This year’s elections will be key to whether New Hampshire finally lives up to its “Live Free or Die” motto. In the governor’s race, legalization supporter Cinde Warmington and incumbent prohibitionist Kelly Ayotte are squaring off in a race ranked as a “Likely Republican” by Cook Political Report. Meanwhile, the state Senate race has several open and competitive seats that will be crucial to whether — and how — New Hampshire legalizes cannabis.
To help inform voters, MPP has created a voting guide where we ranked candidates’ support for legalization and other further cannabis policy reforms from A+ to F. The voter guide includes information from their records, public comments, responses to Citizens Count’s survey, and replies to our candidate survey.
You can find your New Hampshire state Senate and House district — along with everything else that will be on your ballot — N.H. Secretary of State website.
In addition to compiling their records and public statements, we asked N.H. Senate and House of Representatives candidates these five questions:
Every Senate seat is on the ballot. For each race, we listed the more supportive candidate first.
We conducted a candidate survey and voter guide on the 400-member N.H. House of Representatives. We have the responses of the 47 candidates who responded here. However, here are some additional resources that can help inform your votes:
Cinde Warmington (D) — A
State of New Hampshire
She recently stated that New Hampshire needs additional revenue streams and legalizing cannabis should be a priority. “There is no reason why the citizens of New Hampshire should be driving across state borders to pay taxes to Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine to purchase a product that they obviously have stated that they want to have access to in our state,” she said. “We need to get that done.” She did not respond to the MPP candidate survey.

Kelly Ayotte (R) — F
State of New Hampshire
The former U.S. senator and state AG opposes legalization. She worked to defeat medical cannabis and decriminalization. In 2026, she vetoed legislation that would have allowed medical cannabis cultivators to utilize greenhouses. Her veto was overridden by the legislature in August.
When WMUR asked Ayotte in 2024 if she would entertain legalization if she is elected governor, or if she is a firm “no,” she said, “I don’t think legalizing marijuana is the right direction for our state. I don’t support legalizing marijuana in this state.”
In 2015, then-U.S. Sen. Ayotte lobbied NH state senators against modest decriminalization, according to prohibitionist Sen. Bill Gannon. Ayotte also opposed a tightly crafted medical cannabis bill in 2009.
Ayotte’s campaign failed to answer questions from MPP about whether she would veto a legalization bill, along with questions about her position on record-clearing and allowing home cultivation for patients or adult-use consumers. (KellyForNH.com)

Cathleen Fountain (D) — A
Senate District 1 (Parts of Coos and Grafton Counties)
According to Citizen Count, "I support legalizing recreational marijuana through licensed private businesses operating under strong state regulations. New Hampshire should learn from the regulated private-market systems used elsewhere in New England rather than establishing state-run cannabis stores. The state should provide strict oversight and enforce standards for testing, labeling, secure storage, responsible sales, and preventing access by minors. This approach would support local businesses while protecting public health and safety. The state should regulate the industry and hold businesses accountable, but it should not be in the business of selling cannabis itself. Therefore, I am for licensing growers and private retail locations and against establishing state-run cannabis stores. Personal home growing could also be permitted within reasonable limits and with appropriate safeguards." The candidate did not answer the MPP survey.

Bobbi Boudman (D) — B+
Senate District 3 (Parts of Carroll, Coos, Grafton and Strafford Counties)
According to Citizen Count —"We currently have a cannabis crisis. Our surrounding states have legalized cannabis for recreation. This has forced all the illegal drug trade into NH, and onto our children. Control the drug and you better control the flow of what's illegally on our streets. With proper programs in place, we can educate our children as to the dangers. We also need to make sure all the loopholes surrounding states have for sales to under 21 are closed. Currently Maine has licensed medical professionals who will give an 18 year old a medical marijuana card after a 20 second phone call if the teen says they have anxiety. This cannot happen here and should be specifically written into our laws. We also need to treat cannabis the way we treat liquor, legalization doesn't mean you can smoke everywhere and anywhere at all times." Boudman did not respond to the MPP survey.

I share in some of the concerns from the law enforcement community about public health and safety relative to legalization, and would like to learn more about the impacts legalization has had on other states." In the 2020 Citizens Count Issue Survey, he said he was against legalization. As a state rep, McConkey voted in favor of decriminalizing 3/4 ounces of cannabis (HB 640, 2017).

We don't have to reinvent the wheel; every state that borders us has already worked out a model, so let's learn from what's worked and what hasn't. If the right fit turns out to be running it through our state liquor store system, I'm open to that. From where I sit, I watch a steady stream of cars heading over the border into Maine to buy legally; that's New Hampshire revenue and New Hampshire jobs driving right past us. I'd want to hear from folks across the district on the details, but the basic direction? I'm there." He answered all four questions on the MPP survey with a YES but wanted more information for a state store model.

Sen. Howard Pearl (R) — C+
Senate District 17 (Barnstead and Parts of Merrimack and Rockingham Counties**)
In 2024, Sen. Pearl voted in favor of the Senate’s version of cannabis legalization, which included state-affiliated private franchise stores. He also sponsored an amendment to ensure some cultivation licenses went to in-state farmers. In 2023, Sen. Pearl voted against the legalization bill HB 639, which had private sales. In the 2026 Citizens Count Issues Survey, he stated "I am supported medical marijuana programs and decriminalization. I will give full consideration to any bill relating to full recreational use, homegrown, and state run distribution facilities. The challenge with many of these bills is in the details of the language. In the past I have supported some and not others." In 2025, he voted against HB198 which would have legalized possession and home grow. He voted to kill home grow rights (HB53) for medical patients. He voted to kill HB186 which would have legalized an adult use market. Pearl has not responded to MPP’s candidate survey. (PearlForSenate.com)

Sen. Abbas chaired the 2023 study commission on legalization and played a key role in shaping the Senate version of the 2024 legalization bill, HB 1633, which he voted for. While Sen. Abbas was open to some amendments that improved the bill from his original language, he rejected others. He opposed removing jail time for subsequent offenses of smoking in public, and opposed integrating and prioritizing the therapeutic cannabis program. He only supported the bill if it had a franchise or state-run stores model, which Gov. Sununu also insisted on. Sen. Abbas voted against a solid legalization bill with private stores in 2023.

Senate District 23 (Parts of Rockingham County)
Sen. Gannon is an ardent prohibitionist who has opposed even decriminalization. He voted against every legalization bill he’s voted on, including HB 1633 in 2024. In 2024, Sen. Gannon proposed three anti-cannabis bills — a draconian open container bill (SB 426, which was revised to be less harsh and passed), SB 418 (the original version would have capped THC in therapeutic cannabis at 16%), and SB 419 (the original version would have set an unscientific DUI threshold that ensnares sober drivers). In 2017, Sen. Gannon voted against allowing medical cannabis for chronic pain (HB 157) and against decriminalization (HB 640). When the 2024 Citizens Count Issue Survey asked if he supports legalizing cannabis for adults, he replied, “NH currently has decriminalized possession of small amounts and has legalized medical use. I have served on the two marijuana commissions in the last decade. Recreational pot will send the signal pot is no big deal. Wide spread use will be bad for NH, bad for families, bad for students and bad for society. It has terrible effects on brain development.” In 2025, he voted against HB198 which would have legalized possession and home grow. He voted to kill home grow rights (HB53) for medical patients. He voted to kill HB186 which would have legalized an adult use market. Gannon has not responded to MPP’s candidate survey. (WilliamGannon.net)

You should need a lisence (should be easy to get for individuals looking for small amounts) to grow/create any potentially intoxicating substance, which should include the right to randomly check and make sure it is truly being done securely; perhaps enforcement could be from an entity that is not police who are not there to search for any other crimes.
If you mean "discreetly" meaning without any sort of regulaton, then no. If you think there should be some reasonable oversight, then yes.

I do not believe that any potentially intoxicating or potentially addictive substances (including vapes, cannabis, alcohol, Nicotine products, etc) should be sold at any for-profit entity.

Simple possession should be cleared. Illegal cannabis distribution (over a certain amount, which i would need more info from various experts to determine exact numbers) should stay but have punishments lessened

You should need a lisence (should be easy to get for individuals looking for small amounts) to grow/create any potentially intoxicating substance, which should include the right to randomly check and make sure it is truly being done securely; perhaps enforcement could be from an entity that is not police who are not there to search for any other crimes.
If you mean "discreetly" meaning without any sort of regulaton, then no. If you think there should be some reasonable oversight, then yes.

I do not believe that any potentially intoxicating or potentially addictive substances (including vapes, cannabis, alcohol, Nicotine products, etc) should be sold at any for-profit entity. Shareholder dividends should NEVER be a possible end goal if addiction/intoxication is a valid means to get them.

Depending on the actual underlying criminal charges, I would support this. For example, simple possession that was not pleaded down from possession with intent, I would support automatic free annulment. Again, depending on the underlying facts, I would support it even for cases that were pleaded down, but not without explanation. Anything that was a clear higher level offense should remain as it's not as much about the marijuana as much as a disregard for the rule of law.
Supports Review for Annulment or Resentencing of Other Cannabis Offenses
As I said in my previous response, it should be automatic for simple possession, but a closer look should be required the higher up the actual charges are in the conviction scheme.

For legitimate patients who medically benefit from it, there should be no government interference or permission required. There should be limits on amount and access by children or others for whom the access would be inappropriate.

Given the strength of modern cannabis, condoning the private cultivation for recreational use is a recipe for disaster. The effects on the brain of young adults are just now becoming known and much more remains to be seen. Criminals will use this for illicit purposes to confound law enforcement and the danger to the public of recreational use alone is still unclear. Furthermore, its status as a federal controlled substance raises serious questions. The state condoning something that leaves the public subject to federal criminal penalties, creates confusion among the public. It is either illegal or not.
Unclear if Supports Integrating Therapeutic Cannabis into Legalization
This needs careful and thoughtful organization. The strength of the available cannabis can and should be controlled so as mitigate, to the extent possible, negative impacts on the public, especially those unfamiliar with cannabis, those whose use would be medically contraindicated and children. I again must reiterate that so long as it is a federally prohibited substance, pretending it is not at the state level, sets up the public for possible serious criminal penalties.

I would be in favor of annuling cannabis possession charges post-legalization, but if this question is getting at annuling distribution charges, that would be a harder sell. I'm not entirely opposed to the idea, but that would be a much more in-depth conversation.

I'm interested in legalizing weed by way of ensuring state revenue can be generated in the process. As such, state stores in a similar vain to how we sell alcohol in NH is what I'm envisioning. I am interested in perhaps opening private pathways for personal cultivation by way of simply taxing weed once it enters NH, but that requires more thought put into it.

Anyone who deals in illegal products, regardless of them being made legal in the future, should be criminally charged. There also shouldn't be a special exception for driving impaired. Treat it like alcohol.

Maine has a cannabis store on every corner, and God help us if we follow their lead. Put it in the liquor stores so we know it's safe, and it can lower our taxes.

The punishment should fit the crime, therefore, all offenses should be carefully reviewed before a blanket annulment or resentencing takes place.

If we ever want to fix the damage done by the war on drugs, it is imperative that we remove the convictions of non-violent drug offenses from the records of our fellow citizens.
Supports Review for Annulment or Resentencing of Other Cannabis Offenses
This depends greatly on the level of the offense, however it is worth considering if annulment or resentencing makes sense for anyone convicted of a cannabis related offense if we are going to legalize the substance.

Frankly I believe legalization of cannabis at any level is a good thing. If that has to happen via the private sector that is alright with me, but my preference would be legalization through state stores similar to the way alcohol sales occur currently.

Like alcohol, marijuana is not risk free. It needs to be regulated and taxed. The state should have no incentive to promote marijuana (e.g. state owned stores), but but should not prevent it from being sold, with appropriate regulation, in the private sector.
