Faces of the House
Here’s the current (2011-2012) NH House of Representatives (minus four who provided no photo), broken down by party (Republican, red, and Democrat, blue) and by years in office from the longest-serving, Laura Pantelakos, to our current bumper crop of freshmen. Do you recognize your own reps in this array? Do you even know who your representatives are? Don’t worry, you aren’t alone.
