My name is Jessica Sternberg, and I am running for state representative in the Rockingham District 1 special election. I am a born and raised Granite Stater and am a proud resident of Nottingham.
We want to thank Jessica Sternberg for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

I am a graduate of the University of New Hampshire, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in history, and I am currently a graduate student pursuing a master’s degree in public policy from the Carsey School of Public Policy. At UNH, I currently serve as the vice-chairman of the UNH College Republicans, where I work to promote Conservative values and host notable Republican voices, such as Karoline Leavitt and Vivek Ramaswamy, on a very liberal campus. Additionally, I serve as treasurer of the New Hampshire Federation of College Republicans, which serves to unite and form a community of college Republicans across the Granite State.
During the 2022 Midterm Elections, I worked as a Field Organizer for the NH Victory Team, of which I knocked over 30,000 doors across Rockingham County for our Republican candidates. Although we came up shorthanded in November, I am very proud of the work done by myself, the entire Victory team, and the candidates that I got to work with along the way. It was an extraordinary experience that taught me how much hard work pays off and if you want change, you need to work hard for it.
I am running for state representative because the balance of power quite literally rests on this election. New Hampshire House Republicans currently hold the slimmest majority in the past 100 years, and we cannot afford to lose this seat to the Democrats. If we lose this seat, we will be looking at a tie with House Democrats, who want to work to undo the NH Advantage by implementing a sales and income tax and restrict parents from knowing what their children are being taught in public schools. If elected, I plan on working with my fellow Republicans to continue to cut taxes, defend our second amendment rights, advocate for our emergency responders and veterans, defend school choice, and support parental rights.
At only 22, I’ve already faced opposition in running for office. I’ve been told by less than a handful of people that I am too young, but if my recent interview with 2022 GOP nominee for Congress Karoline Leavitt has anything to say, it is that I am more than capable of running for office and she has full confidence that I would be a strong conservative voice for the Granite State. The majority of people I’ve talked to believe quite the opposite of the small few who have told me that I’m too young. Talking to voters at the doors, I have found that the residents of Northwood and Nottingham are eager to have a young conservative represent them in Concord. These voters are looking for change and new ideas, and I am willing to bring that with me to the State House.
In closing, I kindly ask for your vote in the Republican primary on August 1st. Our Republican majority is at stake, and now is not the time to be complacent. Please make sure to get out and VOTE!
