This November, the stakes are higher than ever, and Suraj Budathoki stands as the candidate who is well-equipped to fight for fellow granite staters.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Quality and Accessible Education: I am committed to ensuring that New Hampshire has the best and adequately funded public education system. Every child deserves a quality education, and I will work tirelessly to make this a reality.
Affordable Housing and Safe Communities: I will advocate for affordable housing solutions to ensure that everyone has a place to call home. Additionally, I will focus on building safer communities where families can thrive and feel secure.
Protecting Rights and Creating Opportunities: I will protect women’s reproductive rights and work towards creating opportunities for all individuals to succeed. My goal is to build a community where everyone has the chance to thrive, regardless of their background.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Community Safety: Building safe communities is essential for the well-being of all residents. I am passionate about policies that enhance public safety while fostering trust and cooperation between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
Education: I believe in the power of education to transform lives. I am passionate about ensuring that all children have access to high-quality public education that is adequately funded. Education is the foundation for a prosperous and equitable society.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Moral Imagination: The Art and Soul of Building Peace by John Paul Lederach.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Integrity: Honesty and transparency are essential. An elected official must be trustworthy and act with integrity in all dealings, maintaining ethical standards and being accountable to the public.

Compassion: Understanding and empathy towards the needs and struggles of constituents are vital. An official should be a compassionate listener and advocate for the well-being of all community members.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

My background as a refugee and immigrant has given me a deep understanding of the challenges faced by many in our community. I am a compassionate listener, committed to understanding and addressing the needs of my constituents.
I am driven by a desire to serve others and improve our community. This commitment to service is at the core of my decision to run for office, and it guides my actions and decisions.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Promoting policies that benefit constituents. Ethical Leadership: Upholding integrity and transparency.

Problem Solving: Addressing and resolving community and state issues.

Education and Awareness: Informing constituents about legislative developments and encouraging civic participation.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I would like to leave a legacy as someone who is compassionate, approachable, a good listener, and an ethical leader. I want to be remembered as a peacebuilder, not just in times of conflict but in everyday interactions, fostering understanding and cooperation among diverse groups. My goal is to create a more inclusive and supportive community where every individual feels valued and heard.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

At 29, I experienced the indescribable joy of coming to the US. After five years, I passed the test and was granted citizenship for the first time in my life. "American" became my nationality, and New Hampshire became my home. A historical event for me was the day I swore in as a citizen of this great nation.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first job was at a retail clothing store in Atlanta, GA. I didn't perform well, so I was often sent to clean the restroom. My next job was at a fast-food restaurant, where my responsibility was to attract as many customers as possible by offering samples.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Struggle is One voices and visions of liberation by Mev Puleo.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

If I could be any fictional character, I would choose Atticus Finch from Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird." Atticus is a paragon of integrity and moral courage, standing up for justice and equality.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

The last song that got stuck in my head was "Imagine" by John Lennon. Its powerful lyrics and timeless message of peace and unity resonate deeply with me.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

The ideal relationship between the governor and the state legislature should be collaborative and respectful, with both branches working together to serve the best interests of the public. This involves open communication, mutual respect for each other's roles and responsibilities, and a commitment to finding common ground on key issues.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Yes, building relationships with other legislators is highly beneficial. Strong relationships foster collaboration and facilitate the passage of legislation that addresses the needs of constituents. By working together, legislators can share insights, expertise, and resources, leading to more effective and comprehensive solutions to complex issues. Additionally, positive relationships promote a more respectful and productive legislative environment, making it easier to negotiate, compromise, and achieve common goals.

Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Even before I thought of running this campaign, I met with an Army vet who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and now works as an independent military contractor. He served this nation in his own way, and it made me reflect on how I could be of service to this country. I also met his wife and their two little children. As a father of two young children, I constantly worry about their safety when I read news about gun violence taking innocent lives. I am deeply concerned about our public schools underperforming due to inadequate funding and the presence of forever chemicals in our drinking water and land.

As an immigrant, I am troubled by some legislators deriding immigrants in this country. Seeing these issues unfold, I realized that as an immigrant, business owner, and doctoral student, I couldn't just stay on the sidelines and keep complaining. I felt compelled to step up and make a difference. This is why I decided to run for office – to advocate for safer communities, better-funded schools, clean drinking water, and a more inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Senator Lou D'Allesandro, New Hampshire Senator, Rep. Patricia Cornell, New Hampshire Representative

What committees interest you?

Election Law committee and Education, and Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Accountability is crucial to building trust with constituents, and I am committed to upholding high ethical standards, being transparent in all actions, and ensuring government operations are conducted with integrity and responsibility.

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.
