New Hampshire House of Representatives Rockingham 23

Pamela Z. Tucker (b. December 18, 1963) is a former Republican member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, representing Rockingham 23 from 2008 to 2016.

Tucker did not seek re-election to the New Hampshire House of Representatives in 2016.

Tucker was a 2016 Republican candidate who sought election to the U.S. House to represent the 1st Congressional District of New Hampshire. She dropped out of the race in early May 2016.[1][2]

Tucker expressed interest in running for the U.S. House of Representatives first congressional district in 2014, saying she had been encouraged to run and would have considered it if former U.S. Representative Frank Guinta (R) decided to pass on the race.[3] Guinta, however, decided to run and Tucker did not file with the New Hampshire Secretary of State to run in the Republican primary.[4]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in New Hampshire

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
