Alton's St. Cyr makes it official, won't seek 3rd term

ALTON — State Representative Jeffrey St. Cyr (R-Alton) formally announced on Monday his decision to not seek re-election to the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

"After much consideration and discussions with my family, today I am announcing that I am not seeking a third term," said St. Cyr. Over the past four years, it has truly been an honor to serve and represent the citizens of Alton, Barnstead, Belmont and Gilford in the state Legislature. My decision to not seek re-election was not an easy one. This past December, I completed my undergraduate studies in hospitality management at the University of New Hampshire and I am looking forward to beginning a career and serving my community in other capacities."

St. Cyr said that during his four years in the House he enjoyed serving on the House Resources, Recreation and Development Committee and the House Education Committee.

"It has been a pleasure to serve with many great state representatives in Concord who are dedicated to their work in representing their constituents and serving in the House," he said. "I wish my fellow colleagues only the best in continuing to make New Hampshire a better place."

St. Cyr notes that the filing period will open for state representative in June and he encouraged citizens looking to further serve their community to consider running for the Legislature. "Serving in public office is one of the greatest acts that one can do for their fellow citizens," he said.

"While I may not be running for a third term, I look forward to staying involved where I can best dedicate my time and serving the citizens of New Hampshire in the future," St. Cyr said in conclusion.
