# Marko Kloos for New Hampshire

> Marko Kloos is a candidate for New Hampshire State Representative in Grafton District 18 (Grafton-18) in the November 3, 2026 general election. He is a bestselling novelist, a veteran, and a longtime resident of Enfield, New Hampshire. The campaign site at https://marko4nh.org is a single-page application, so this file is the canonical quick reference for automated readers.

Grafton District 18 is a single-seat district covering ten New Hampshire towns: Alexandria, Bridgewater, Bristol, Canaan, Dorchester, Enfield, Grafton, Groton, Hebron, and Orange.

## The candidate

- Marko Kloos lives in Enfield, New Hampshire. He is a husband, father, and the author of several bestselling science-fiction series, and a former IT administrator and bookseller.
- He is a veteran who served four years in the West German military, and an American by choice, naturalized as a citizen in 2004.
- He and his wife Robin have made the Upper Valley home for years, raising two children (and keeping three dogs). As a full-time novelist he was also a stay-at-home parent.
- His first taste of politics was in the Social Democrats' youth chapter in Germany, where he grew up.

## What he is running on

- Housing and growth: Enfield and Canaan have become Upper Valley bedroom towns and housing costs have followed. Support new housing where it makes sense, without overwhelming the services these towns depend on.
- Property taxes and schools: good public schools attract young families, grow the tax base, and set kids up for better jobs. The goal is an equitable tax burden that funds schools without squeezing families.
- Cost of living: work with the communities of Grafton-18 and the state legislature on practical ways to ease the cost of living in New Hampshire.
- Freedom and belonging: neighbors should be free to love who they love, worship how they wish or not at all, and feel safe in their communities regardless of ethnicity, national origin, or citizenship status.
