Robert Reynolds 'Renny' Cushing (born July 20, 1952) is a Democratic member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives from the town of Hampton, New Hampshire. First elected in 1996, Cushing currently represents Rockingham District 21. He has served several non-consecutive terms (previously representing Rockingham Districts 15 and 22).[1] Cushing graduated from Winnacunnet High School in Hampton, and his first foray into civic engagement was in the 1970's when he was involved with the Clamshell Alliance, an anti-nuclear coalition that attempted to prevent the construction of a nuclear power plant in nearby Seabrook, New Hampshire. In June of 1988, his father was murdered in his own house.[2] In years subsequent, he has become an advocate to abolish capital punishment.[3] Cushing lives in Hampton with his wife and has three adult daughters.
