Carleigh Beriont
Running for: US House NH District 1
Carleigh Beriont serves on the Hampton selectboard and teaches at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. She is running for Congress in 2026 with a focus on social and environmental justice. “A lot of mornings, I wake up angry,” Beriont said. “I wake up angry that we don’t have paid parental leave, that we don’t have Medicare for all. I wake up angry about the way that corporate polluters are treating our planet.”
