Robert Reynolds "Renny" Cushing (born July 20, 1952) is a Democratic member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives from the town of Hampton. First elected in 1996, Cushing currently represents Rockingham District 21. He has served several non-consecutive terms (previously representing Rockingham Districts 14, 15 and 22).[1] Cushing graduated from Winnacunnet High School in Hampton. He has served as the elected moderator of the Winnacunnet School District since 1993.

Cushing's first foray into civic engagement was in the 1970s when he was involved with the Clamshell Alliance, an anti-nuclear coalition that opposed construction of the Seabrook Station Nuclear Power Plant in nearby Seabrook, New Hampshire. In June 1988, Cushing's 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.

During the 2019-20 legislative session, Cushing led the effort in the New Hampshire General Court to approve legislation abolishing the death penalty,[4] including successful votes in the House and Senate to override Governor Chris Sununu's veto.[5]

On November 19, 2020 New Hampshire House Democrats chose Cushing to lead them during the 2021-22 legislative session of the General Court.[6]
