Max Abramson's Political Journey

Max Abramson has been involved in politics for many years. He has changed his political party several times. This is common for politicians who want to represent different ideas.

Early Steps in Politics

In 2010, Abramson ran for the New Hampshire House of Representatives. He was a Republican candidate but did not win that election. Later, he ran for a county attorney position as a Libertarian. He believed the office needed changes.

In late 2014, Abramson was elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives. He won as a Republican for the Rockingham District 20.

Changing Parties and Running for Governor

In May 2016, Abramson changed his party from Republican to Libertarian. In September of that year, he became the Libertarian candidate for Governor of New Hampshire. He received 4.3% of the votes in the 2016 election. His campaign helped the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire gain important status. This allowed them to be on the ballot automatically for the first time in 20 years.

After the 2016 election, Abramson switched back to the Republican Party. He was re-elected to the Legislature in 2018.

Recent Political Actions

In 2022, Abramson was one of 13 Republicans who voted for a special change. This change would have allowed New Hampshire to leave the United States. This idea did not pass.

Also in 2022, Abramson was against a new law in New Hampshire. This law would have allowed homeowners to build more homes on their land. He opposed allowing up to four housing units on lots that were previously for single-family homes only.

In September 2022, Abramson lost the Republican primary election. He was running for the Rockingham 40th district. Jason Janvrin won this primary and later the general election.

Presidential Campaign in 2020

After the 2018 election, Abramson announced he would return to the Libertarian Party. He wanted to run for their presidential nomination in 2020.

He officially announced his campaign on June 30, 2019. He had just left the Republican Party and became an independent. During his campaign, Abramson was the only elected official running for the Libertarian nomination. His main goals were to bring troops home and reduce the national debt. He also wanted to help more Libertarians get elected to other government positions. Abramson ended his campaign for the Libertarian nomination on March 3, 2020.

He later sought nominations from other parties, like the Veterans Party of America and the Reform Party. He tried to combine these two parties, but leaders of the Reform Party did not like this idea. He finished second in the Reform Party Convention. On August 22, 2020, he announced that the Veteran's Party would not run a candidate. This ended his 2020 presidential efforts. After a short time with the Democratic Party, he decided to run as a Republican again. He ran for the New Hampshire House of Representatives from District 37 of Rockingham County.
