The New Hampshire Executive Council is one of those peculiar state bodies that wields substantial influence despite relative obscurity. It approves state budgets, confirms judges, oversees infrastructure projects — and has just five members. Karen Liot Hill ’00 is the Democratic nominee for the second Executive Council district, which includes Hanover. She won her primary on Sept. 10 by nearly 11 points and, given the district’s heavy Democratic lean, is the overwhelming favorite going into November. While at Dartmouth, Liot Hill helped launch programs such as First-Year Fellows and the Policy Research Shop. Since then, she has remained involved in local politics as the longest-serving member of the Lebanon City Council and a board member of the Lebanon Pedestrian & Bicyclist Advisory Committee.
