Joe Sweeney State Representative for Salem, New Hampshire House of Representatives

Joe Sweeney

Your State Representative

What Joe can do for you in Concord.

You shouldn't need a lobbyist to get an answer from your own government. A State Representative can open doors at every state agency and has a vote on every state law. Here's how Joe puts that to work for you.

Cut the red tape.

Unemployment, Medicaid, SNAP, a professional license, the DMV. State agencies answer a legislator's call. Joe makes it and stays on it.

Share your ideas.

State Representatives vote on New Hampshire's laws. Have an idea, or a problem state law gets wrong? Tell Joe. He wants to hear it.

Follow any bill.

What does a bill do? Where does it stand? When is the hearing, and how do you testify? Joe will tell you straight, and tell you where he stands.

A direct line for your town.

Select boards, town managers, schools, and police and fire chiefs can call Joe's cell about state aid, state grants, state road projects and state rules.

Serve your state.

New Hampshire runs on volunteers: hundreds of seats on state boards and commissions. Joe will help qualified residents find a seat and apply.

Honor someone special.

Eagle Scouts, veterans coming home, milestone birthdays and anniversaries, retirements, community service. Joe can present a certificate of recognition. Tell him who, why and when.

Come to the State House. See the House in session, sit in on a hearing, or testify on a bill you care about. Call or text Joe and he'll help you plan the visit.
