MERRIMACK HOUSE DISTRICT 4
Canterbury, Loudon: 2 seats
Jose E. Cambrils
Party: Republican
Residence: Loudon
Occupation: Retired Engineering Executive in Commercial and Military Electronics
Incumbent: Yes
Abortion: Against. “I am a Christian and as such I believe a child in the womb is a person and has every right to live. I fully understand that in very rare cases when the mother’s life is at risk, an ending a pregnancy may be necessary, but to use abortion as an on-demand form of birth control, is a total disregard for human life and a ‘slippery slope.’”
Income, sales tax: Against. “I am totally against any new taxes. My voting record for 2021-2022 will show that.”
Marijuana: Opposed to legalization of state-run stores and private sales. Undecided on growing at home.
Should NH pass stricter gun control laws? No

Ellen Scarponi
Party: Democrat
Town of Residence: Canterbury
Occupation: Employer and employee for large and small businesses.
Incumbent: No
Abortion: Supports abortion rights. “I am passionate about equal rights for all people – especially for women and their right to make the best decisions for themselves. Abortion is not something any women wants, but sometimes it’s what she needs, to be at her best for herself, but also for all that depend on her. The right to an abortion needs to be codified in New Hampshire law.”
Income, sales tax: Undecided
Marijuana: Undecided
Should NH pass stricter gun control laws? Yes. “Gun safety laws should be enacted. I support the right of responsible gun owners to have non-weapons of war. There is no reason for non-military personnel to have assault style weapons and high-capacity magazines.”
