NH State Rep. Steven Kesselring

When people ask what I’ve accomplished during my first term in the legislature, it’s hard to put into words. I didn’t come to Concord for awards or recognition. I came to make a difference for New Hampshire.

That’s why receiving the first ever Michael Yakubovich Award from Granite Bio Innovation means so much to me.

Michael faced cancer like a warrior and turned that fight into action, helping lead New Hampshire’s Right to Try movement because he understood that for patients fighting for their lives, time is everything.

I’m honored to receive this award for my work on Right to Try and HB 1734, expanding access to innovative treatments and working to make New Hampshire a national leader in medical innovation.

Thank you to Michael’s family for being part of this award. Receiving something that carries his name and legacy truly means more than I can express.

As I run for reelection, I’m incredibly grateful for the trust and support my constituents have placed in me.

This is why I serve. Not for recognition, but to make a difference. And I’m not done yet.

Rep. Steven Kesselring: We can give new hope to patients who are out of options There are few responsibilities more important than standing up for people who have run out of options.

Tonight at 6:00 p.m., the Manchester Board of Mayor and Aldermen will hold its final meeting on the city budget.

I am asking our aldermen to keep their promises to taxpayers and respect the tax cap, while ensuring that police and fire contracts are fully funded.

Having worked through the state budget process, I understand how challenging budget decisions can be. But, like every elected official serving in the State House for just $100 a year, we all must live within our means and consider those who will be most affected by any tax increase.

I encourage you to contact your alderman or attend tonight’s meeting to listen. There will be no public comment tonight. 

It feels like I just got elected, but somehow it’s campaign season again!

One of the unique things about serving in New Hampshire is that every two years you have to earn the job all over again. So today, I’m officially announcing that I’m running for another term in the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

The last two years have been an honor, and there’s still a lot of work to do. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. I’m excited for the road ahead and the opportunity to continue serving our state.

Support the campaign:

Memorial Day is a reminder that freedom is never free. Today, we honor just a few of the countless American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and our freedoms.

I’m praying for their loved ones and every Gold Star Family, and I give thanks for those who gave everything so we could live free.

God Bless America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Today, my new opinion piece was published about legislation I’ve been working on. This bill is deeply personal to me because I truly believe it has the potential to save lives.

As a legislator, there are moments when you realize the work you are doing could make a real difference for families across New Hampshire. I believe this is one of those moments, and I take that responsibility very seriously.

I’m grateful to everyone who has helped bring attention to this issue and contributed to the conversation.

Imagine being told a treatment exists… it’s already been proven safe… but the FDA process and the system we have in healthcare will take years before you can access it.

That’s reality for too many people.

HB1734 gives patients a choice, with their doctor, to try treatments after safety testing is complete.

Because if time is running out, waiting isn’t an option.

Meanwhile, we spend nearly 60 BILLION taxpayer dollars every single year on medical research, investing in discoveries, innovation, and the hope of new treatments.

But instead of those breakthroughs helping patients here at home, over 75% of them end up going overseas.

Why? Because the system is too slow, too restrictive, and too disconnected from the patients who actually need these treatments.

So taxpayers fund the research, patients wait, and the innovation we paid for leaves the country.

That is not just inefficient. It is unacceptable.

Let’s fix it. Let’s lead.

Live free or die.
