Political Journey
Max Abramson has been involved in politics for many years. In 2010, he first tried to become a Republican candidate for the New Hampshire House of Representatives. He did not win that election by a small number of votes.
Later, in 2014, Abramson was elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives. He was a Republican at that time.
Party Changes and Elections
In May 2016, Abramson changed his political party from Republican to Libertarian. The Libertarian Party believes in less government control. In September of that year, he became their candidate for Governor of New Hampshire. He received 4.3% of the votes in the election.
His campaign helped the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire become a major party. This meant they would automatically be on the ballot for future elections. This was the first time in 20 years this had happened for the party.
After the 2016 election, Abramson switched back to the Republican Party. He was then re-elected to the Legislature in 2018.
Recent Political Actions
In 2022, Abramson was one of 13 Republicans who voted for a big change. This change would have allowed New Hampshire to leave the United States. This idea is called secession.
Also in 2022, Abramson disagreed with a new law in New Hampshire. This law would have allowed people to build more homes on land that was only for single-family houses before.
In September 2022, Abramson ran for re-election but lost in the Republican primary. He was trying to represent the Rockingham 40th district. Jason Janvrin won that primary and then the main election.
Presidential Campaign in 2020
After the 2018 election, Abramson announced he was rejoining the Libertarian Party. He wanted to run for president as their candidate in 2020.
He officially started his presidential campaign on June 30, 2019. He had just left the Republican Party again and became an independent politician. During his campaign, Abramson was the only elected official running for the Libertarian nomination.
His main goals were to bring troops home from other countries and to lower the country's debt. Abramson said his goal was not just to win the presidency. He also wanted to help more Libertarian politicians get elected to government jobs. He stopped his campaign for the Libertarian nomination on March 3, 2020.
After that, Abramson tried to get the presidential nomination from other parties. He asked the Veterans Party of America for their support. He also announced he would run for the nomination of the Reform Party. He tried to get these two parties to join together, but the Reform Party leaders did not like this idea.
Abramson finished second at the Reform Party Convention. On August 22, he announced that the Veteran's Party of America would not have a candidate for president in 2020. This ended his 2020 presidential efforts. He then decided to run as a Republican for the New Hampshire House of Representatives again.
