New Hampshire's 24 state Senate districts have changed considerably over the years. One thing, however, has remained constant: the maps have tended to give Republicans an advantage.

Redistricting happens every 10 years, when politicians redraw voting districts to reflect population change. 2022 was a redistricting year, and since Republicans hold the majority in both the House and Senate in New Hampshire, it meant Republicans decided where to draw the legislative district lines. NHPR took a look at voting data to explore the effects of redistricting in the New Hampshire Senate.

NHPR in collaboration with the New Hampshire Bulletin and New Hampshire PBS hosted debates with candidates this week. We heard from them on the economy, abortion, climate and more.

You can find the full debates and the rest of NHPR’s election coverage here.

I oversee NHPR’s news magazines, Morning Edition and All Things Considered. I support our show producers and hosts in bringing listeners in depth conversations and stories on the latest news and culture in New Hampshire. I believe in community driven storytelling and connecting with Granite Staters to learn more about what it's like for them living in New Hampshire. I’m interested in conversations and stories that show the impact of policy decisions and hold those in power to account.
As the host of Morning Edition, my aim is to present news and stories to New Hampshire listeners daily that inform and entertain with credibility, humility and humor.
