Garrett Muscatel (born December 7, 1997) is a former Democratic member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, representing Grafton County District 12, Hanover and Lyme, from December 5, 2018, to June 8, 2020.[1] Muscatel resigned in June 2020 after his claims of being a New Hampshire resident were challenged by the New Hampshire Republican State Committee.[2]

Early life and education

At the time of his election to the legislature, he was a government and economics student at Dartmouth College, where he severed as vice president of the Dartmouth Democrats.[3] Muscatel first became interested in politics when he attended Barack Obama's presidential inauguration on January 20, 2009.[4] At age 21, he was the youngest openly LGBTQ legislator serving in the entire United States.[5] He is set to pursue a JD from Stanford Law School as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar.[6] He has two siblings, Evan Muscatel and Quinn Muscatel.

Political engagement

Muscatel is one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit led by the New Hampshire Democratic Party and the League of Women Voters against a new state requirement that imposes residency requirements for voting, SB3.[7]

On November 6, 2018, Muscatel won a seat in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. His constituency included Dartmouth College and the surrounding areas, including Hanover and Lyme.[8]
