My story
“While some may see my youth as something negative, I see it as an advantage – I can be a voice that speaks for and from a student experience.”
- Jonathan Weinberg (he/him/his)
Jonathan currently serves on the Concord School Board, where he chairs the City and Community Relations Committee. Jonathan is also completing his undergraduate degree and pursuing a graduate degree for a Masters of Public Policy at UNH. In 2021, Jonathan was nominated and selected as the 2021 Civic Leader of the Year, an annual award distributed by Stay Work Play NH and NHPR. Outside of political advocacy work, Jonathan is an avid soccer fan, who can be frequently seen playing at Keach Park during the summer, or watching the English Premier League at home.
Jonathan before elected office is a 2018 graduate of Concord High School. Throughout his time in the district, he worked diligently to address inequities in the school. He frequently testified in front of the NH State Legislature, as well as in Washington DC to current members of the New Hampshire congressional delegation, such as Representative Annie Kuster and Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, to address environmental protections, immigration reform, gun violence prevention, and protecting DACA students in our community. Jonathan led students in a walkout in 2018 in solidarity with Marjory Stoneham Douglas and continued to help students become more civically engaged. He organized statewide rallies to address gun violence prevention and has been a vocal ally for Black Lives Matter Protests throughout our state.
