Kyle J. Tasker (born June 6, 1985) is an American politician who served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. He courted controversy a number of times while in office, including an incident where he dropped a gun during a committee meeting and one where he joked on Facebook about domestic violence.[1][2] In 2016, during his third term, he was arrested on drug possession and sex crime charges and resigned a few days later.[3] It was later reported by the New Hampshire Attorney General's office that he sold marijuana to a number of his fellow lawmakers.[4] While released on bail, he was involved in a car accident and was rearrested for driving under the influence.[5]
