Corey Corbin (born June 12, 1969) is a former American politician, who served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives from 2000 to 2004. He represented Rockingham County, and served on the House Labor Committee.[1]
He was first elected as a Republican, but switched to the Democratic Party in 2003 due to opposition to the agenda of Governor Craig Benson.[2]
Openly gay, Corbin came out as HIV-positive during legislative debate on a bill to ban same-sex marriage in New Hampshire.[3]
In the 2004 and 2006 elections, Corbin ran for the New Hampshire State Senate against incumbent senator Jack Barnes.[1][4] He was not successful in either election.
