Manchester Residents,
Do you know your State Rep?
Rep. Steven Kesselring
District: Hillsborough 18 | Represents: Manchester Ward 12
Let’s take a look at his voting record:
Making the Housing Shortage Worse
Kesselring voted to remove funding from affordable housing. As a result:
Home prices in Manchester 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 in Manchester struggling to make ends meet.
Higher Property Taxes for You, Handouts for The Rich
While Ward 12 families struggle, Kesselring 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 Kesselring’s votes are making life harder for Manchester families.
