Anthony DiLorenzo
Running for: US House NH District 1
Anthony DiLorenzo is a prominent seacoast businessman who has worked behind the scenes supporting Republicans for many years. He wrote on Facebook, "The greatest decision I ever made in business was choosing to build my life in New Hampshire. This state has given me a lot, but I am deeply concerned that the next generation will not have the same opportunities to live their American Dream as I did. While the people struggle, Washington is divided; stuck on the wrong issues, and lacking common sense. I am running to change that."

At a 2026 WMUR debate Mr. DiLorenzo said, "We need to stop spending more money than we take in. Deficit spending is detrimental to pricing, and it causes inflation. We need to start to control the national debt and additionally, I think we need to bring good paying jobs to New Hampshire."

During a 2026 WMUR debate Mr. DiLorenzo said, "During NAFTA, we lost about 90,000 manufacturers. And the purpose of the tariffs are threefold, first of which is to generate revenue for the government. Secondly, and to me most importantly, is to create manufacturing and businesses here in the United States, create more good paying jobs, and that will benefit everybody. And the third thing is to open up markets to American goods. So I support those three initiatives. But the key measurement here is inflation, and that measures increases in prices. And right now that measurement is in the 3% range. I would like to see it go lower. But so far we are not feeling the impact of the tariffs significantly. I operate several different businesses and we deal with this on a regular basis. And it's difficult to do. So, we've had to take a lot of the price increases and not pass those onto consumers. And we're happy to do it. But it is difficult on a business perspective, and I've talked to a lot of businesses that are struggling with it."

When asked about how to bring down energy costs at a 2026 WMUR debate, Anthony DiLorenzo voiced support in general for more pipelines. He said, "Pennsylvania has an exorbitant amount of natural gas, which, if we were able to get a pipeline, which they are working on and Congress can work on this as well as the President, that would significantly lower our costs here in New England."

At a 2026 debate DiLorenzo said, "I support peace through strength. I do support Israel. I do not believe that the United States should be the world's policeman. I appreciate what the president has done in requiring NATO countries to pay their fair share. I also appreciate what he's done in Ukraine. Unlike President Biden, that was giving away money with no repayment, President Trump has required Ukraine to pay us back with minerals. So I think it's important that we support our allies, but I think it's also important that we require our allies to Support themselves as well. In addition, any military funding should come with a string that the country receiving those funds acts in a humanitarian way as much as possible in a conflict."

At a 2026 WMUR debate DiLorenzo said, "I remember when the not so Affordable Care Act was passed and I, we had to have a meeting with our senior management because it was very clear at the time that rates were going to go up significantly. I remember talking to a waitress at a local restaurant, a mother of two. She said her family's health care went up, doubled just because of the Affordable Care Act. So we need to fix the Affordable Care Act. We need to bring transparency to health care. We need more health care insurers. We need less regulation prohibiting competition I would start there."

When asked about social security at a 2026 debate, DiLorenzo said, "I would say Social Security. It's a, it's a passion of mine, as I said, Social Security was established in 1937. Had the federal government reserved the funds that we paid in and invested that in the stock market, We would have close to $30 trillion sitting in Social Security today. Instead we have nothing. They say there's 2.76 trillion in there, but it's just an IOU from the US government. I think Social Security is a solvable issue. I think it's in a crisis mode now, not in the next decade, like they say, and I think it's a solvable problem. We need to look at what the contributions are. We need to make sure that the money that we pay in is protected and invested for future obligations. And we need to stop spending money in DC generally in an irresponsible manner."

At a 2026 WMUR debate Mr. DiLorenzo said, "Our laws are very good. I actually was at the Red Arrow Diner a few months ago and got into a fairly heated conversation with a couple that called the SAVE America Act voter suppression. And I asked why they thought that, and they said because of the name change. I said well, I've talked to Secretary of State Scanlon in New Hampshire, and not only can you vote the same day with just showing documentation of your name change, but at the polls they have access to vital records and DMV records so they can verify your name change right at the polls. Now, I don't believe that's consistent throughout the country, which is why I think we need the federal government to step in to enforce the Constitution, which says eighteen years-old and U.S. citizen to vote."

At a 2026 debate DiLorenzo said, "I do not want to see the radical Islamic Iranian regime have a nuclear weapon. I don't want my children growing up in a world where they have a nuclear weapon, so I support the president's initiative in destroying their nuclear capabilities. I support his willingness to use diplomacy over boots on the ground. I would not support boots on the ground in Iran. I also appreciate the fact that he's using economic pressure, an embargo, bringing their economy to their knees and forcing them to the negotiating table. Um Let's see. As far as an endgame. I think that we need to insist that the straits stay open, and I would not be surprised if the president ends up giving that regime an ultimatum basically with Carg Island and saying if you don't, if you don't come to the table, I'm, I'm going to finish Carg Island, which would ruin their economy."
