Sanjeev Manohar's Campaign

Dr. Sanjeev K. Manohar is proud to serve Nashua's Ward 5 in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. A scientist, engineer, educator, and community leader, he believes that public service is about listening, solving problems, and bringing people together to improve the lives of those we represent.

Originally from India, Sanjeev and his wife moved to Nashua in 2006 after he joined the faculty at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, where he is a Professor of Chemical Engineering. Together they raised their two daughters in New Hampshire, and for nearly two decades Nashua has been their home.

Throughout his career, Sanjeev has been driven by a passion for service. As a researcher, educator, and mentor, he has spent decades helping students succeed, advancing scientific innovation, and working collaboratively to solve complex problems. Those same values guide his work in the Legislature.

During his first term in the New Hampshire House, Sanjeev has focused on being an accessible and responsive representative for the people of Ward 5. He serves on the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee, was elected to the Executive Committee of the Hillsborough County Delegation, and serves as the State Representative Liaison to the UNH Cooperative Extension Advisory Council. He is committed to thoughtful, evidence-based policymaking, fiscal responsibility, strong public education, affordable healthcare, support for veterans and military families, and protecting the rights and opportunities of every Granite Stater.

Sanjeev believes that democracy works best when we respect one another, listen to differing viewpoints, and base decisions on facts rather than ideology. Throughout his life, he has lived and worked in communities with many different political perspectives, strengthening his belief that we have far more in common than what divides us. He approaches every issue with an open mind, a willingness to listen, and a commitment to finding practical solutions that serve the public interest.

When he is not serving in Concord or teaching at the university, Sanjeev enjoys hiking, traveling, and exploring America by road. Having visited all 50 states and driven nearly a million miles, he has developed a deep appreciation for the people, communities, and diverse perspectives that make our nation strong.

As he seeks re-election, Sanjeev remains committed to serving Nashua with integrity, transparency, and thoughtful leadership. He would be honored to continue earning your trust and your vote.

Please contribute whatever you can (even $5). Down ballot races like Sanjeev's are grueling, time consuming and expensive. Each yard sign, for example, is $12! When you give to the top of the ticket please also consider supporting local candidates who need resources to go against opponents funded by big donors. Thank you!
