Career

In 1993 Gorman introduced legislation that would permit banks to grant grace periods on mortgages and to revise the terms of mortgages, in order to avoid homelessness as a result of foreclosure. In the same year he drafted a bill to repeal the state's business enterprise tax. In 1994 Gorman sponsored a resolution warning of the dissolution of the United States federal government in the event of the national debt reaching $6 trillion; and sponsored legislation that would broaden the state of New Hampshire's definition of a political party to include all parties that had received three percent of the vote in an election for governor, the U.S. Congress or the Executive Council of New Hampshire.

In 1994 Gorman served as the chair of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire. In 2000 he sought the Libertarian Party's presidential nomination, which ultimately went to investment banker and 1996 nominee Harry Browne. In 2005, as the political director of the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance, Gorman led tours of the New Hampshire State House and trained members of the Free State Project in the politics of New Hampshire.
