From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Hansen is a Republican member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, representing Amherst. He was first elected in 2010. He was defeated in his fourth re-election bid in 2018.[1]

In 2013, Hansen referred to women as "vaginas" in an e-mail to his House colleagues, as part of a discussion concerning the stand-your-ground law. After a widespread outcry, Hansen initially said the controversy had been "blown out of proportion", but later apologized for his choice of language.[2]
