Lisa Bunker is an American politician, who was elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives in the 2018 elections.[1] She represents the Rockingham 18th District as a member of the Democratic Party.

Bunker and Gerri Cannon were elected alongside each other as the state's first transgender state legislators.[2]

Prior to her election to the legislature, Bunker was program director of a community radio station in Portland, Maine. In 2017 she published a middle grade science fiction novel Felix Yz about a boy fused with an alien and the risky procedure to separate them.[3] Her second middle grade novel, Zenobia July, was released in 2019 and is about a young trans girl finally living as herself and solving a cyber mystery.[4] Both titles are published by Penguin Random House.
