Candidate for State Representative
District: Rockingham 4
John Sytek of Salem is a candidate for the Republican nomination for State Representative for Salem and Windham. Sytek served three terms in the NH House in the 90’s and recently retired after teaching Latin at Salem High School for the past 15 years. Prior to that he owned a small business and worked as an engineer at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. He is currently Salem town treasurer and is active in Salem Dollars for Scholars.
“I recognize that the state spending levels of the past few years cannot be sustained and need to be reined in. Having previously served in the House, though, I harbor no illusions that I have all the answers to the state’s problems. I intend to listen carefully, work diligently, and vote conservatively,” he stated.
During his time as state representative, Sytek was named a trustee of the NH Retirement System and was honored by the Society of Professional Engineers for his legislative work. He was the architect of the legislative compromise that established Civil Rights Day, which was subsequently named Martin Luther King Day.
A Salem resident for 40 years, Sytek is a graduate of St. Joseph’s University and MIT. He is married to former House Speaker Donna Sytek.
