Maria Perez is an El-Salvadoran born American politician who served as a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, representing the 43rd district which includes part of Hillsborough County[1] First elected as a Democrat in 2020, Perez left the party to sit as an independent in 2023, citing a lack of progress on issues and "feeling unwelcome in the party".[2][3] Her party switch was met with mostly negative reactions from the Democratic Caucus, who cited the decision as "disappointing".[4]

She endorsed Marianne Williamson for President in 2024.[5]

Early life and career

Perez was born in El Salvador on her grandparents' farm, where she had a total of 8 brothers and sisters. Throughout her childhood, she was sexually abused by her father and at the age of 16, was sold off into an arranged marriage in the United States. On her way to the United States, she was raped by two Mexican border agents, the marriage itself would last 11 years and gave her two children.[6]

At the age of 40, she graduated from Nashua Adult Learning and Nashua Community College. She also remarried to a new husband.[6] Before entering politics, she worked for Alene Candles, the Ford Motor Company, and Campers Inn RV. In addition, Perez also served as a Regional Director for Amy Klobuchar's 2020 presidential campaign.[1]

Tenure

While in the State House, Perez has focused on restoring abortion access in New Hampshire, the environment, and education.[7] She is seated on the House Children and Family Law Committee.[8]

In 2021, Perez was accused of Antisemitism due to tweeting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” and statements that Israel was an apartheid state.[9] The tweets were then deleted.[9] She received criticisms from local Jewish communities and issued an apology for her initial tweet, however did not address her claims about Israel.[10] She was then removed from the New Hampshire House Progressive Caucus's leadership.[11]

In January 2024, she was removed from the Hillsborough County Delegation Executive Committee due to not being a member of a political party.[3]

Personal life

Perez moved to New Hampshire from El Salvador and obtained citizenship in 2007.[12] She is also the vice-chairwoman of the National Human Rights Committee.[6]
