==Government== {{see also|List of mayors of Manchester, New Hampshire|Mayoral elections in Manchester, New Hampshire}} Manchester is incorporated as a city under the laws of the state of New Hampshire, and operates under a strong mayoral form of government. The mayor serves as chairman of the fourteen-member Board of Mayor and Aldermen, the city's legislative body. Each of Manchester's twelve wards elects a single alderman, and two additional at-large members are elected citywide. [[Jay Ruais]] is the current [[List of mayors of Manchester, New Hampshire|mayor]]. The mayor also serves as the chair of the board of school committee. Like the board of aldermen, the school board has twelve members elected by ward and two at-large members. The school board is not a city department; rather, it is a school district coterminous with the city, which obtains financing from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. In the [[New Hampshire Senate]], Manchester is represented by three state senators: * [[Keith Murphy]] (Republican-District 16): includes Manchester Ward 1 * [[Donna Soucy]] (Democrat-District 18): Wards 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 * [[Lou D'Allesandro]] (Democrat District 20): Wards 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12 In the [[Executive Council of New Hampshire|New Hampshire Executive Council]], Manchester is included within the 4th District and is represented by Republican [[Ted Gatsas]],<ref>{{Cite web| url=https://www.nh.gov/council/districts/d4/index.htm| title=District 4: Councilor Theodore L. Gatsas| publisher=State of New Hampshire| access-date=January 10, 2019}}</ref> the city's former mayor. Manchester is included within [[New Hampshire's 1st congressional district]] and is represented by Democrat [[Chris Pappas (American politician)|Chris Pappas]]. At the presidential level, Manchester leans Democratic. [[George W. Bush]] narrowly carried the city by 170 votes in [[2004 United States presidential election in New Hampshire|2004]], but no other presidential elections since then have been nearly as close. In [[2020 United States presidential election in New Hampshire|2020]], [[Joe Biden]] won the highest percentage of the vote in Manchester since [[1964 United States presidential election in New Hampshire|1964]]. {| class="wikitable" style="float:left; margin:1em; font-size:95%;" |+ Manchester city vote<br /> by party in presidential elections<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sos.nh.gov/elections/elections/election-results/|title=Election Results|website=sos.nh.gov}}</ref> |- style="background:lightgrey;" !
