Doing the Work
Showing up — in Concord, in Newbury and New London, and on the issues that matter to this district.
New Hampshire works when its communities are strong — when children have good schools, families can afford homes, workers are treated with dignity, and the environment is protected for the next generation.
I ran in 2024 because Newbury and New London deserved a representative who would show up, vote his conscience, and answer to the people of this district. I am running again because that work continues.
I am a Democrat, but more than anything I am your neighbor. I was born and raised in New Hampshire, attended its public schools, and have worked and lived in this state most of my life.
When I asked for your vote, I promised to show up and to be answerable. Here is what that work has looked like in the New Hampshire General Court — including the committee assignment that puts the issues most important to this district directly in front of me.
Showing up — in Concord, in Newbury and New London, and on the issues that matter to this district.
The work of a State Representative is local, specific, and continuous. These are the issues I will keep working on for Newbury and New London.
Every family in this district is feeling the same pressure: The cost of living has outpaced wages, and the gap is closing slower than people can absorb. Affordability is not a single policy problem — it is the daily problem. As someone who has co-led a New Hampshire business through these same cost pressures, I bring a practical lens to this — and a voting record to match.
Child care. Often the largest cost a working family carries, sometimes more than a mortgage. I support expanding access to affordable child care so parents can work, businesses can hire, and children get the early start they deserve.
Housing. The housing shortage is real and it is hitting working families across our towns. I support policies that expand housing supply, protect tenants from no-cause eviction, and make home ownership achievable for people who grew up here. I have voted to block expanded grounds for eviction (HB 1499), to protect tenants whose Social Security income changes (HB 1171), and to keep state housing finance and affordable-housing programs intact (HB 1405; HB 1661; HB 1196; HB 572).
Health care. Premiums, deductibles, and prescription drug costs are eating into family budgets. I voted against adding work requirements to Medicaid that would reduce coverage (SB 134), and to add diapers as a covered Medicaid item (HB 1798). I oppose any policy that would reduce access or raise costs for working people, and I support real transparency and competition on the cost side.
Food and monthly bills. Groceries, electricity, heating fuel, and internet are where families feel the squeeze first. I voted to expand eligibility for free school meals (HB 665), against restricting what families on SNAP can buy (HB 1773), and against tightening SNAP eligibility (HB 1797). On utility costs, I voted to maintain New Hampshire's renewable energy standards (HB 219) and to preserve net metering for rooftop solar customers (SB 106) — long-term ratepayer protections that matter for monthly bills. More broadly, I evaluate every piece of electricity-related legislation through one lens: Whether it will lower the consumer's electricity costs. I only support electricity legislation that will lower consumer costs.
Wages and taxes. I voted to bring a state minimum wage bill back to the House floor for consideration (HB 1484), and against constitutional amendments that would have weakened New Hampshire's existing taxpayer protections (CACR 10; CACR 12).
Saving for the future. For college, for retirement, for an emergency — saving is what working families give up when day-to-day costs win. The state cannot fix every household budget, but it can keep New Hampshire a place where careful, hardworking people can still get ahead.
Newbury and New London are home to Lake Sunapee and some of the most valued land in New England. As a member of the House Resources, Recreation and Development Committee, I have direct jurisdiction over lake protection legislation — and I take that responsibility seriously. Protecting clean water, clean air, and the natural environment is an obligation, not a political position.
Mt. Sunapee wastewater lagoons. One immediate priority sits at the top of my list — and at the base of the mountain. The wastewater lagoons alongside the access road at Mt. Sunapee Ski Area are on state-owned land that Vail Resorts leases to operate the mountain, and the durable solution runs through close coordination between the NH Department of Environmental Services and Vail. On June 3, 2025, I addressed the Mt. Sunapee Advisory Commission directly on this issue, building on the careful work of the Newbury Conservation Commission. I support a constructive partnership between the State and Vail that protects Lake Sunapee's water quality while keeping the ski area's jobs and year-round recreation access intact. This is exactly the kind of issue the RRD Committee exists to work on — and I will keep pressing for the resolution our community deserves.
New Hampshire is seeing growing pressure from large technology companies to site data centers across the state. These facilities can bring jobs — but they also impose real costs on communities: Significant electricity demand, water consumption, and land-use changes that affect neighbors and local character. I am committed to ensuring data center development serves our communities, not just the companies building them. Residents deserve a voice in decisions that change what their neighborhoods look and feel like.
Every child in New Hampshire is entitled to an adequate education. Our funding model — heavily dependent on local property taxes — creates wide disparities between wealthy towns and working-class communities. I support increased state per-pupil funding, a fully funded public school system, and keeping public education dollars in public schools. Education Freedom Accounts should remain available to families who need them, not expanded into a universal subsidy.
Medical decisions belong to patients and their doctors — not the legislature. I oppose every restriction on access to reproductive health care, and I will vote against every effort to erode those rights in Concord.
Every person in this district deserves to live free of discrimination. I will oppose any legislation that targets LGBTQ+ people, restricts women's rights, or creates second-class status for any New Hampshire resident.
Our police, fire, and EMS personnel show up when we need them. They deserve a legislature that shows up for them — including on critical injury retirement benefits and the support our towns need to keep first-responder ranks staffed.
New Hampshire's business-friendly tax environment is worth protecting. So are the public schools, roads, lakes, and services that residents depend on. I support a fiscal approach that keeps the state competitive without defunding the public foundations of a functioning community.

Since 2019 he has co-led Lamont, Hanley & Associates with his sister — a Manchester Millyard business with 45 employees — most of them New Hampshire residents — and recognized as a Best Place to Work. He spent seven years leading a nonprofit organization dedicated to building community through the sport of ice hockey.
Greg is proud to represent Newbury and New London — and committed to serving all of his constituents, regardless of party.
