Strafford 18 Residents,

Do you know your State Rep?

Rep. Michael Harrington

District: Strafford 18 | Represents: Barrington, Middleton, New Durham, and Strafford

Let’s take a look at his voting record:

  • Making the Housing Shortage Worse

    • Harrington voted to remove funding from affordable housing. As a result:

      • Home prices in Strafford’s 18th district are up 50-60% since 2020

      • Rents climbed 25-35%

    • Result: More Granite Staters are unable to find homes

  • Higher Healthcare Costs for Families

    • He backed a budget that does not meet the needs of NH families

      • Supported a new income tax—up to $280/month—on lower-income families on Medicaid, risking their health coverage

      • Prescription copays increased by 200%

      • He also voted to cut $51 million from health, mental-health, and substance-use services

    • Result: More families struggle to make ends meet.

  • Higher Property Taxes for You, Handouts for The Rich

    • While families in Strafford’s 18th district struggle, Harrington sided with big corporations and the wealthy:

      • Tax cuts for the wealthy/multinational corporations

      • Diverted millions so the wealthy can use public dollars in private schools

    • Result: Families face higher property taxes and fewer school resources

The Bottom Line: Representative Harrington’s votes are making life harder for Barrington, Middleton, New Durham, and Strafford families.
