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.
