Alright, let's talk about some crazy State Legislature stories! Tonight's one is the tale of one Max Abramson, the man who has switched parties nine times in the past eight years!
Abramson first tried to get in office in 2010, when he ran for the New Hampshire State House as a Republican. He lost in the primary and switched to the Libertarians in 2012 to run for a Rockingham County position.

Current Party Switches: 1 (Rep -> Libertarian)
Abramson switched back to the Republicans in 2014 when he won a spot in the State House. By May 2016 he switched back to the Libertarian Party to become their nominee for Governor. He got 4.3% of the vote, which gave the party major-party status.

Current Party Switches: 3
Abramson came back to the legislature in 2018, once again as a Republican. However, shortly after he was sworn in, he went back to the Libertarian Party to run for their Presidential nomination in 2020.

Current Party Switches: 5
(Correction: He served as an Independent while running as a Libertarian, because we needed to add another layer of complications to this story)
Abramson dropped out of the Libertarian Primary in March 2020, rejoining the Republican Party. However, he soon left the Republicans and joined the Democrats. But he left the party soon after that to run for the Presidency for two more parties!

Current Party Switches: 7
Abramson then joined something called the Veterans Party of America to run for their nomination for President and also joined the Reform Party for their nomination for President!

Current Party Switches (as of May 25th, 2020): 8/9
So yes, Max Abramson is the only Republican/Libertarian/Republican/Libertarian/Republican/Ind/Republican/Democrat/Veterans/Reform member of any State Legislature in America.

Got to love New Hampshire folks!
