Matt Mayberry is a veteran of the Air Force and a businessman who, leading up to the election, worked at Carlisle Capital. Mayberry’s previous political experience included serving as a Dover city councilor, a school board member, and as the chairperson for the New Hampshire Commission on Human Rights.[3][4] Mayberry said his key campaign issues included supporting firearm ownership, supporting veterans’ access to resources, and increasing funding for infrastructure.[5]

Submitted Biography:  "I am a Union Mechanic. Farther of 2 wonderful girls. Happily married to my wife for 23 years. I am an ordinary citizen who is unhappy that our National debt is too high, the Opioid epidemic is not getting any better and the democrats keep trying to make our country a welfare state."

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

Our National Debt at this time is 26.6 Trillion. I want to propose bills to lower our debt.

The Opioid epidemic cost Americans 565 Billion per year and we are still loosing 70,000 lives and displacing 250,000 children every year. A bill that I would propose would allow for federal trial programs to rehabilitate our addicted at a very low cost to taxpayers. We now spend 6 -20 thousand for a 30 day rehab program. I would propose a 1 year program that does not use medications such as Suboxone or Methadone. Just the bare essentials: time (1 year), food, water, sanitary conditions and counseling. We must try again.

We lose 750 billion per year on our healthcare system which we spend annually about 3.4 Trillion. That's about one quarter out of every dollar that we lose on waste, fraud and mismanagement. I would propose a new commission to be established made up of the best and brightest along side Information Tech companies and their platforms so that we and not politicians can come up with a world class Healthcare system.

Primaries in New Hampshire

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. New Hampshire uses a semi-closed primary system. Unaffiliated voters may vote in the primary, but in order to do so, they have to choose a party before voting. This changes their status from unaffiliated to affiliated with that party unless they fill out a card to return to undeclared status.[12][13][14]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[15]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[16][17][18]

District analysis

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index
See also: FiveThirtyEight's elasticity scores

The 2017 Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+2, meaning that in the previous two presidential elections, this district's results were 2 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District the 225th most Republican nationally.[19]

FiveThirtyEight's September 2018 elasticity score for states and congressional districts measured "how sensitive it is to changes in the national political environment." This district's elasticity score was 1.19. This means that for every 1 point the national political mood moved toward a party, the district was expected to move 1.19 points toward that party.[20]
