William M. Marsh[1] (born March 28, 1958) is an American politician serving as a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives from the Carroll 8th district.[2][3][4] He was first elected to the State House in 2016 as a Republican.[5][6][7]

Early life

Marsh was born in Pennsylvania[2] and he graduated from Shady Side Academy in 1976.[4] He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1979 and Dartmouth Medical School in 1982.[4]

Career

On September 14, 2021, Marsh, an ophthalmologist and the Brookfield health officer, switched parties from Republican to Democratic because his Republican colleagues had organized a rally against the Biden administration's new vaccine mandates (see COVID-19 vaccination in the United States § September 2021).[4][8]

In February 2022, Marsh announced that he was going to challenge Jeb Bradley in the New Hampshire Senate.[9][10]
