Lisa Mazur, a Representative from New Hampshire, said that passing bills to limit transition procedures for minors would position the state as a leader in protecting children in the region. This statement was made on the social media platform X.
“If the two bills that protect kids from irreversible transition drugs and surgeries are signed into law in NH, I believe this number will continue to grow,” said Liza Mazur. “NH would be a light in New England for protecting children.”
Legislative efforts to restrict transition-related medical care for minors have intensified in New Hampshire and across New England. Lawmakers have introduced bills aimed at limiting or banning gender-affirming treatments such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy for youth. According to New Hampshire Public Radio, these measures have sparked heated debate over minors’ rights, medical freedom, and LGBTQ+ protections during recent legislative sessions.
A 2024 report from the New Hampshire Secretary of State reveals that 31% of voters in New Hampshire are registered as undeclared, 28% as Republican, and 26% as Democrat. This reflects a politically competitive state with a significant bloc of independent voters.
A 2024 analysis by the Pew Research Center finds that Democratic voter registration in New England has risen by about 2% over the past two election cycles. In contrast, Republican registration has declined slightly, while New Hampshire’s undeclared voters remain the largest segment.
According to Ballotpedia, Mazur is a Democratic member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives since 2022. She is known for supporting youth access to gender-affirming healthcare and advocating for broader LGBTQ+ and healthcare rights.
