This legislative session was catastrophic in our fight for climate justice. The state budget signed this session was the paramount example of the state sacrificing our most vulnerable populations in order to give tax breaks to the wealthy.
We compiled a list of some of the most important bills impacting our planet, our rights, and our wallets; through assessing how our legislators voted, we were able to grade them on their actions. We need to make sure our neighbors know how our legislators are voting, so we can hold them accountable to the needs of all Granite Staters.
Here are the NH bills we looked at to score our elected officials:
Adopt floor amendment = to vote yes on the edit to the bill
ITL = inexpedient to legislate (the committee recommends we do not pass this)
OTP = ought to pass (the committee recommends we pass this)
OTPA = ought to pass with amendment (the committee recommends we pass this with the edits someone introduced)
Table = don’t vote on it for now, table for further discussion
Indefinitely postpone = prevent a vote from happening right now, put it off until a later date

Round One: Climate Deniers In Review
This first round of legislators includes members of the Science, Technology, and Energy Committee and a few legislators who have introduced bills that come straight out of the climate denial handbook. They pretend that the climate crisis isn’t happening because they’d rather see billionaire fossil fuel companies raise our electricity prices than acknowledge that our government needs to do something to address pollution and affordability. These legislators also voted against workers rights, public education, healthcare funding, immigrants rights, and housing affordability. Click on their photo to see their full report card.
