Sheriff Election — Rockingham County, New Hampshire

This is Side Two
This page is the arena for this office, this cycle. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The county as a place is taught at Rockingham County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Four years — 2026 is the hiring
RSA 653:1 Rockingham proviso: from the 2022 general, these county officers are chosen for a 4-year term. SOS table: 2022 four-year, no election 2024, four-year 2026, no election 2028, four-year 2030. Last regular 8 November 2022. Next regular Tuesday, 3 November 2026. Primary Tuesday, 8 September 2026. Then 2030. Takes office RSA 653:10.
Coös is the other four-year county and has no 2026 — it started in 2024. They are out of phase. Do not paste Coös onto Brentwood. Do not teach this as a two-year desk. The presidential primary is a different year. The Governor is 2026 — a different oval.

What you are hiring
One four-year Sheriff for this county: civil process, court security and transport at the Brentwood complex, warrants, mutual aid. Not the jail superintendent. Not Portsmouth Police. Not Maine. Read the office page before you read a mailer. Vacancy mid-term is the county convention. Age seventy vacates the chair.
Salt, pine, papers, rights
A wrong paper or a mistreated transport: official complaint door and the courts. Relief in a nor’easter is this county’s mutual aid first. Service of process is a person at a door in Fremont. Due process does not pause at the Piscataqua. Equal protection from Salem to New Castle.
