Political career
editStarting in 2006, Copp ran for the New Hampshire House's 1st Merrimack district in every election cycle. In 2016, she was finally elected after a decade of trying. Rather than seeking re-election in that district, she instead ran in the 6th Rockingham district as the Libertarian nominee in 2018, finishing last in a field of 18 candidates. Copp ran for the same district as a Republican in 2020 and won.[1]
On July 1, 2021, Copp moved away from her home in Derry.[2] NH Journal wrote that as of July 27, the "notoriously difficult-to-pin-down" Copp had yet to resign or clarify her new address.[3] Copp eventually acknowledged that she had moved out of her district and resigned on August 5.[2]
In 2022, Copp ran for the 5th district of the New Hampshire Executive Council, challenging incumbent Dave Wheeler in the Republican primary.[4] She took 22.4% of the vote in the Republican primary.[1]
