Mike Moffett for State Representative
State Representative Mike Moffett (R-Loudon) represents Canterbury and Loudon (Merrimack County District 4) in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. First elected in 2016, he served several terms on the House Education Committee. During the most recent term he chaired the House Committee on State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs. During his tenure in office, he has successfully prime-sponsored numerous bills, many of them bipartisan, in a variety of areas. Education-related bills include a civics education measure, a gifted student measure, and a special needs measure. Among other veteran-related bills, he recently prime-sponsored HB1589, a "Veterans Court" measure designed to allow judges more discretion to avoid incarcerating military veterans for certain offenses.
"As a former history and government teacher, I really love being in the mix at the State House," said Moffett. "I've made some wonderful friends, and I feel my work has had very positive impacts. Constituents know they can count on me to be responsive and I'm proud of my 99+% attendance record for floor votes. Experience matters, in terms of knowing the necessary people and processes to get things done. I hope the good folks from Canterbury and Loudon will keep me on the job for them in Concord."
A Granite State native, Moffett graduated from Groveton High School before attending the University of New Hampshire and Plymouth State College, where he was an all-conference basketball player who still holds the Plymouth State single season rebound mark. He went on to teach in public, parochial, and military schools as well as on the community college and university levels.
A decorated Marine Corps infantry officer, Moffett served in both the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan areas of operation.
Moffett remains active with the VFW, American Legion, Loudon Lions, Knights of Columbus, and Plymouth State and Groveton High School Alumni Associations, as well as numerous boards and commissions.
