“I agree with encouraging changes to zoning to encourage more housing in state, but I also think it is important to give towns some autonomy in making these decisions. For example, the Housing Champions program is a voluntary, incentive-based state initiative that rewards towns and cities for updating zoning laws and building workforce housing, and funding should be restored to this program.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“The current funding structure disproportionately impacts working families and homeowners on fixed incomes, with the state avoiding paying its fair share of school budgets. We must bring much needed investment back to our local schools and lower property taxes.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“While I agree with this in theory, the reality is that this can be a huge barrier to voting for citizens who don't have these necessary hard copy documents readily available. We know that noncitizen voting is already illegal and extremely rare, and our state already has voter ID laws in place.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)

Zoe Manos

Zoe Manos (D) of New Hampshire is an incumbent New Hampshire State Representative (Rockingham 12) running for the House of Representatives in Rockingham 12 in the November 3, 2026 general election, serving on the Judiciary Committee.

“I believe that Education Freedom Accounts should be available for low come families. Currently, there are NO income limits. This has blown a hole of millions of dollars in our state budget. I do NOT believe that EFAs should be used to pay for religious schools.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“New Hampshire's anti-discrimination law should NOT allow segregation based on biological sex in settings, such as bathrooms and locker rooms. I am undecided about other circumstances.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“I support Roe v. Wade. I STRONGLY support putting the standard of Roe v. Wade into our state law. Abortion after 24 weeks should be permitted when the life or health of the mother is at risk and in cases of fetal death or abnormality. These decisions belong to the mother, in consultation with her doctor. The government does not belong in the exam room.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)

“These higher rates put a damper on development. Locally developers tell me that development proposals are being delayed by state agencies.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“When asked about marijuana legalization in general on the 2018 Citizens Count issue survey, Abrami wrote, "I have been chairing the Commission to Study the Legalization, Regulation, and Taxation of Marijuana for a year now. In that role, it is important, until the report is published on November 1, that I stay neutral on this issue.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
Statewide family and medical leave from all wages: “It became immediately apparent that this plan would not have brought in enough money to pay for the estimated claims and expenses and as such, the plan was not financially sustainable. This is why I voted no on this particular plan.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
