John Matthew Sellers is an American Republican party politician who represents the Grafton 18th district in the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

He is strongly against public education and is an advocate of homeschooling and school choice. A former member of the Newfound Area School District budgeting committee from 2020 to 2023,[4] he has suggested that "parents get their children out of the public government schools",[5] claimed public schools are "following the path of Hitler",[6] and stated that the "only things kids learn in [public] schools involve porn and demons".[7] He has been considered to be a conspiracy theorist[8] and has often quoted Hitler, Vladimir Lenin, and Joseph Stalin.[6][9][10]
