William M. Marsh (born March 28, 1958) is an American politician formerly serving as a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives from the Carroll 8th district. He was first elected to the State House in 2016 as a Republican.

Early life

Marsh was born in Pennsylvania and he graduated from Shady Side Academy in 1976. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1979 and Dartmouth Medical School in 1982.

Career

On September 14, 2021, Marsh, an ophthalmologist and the Brookfield health officer, switched parties from Republican to Democratic because his Republican colleagues had organized a rally against the Biden administration's new vaccine mandates (see COVID-19 vaccination in the United States § September 2021).

In February 2022, Marsh announced that he was going to retire from the State House in order to challenge Jeb Bradley in the New Hampshire Senate.
