Kelly Ayotte won. So did NH Democrats. Now comes the hard part

NH House Clerk Paul Smith announced Nov. 4 that Democrats may hold a 292-107 advantage over Republicans in the House, a supermajority, while the Associated Press is forecasting a 15-9 lead for Democrats in the state Senate, which would be one seat away from a supermajority. Democrats are also projected to win all five seats on the Executive Council, a dramatic flip from the previous 4-1 Republican majority.

Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte’s agenda for the next two years is taking a back seat to Democrats, who now have veto-proof control in the House and Senate. “Property taxes have skyrocketed, healthcare and prescription drugs are more expensive than ever, and public schools are struggling under decreased state funding for our communities,” said Rep. Alexis Simpson (D-Exeter) in a press release. “House Democrats are already rolling up our sleeves to bring costs down and deliver concrete results for Granite Staters. We look forward to doing so in 2027 and beyond.”
