New Hampshire is special. We have no state income tax and no state sales tax. Few other states can say that. This is not luck. It is a choice that Granite Staters make again and again at the ballot box.
On Tuesday, November 3rd, we get to make that choice again.
What the NH Advantage Means for Your Family
When you get paid in New Hampshire, the state does not take a cut of your paycheck. When you buy groceries, clothes, or a new car, the state does not add a sales tax at the register.
That money stays in your pocket. For a working family, it can add up to thousands of dollars a year. For retirees on a fixed income, it can mean the difference between staying in the home they love and having to move away.
And in 2025, New Hampshire finished phasing out its tax on interest and dividends. That was a big win for seniors and savers. It happened because voters sent leaders to Concord who kept their promise to cut taxes, not raise them.
Why This Election Matters
Low taxes are not guaranteed. Every year, new spending ideas come up in Concord. Every new program has to be paid for. When spending grows faster than our economy, pressure builds for new taxes.
An income tax or a sales tax would not have to arrive all at once. It can start small, with a “temporary” tax or a tax on “just a few” people. But once a broad tax is in place, history in other states shows it rarely stays small.
Republicans have made a clear promise: no income tax, no sales tax. Voting the full ticket, from Governor down to State Representative, keeps the people who made that promise in charge of the budget.
The Cost of Living Is Already Hard Enough
Families here are already feeling the squeeze. Housing costs more. Heating oil and electricity cost more. Groceries cost more.
The last thing New Hampshire families need is a new tax on top of all that. Keeping taxes low is one of the best tools we have to help people afford to live, work, and raise families here. When Concord collects more taxes from you and sends more money to towns and schools, budgets grow to match it. That is why new state taxes won’t lower your property tax bill.
Every Office Counts
It is easy to vote at the top of the ticket and skip the rest. Please don’t. The State House and State Senate write the budget. Executive Councilors approve contracts and spending. Local races shape your property taxes.
A tax increase can pass by just a few votes. That is why voting the whole ballot matters.
