Alton, NH – Today, Paul Terry filed to represent Alton and Gilmanton in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Paul released the following statement:
“I am delighted to announce that I am running along with current New Hampshire State Representative Peter R. Varney to fill the two seats in Belknap County’s District 5. Serving in Concord the people of this beautiful area of our state will be a great honor. We have a lot of work to do in the wake of COVID-19 to get New Hampshire moving again and ensure our status in New England as the preeminent place in which to live and work. My election in November, along with a restored Republican majority in the House, will make this a reality after two years of disastrous legislative actions by the Democrat majority.”
Paul Terry makes his home in Alton, following thirty-nine years of service to several congregations as an ordained Presbyterian minister. His formal education includes a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Union College (NY), where he was graduated cum laude with departmental honors. He studied Public Administration at the State University of New York at Albany while on the staff of the New York State Assembly Speaker, and later received a Master of Divinity degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts. Additionally, his community service record includes work on a hospital board of directors and a school board, and three terms as chairperson of his presbytery’s board of trustees.
