GLEN ALDRICH
District 6 - Gilford / Gilmanton / Laconia Ward 2
Mr. Aldrich is a current state representative and is running for his former seat
NOT Recommended
Mr. Aldrich does not have our support, as he is aligned with the Libertarian Free State movement and has advocated for NH to secede from the US, along with many other outlandish votes. This past term he has continued on this path.

PORCUPINE ALERT!
This candidate is supported by Big Money Outside Libertarian Groups.
Mr. Glen Aldrich is a returning State House candidate for District 6 (Gilford, Gilmanton and Laconia Ward 2) who lost his seat in 2022, shockingly re-elected in 2024 after being a part of the libertarian chaos at Gunstock.
Since his return, Mr. Aldrich has:
- Co-sponsored a bill to change county elected positions from 2 years to 4 years. The bill had NO discussion or hearing in the county, even though it ONLY affected our county. Citizens for Belknap had to mobilize more sensible opposition in the State House to defeat this bill. Senator Tim Lang later inserted this bill as a non-germane amendment, where it had to be defeated again.
- Attempted to shield a Weare state representative from censure, who used Nazi "final solution" language toward a Jewish state rep, and said another state rep should be deported. Aldrich joined Rep. Tom Ploszaj of Center Harbor & New Hampton, Rep. Paul Terry of Alton & Barnstead, and Rep. Steven Bogert of Laconia and 49 other misguided legislators to protect Rep. Travis Corcoran, who was overwhelmingly censured 288-53.
-- Mr. Aldrich voted on Aug. 19, 2026 against censuring another rep who also used appalling and offensive language against another rep. Read more in InDepth NH's article.
-- He supported HB 1815 which, instead of adequately funding public schools using state aid, changed the rules to limit the amount the state could pay. He also supported the "open enrollment bill," widely seen as damaging to school district budgets.
-- He joined the Delegation in cutting 50% or more from agencies like the Belknap County Conservation District, UNH Cooperative Extension, Lakes Region Mental Health, and made smaller cuts to Community Action Partnership, which runs Meals on Wheels, and senior and family support programs.
As a Free State libertarian and supporter of New Hampshire seceding from the United States, Citizens for Belknap opposed Mr. Aldrich in 2022.

After the bias and lies your group told about me the last time, I don't think I'll be answering this survey. Also, it seems like you only gave me 2 days to reply, that seems shady to me. Have a great day.

A Libertarian Zebra Doesn't Change its Stripes
Here is a post that tells a lot about the REAL Mr. Aldrich
Supported a bill for New Hampshire to secede from the USA.
Mr. Aldrich was a supporter of Senate Bill CACR32 which proposed an amendment that would have New Hampshire secede from the United States. The last line of that bill reads:
IF THE AMENDMENT IS ADOPTED, New Hampshire will peaceably declare independence from the United States of America and proceed as its own sovereign nation.
Read the bill's full text HERE.
The bill was rejected on the house floor by a vote of 323 to 13
What's wrong with this picture?
Mr. Aldrich is Endorsed by a Libertarian/Free Stater Group
The Liberty Alliance is a group that promotes an extreme Libertarian and Free State Libertarian agenda. They have rated all 424 of New Hampshire's legislators in terms of how well each of them conforms to their brand of Libertarian values. Mr. Aldrich, who pretends to be a Republican on the ballot, receives high marks from this group. True Republicans may want to take this fringe endorsement under consideration before casting a ballot.
Refused to Condemn January 6 Violence
A resolution was proposed in the New Hampshire House of Representatives condemning the violence in Washington, DC. Mr. Aldrich voted against a rules change that would've allowed that motion to be voted on by the full house. The resolution to condemn the violence was never voted on, and therefore failed.

Mr. Aldrich is a proud member of the Lakes Region Porcupines.
The Lakes Region Porcupines is local organization focused on supporting Libertarian and Free Stater values.
Aldrich and his wife signed the early mover pledge, which was aimed at getting 1,000 Free Staters to move to New Hampshire early to establish a network for other Free Staters to follow in later years. The majority of FSP participants will not move until 20,000 individuals have signed on for the Free State Project. Since moving, Aldrich has established the Lakes Region Porcupines and participated in other activities to grow the Free State Project movement
