New Hampshire’s House of Representatives may be getting a little more human next year.

A candidate who legally changed his name to human— with a lowercase “H’’ — was running against incumbent Democratic state Rep. Rose Marie Rogers in their primary.

David Montenegro changed his name to “human” in 2012. He made headlines this year when the state’s highest court ruled he could have a vanity license plate that reads COPSLIE. He had sued after the Division of Motor Vehicles said he couldn’t have the plate because it denigrated police officers.

Rogers was first elected in 2012 and represents Rochester, a city of about 30,000 residents.

However, human’s race ended in defeat. The former David Montenegro lost a primary contest to incumbent Democratic state Rep. Rose Marie Rogers by a count of 181-30.
