​

Ms. Lisa Freeman is a conservative libertarian and previous one-term state representative for the floterial NH District 43 for Manchester and Wards 4, 5, 6, 7 in 2016-2018.  She served on the Election Law Committee, and In 2018, she had a B+ rating by the NH Liberty Alliance, just 8 reps below extremist Norm Silber.    That same year, Glen Aldrich and Michael Silvia both got an A+ - as extreme as you can get.

 

Before moving to Tilton in 2022, she was also a member of the Manchester School board, but lost the seat in 2019.  She ran again for House in 2021, but withdrew her candidacy when she moved out-of-district.  In August of 2022, she purchased a home in Tilton.  Only months later, she ran for Tilton Selectboard and placed 4th among four candidates in 2023.   

 

Although outdated, this video may provide some insight as to her beliefs on public education.  https://youtu.be/EG1tEH77tzA?si=zJl3cJU6cqeUJDXE

 

While her views on public education are more moderate for a Republican at that time, she later supported the SB 193 Education Freedom Savings Account, which was estimated at the time to have cost the Manchester School District $430,000 for every 1% of students who chose the voucher system.   Much of the legislation she previous sponsored as a rep was related to charter schools and control of local school boards.

 

Her views on other issues are more fringe, including baseless accusations that absentee voting is subject to widespread voter fraud.   She supported SB 3, a voter suppression bill aimed at college students, which was later ruled unconstitutional.  

 

In 2018 her position on Citizens Count’s website as to whether the state should take steps to alleviate the affordable housing crisis, critical in Belknap County, was, “New Hampshire government does not need to do more to increase the supply of affordable housing."

 

Ms. Freeman has one letter in the Laconia Daily Sun, taking offense to a parade-goer’s reaction: Lisa Freeman, Laconia Daily Sun, July 19, 2024

 

Ms. Freeman has not responded to the Citizens for Belknap questionnaire, nor does she have a current website.  She has not done the typical introduction letter in the Laconia Daily Sun, and as far as we can tell, has otherwise communicated little to the community.  

 

Given this lack of effort, her short tenure in the community, and her libertarian record,, Citizens for Belknap does not recommend her.
