District 1

Anthony DiLorenzo
Anthony DiLorenzo    
Republican

Owner, Key Auto Group

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."

Robbie Mahrou

Independent/Other

"Every job I have ever had put me in the corner of people the system overlooked. Loan officer during the 2008 crash. Hollywood producer fighting for talent against long odds. Founder of RoadHouse, a trading community built for people who were never invited to the table. Running RoadHouse changed something for me. Watching everyday people try to build financial security while monetary policy and Wall Street moved in ways most Americans never saw or understood made the divide impossible to ignore. Money determines policy. Policy determines opportunity. And for most people in places like western New Hampshire, neither one has ever worked in their favor. That realization brought me here. Most recently, I joined the board of a struggling food co-op, redesigned the model from the ground up, helped secure funding, and launched a pilot program that actually worked.

"My goal is to deliver accountability to the people of NH-02 that holds the federal government to a standard the founding fathers would have endorsed. The path we are on is not sustainable. The promises made to working families in western New Hampshire have been broken for decades by both parties. I am not here to join that system. I am here to change it. My only priority is to deliver on what has been promised and ignored for too long. The people of NH-02 deserve nothing less."

Robbie Mahrou is an independent running for the U.S. House of Representatives. On his website he wrote, "I'm running for Congress in NH-02 because the families of western New Hampshire have been left behind. For too long, Washington D.C. has ignored the real struggles here, skyrocketing housing costs, closing rural hospitals, family farms being squeezed out, and a cost of living that leaves a typical family of four nearly $1,900 in the red every year just covering the basics. Both parties had their chance. Both failed us."Mr. Mahrou collected enough signatures to appear on the general election ballot as an independent candidate.
