Current members

See also: Historical representation of New Hampshire House of Representatives

Note: In New Hampshire, a member of the state legislature can be designated as being a member of more than one party. If a candidate runs on one ticket and the opposing party fields no candidate, and if the candidate gets a certain number of write-in votes on the opposing party ticket, then as an elected official, that politician is defined as belonging to both parties.

As of the 2010 elections, there are two members that are listed as members of both parties: Gary Coulombe, and Janet Wall. The New Hampshire House of Representatives keeps an official online list of all members of the chamber. On that list, representatives who have more than one party designation by custom have the party that could be considered their true party listed first. On that list, Coulombe and Wall as Democrats first. The list below follows that practice.
