CONCORD, N.H.―For Republican National Committeeman, the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire is endorsing State Rep. Jordan Ulery, a small businessman, committed volunteer and strong advocate for liberty-minded conservative Republicanism.

Ulery, who is running to complete the four-year term vacated by Sean Mahoney, said that the role of the National Committeeman is not to raise money for a specific candidate, but to encourage support for the party and its platform. Rather than pursue a squishy Republicanism using a broad-spectrum philosophy, Ulery said he would bring Independents and some Democrats under the “big tent” by convincing them how liberty-minded, conservative Republican principles will help restore the country’s economic and social success.

“Voters in New Hampshire and across the nation sent a clear message at the polls this fall that they did not like the solutions Democrats brought to the table, so the idea often promoted by national pundits that the Republican Party has to ‘move to the center’ to succeed is just absurd,” said Andrew Hemingway, chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. “Rep. Jordan Ulery knows that a strong, principled GOP will help improve the economy, restore the constitution and heal our cultural divisions. Not only that, he knows that a principled party will attract new members, improve fundraising efforts and win elections, and that’s why we’re endorsing him for Republican National Committeeman.”

Once elected, Ulery said he would get to work right away with newly elected Party Chairman Reince Priebus to improve the national party’s image and raise a targeted $400 million for the 2012 election. Such fundraising would easily erase the $20 million debt accumulated under Michael Steele, along with the disillusionment that came with it. As a small business owner committed to Republican principles, Ulery knows how to connect with potential donors who abandoned the RNC in the 2010 elections and bring them back into the national fold.

Ulery has also said he would be an ardent supporter of the First In the Nation Primary for New Hampshire. He said he has a good relationship with Secretary of State Bill Gardner and will use his extensive knowledge of state history to assist in that effort whenever it is threatened by Democrats or jealous Republican states.

As a frequent attendant at American Legislative Exchange Council events—trips he said he has self funded—Ulery said he has built a network of like-minded RNC members in every corner of the country who are also legislators.

“New Hampshire and the United States will clearly benefit from a GOP National Committeeman who can promote New Hampshire Republicanism across the nation,” Hemingway said.

New Hampshire has three Republican National Committee members. If Ulery wins, he would serve with Committeewoman Phyllis Woods and the New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman. Earlier this month, the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire endorsed Jack Kimball for that position.

About The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire

RLCNH, a state chapter of the national Republican Liberty Caucus, was launched in December 2004 to promote and advance traditional Republican Party values, such as limited government, low taxes and low spending, individual liberty, personal responsibility, free enterprise and loyalty to the U.S. and N.H. constitutions.

HUDSON, N.H.—State Rep. Jordan Ulery, a champion of equal rights, open government and civic interaction, would bring his respect for others and the New Hampshire values of fiscal and personal responsibility to the Republican National Committee if state committee members choose him on Jan. 22 to replace the national committeeman seat vacated by Sean Mahoney.

Ulery, who is serving his fourth term in the N.H. House on the distinguished Ways and Means Committee, said he would bring to the Republican National Committee the same “no-nonsense approach” to problem solving that he hopes will help lift the state from its current fiscal quagmire.

“New Hampshire is the birthplace of the GOP, and New Hampshire values are what’s needed at the table in Washington right now,” Ulery said. “Instead of being a participant in the business-as-usual politics of the national GOP, I would be a voice for New Hampshire Republicans. I would bring Granite Staters’ concerns and desires to the national convention and help promote like-minded conservative candidates for major office positions in the coming years.”

Recently, Ulery has been outspoken about the need for all Americans to participate together in civil society, decrying the segregation that comes from population segments that live apart because of their separate language and culture. He said he would bring his sense of respect for all people with him to Washington to help unite today’s Americans for the good of the country.

“Historically, segregation has discouraged community collaboration and fueled intolerance, which often results in groups of second-class citizens that are simply left behind,” Ulery said. “It’s important for us to recognize this problem and encourage increased communication with members of these populations, so at least we can stimulate a cross-cultural exchange. Eventually, we can help these populations assimilate into our culture and use our language so they can fully participate in civil society and reach their highest level of potential success.”

Because of Ulery’s sentiments of justice for all and equality under the law, he has recently drawn public ire from some Democrats, who misrepresented his comments in an effort to drive division within the diverse communities of the state. Ulery said the Democrats’ attack is a clear sign that he is not a traditional career politician who will advance the political machinery that has so far divided the nation. In fact, it shows the Democrats are worried about his potential success and what it might mean for the people of New Hampshire. In fact, upon Ulery’s election to national committeeman, New Hampshire would be sending a voice for the common man.

In his capacity as state representative, Ulery is working on more than 20 bills that capture the Republican mission to lift people up. In general, his bills encourage government oversight, improve revenue forecasting, reduce the cost of government, modernize government procedures, improve private health care coverage, respect veterans, strengthen the constitution, protect personal privacy, ensure consumer protections, secure parental rights, benefit traditional marriage and reform family law. Ulery hopes to bring many of these sentiments with him to Washington.

At the Republican State Committee Meeting on Jan. 22 in Derry, Ulery will ask state committee members to elect him to the national committeeman position to serve the rest of Sean Mahoney’s four-year term through 2012. Mahoney resigned during this year’s campaign. The winner will serve with National Committeewoman Phyllis Woods and either Jack Kimball or Juliana Bergeron, who are competing for the State GOP Party Chairman position. Each state has three posts on the Republican National Committee, which develops and promotes the national Republican platform, coordinates fund raising and election strategy and organizes the Republican National Convention, which is when the party nominates the GOP presidential candidate.

About Rep. Jordan Ulery

State Rep. Jordan Ulery is currently serving his fourth term as a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives from Hillsborough County District 27—the towns of Hudson, Litchfield and Pelham. He sits on the Committee on Ways and Means, which is responsible for managing state revenue. In his career, he has worked on insurance investigations for nearly 20 years. Since 1994, Rep. Ulery has been a member of the New Hampshire League of Investigators’ Board of Government. In 1998 and 2001, he received the President’s Award for Service to the profession in New Hampshire. Prior to working in fraud investigation, Ulery was one of the  paramedics in New Hampshire. In other public efforts, Ulery has worked to keep public records open and accessible by strongly supporting the Right to Know law in New Hampshire. In 2004, Ulery was appointed to the New Hampshire Supreme Court Task Force on Access, which was led by New Hampshire Supreme Court Chief Justice John Broderick.

CONCORD, N.H.―Because a New Hampshire GOP Chairman’s first duty is to rally support for the party's agenda and its candidates, the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire endorses grassroots favorite Jack Kimball to lead the party toward future victories that build on this year's electoral triumph.

Kimball, who ran a strong, principled campaign for New Hampshire governor, built a grassroots support network of Tea Party activists, 9-12ers, constitutionalists, movement conservatives, libertarians and independents not normally involved in politics. Ultimately, these activists were instrumental in building support for Republicans across the state who are grounded in the state’s founding ideals of limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility and free enterprise.

“It will be necessary for the next GOP chairman to sustain and reenergize the grassroots support network that propelled Republicans to victory this year,” said Andrew Hemingway, chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. “In order to do this, the next chairman will also have to remain vigilant, reminding the Republicans currently serving in office why the people of New Hampshire elected them.”

Republicans, who benefited from voter unrest with Democratic policies and a yearning for principled leadership among liberty-minded activists, picked up 122 seats in the House and nine in the Senate for veto-proof majorities of 298-102 and 19-5. The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire had endorsed 106 of the winning candidates, and endorses Jack Kimball with them in mind.

“We believe there is no one better than Jack Kimball, a competent and proven leader, to capitalize on this year’s energy and ensure that it fuels the restorative change that this state desperately needs,” Hemingway said.

Kimball, who announced on Dec. 21 his desire to succeed former Gov. John Sununu as chairman of the state Republican Party, has pledged that he will continue the outgoing chairman’s established constituent services and work to tie in the new activist Republicans vital to the election victory. Like Sununu, Kimball has said it is imperative that all Republicans remain cohesive for the good of the party and the state.

"Gov. Sununu has shown how a true leader can bring people together for the good of everyone involved,” Hemingway said. “Jack Kimball’s experience gives us confidence that he will add to the momentum Sununu is leaving behind and build a strong party moving forward.”

After his honorable discharge from a decorated Navy career, Kimball built a one-man operation into a thriving small business with more than 60 employees, 80 loyal customers and $1 million in revenue.

About The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire

RLCNH, a state chapter of the national Republican Liberty Caucus, was launched in December 2004 to promote and advance traditional Republican Party values, such as limited government, low taxes and spending, individual liberty, personal responsibility, free enterprise and loyalty to the U.S. and N.H. constitutions.

CONCORD, N.H.―A group of principled New Hampshire legislators has organized a Natural Rights Caucus to ensure that an effective freshman class can work with senior members to advance legislation that guarantees equal treatment under the law and defends individual rights to life, liberty and property.

The non-partisan Natural Rights Caucus, which will be narrowly focused on laws that advance the principles in Part I, Article 2 of the New Hampshire Constitution, held its first official meeting on Saturday, Nov. 27 in Concord to help freshmen members learn how to be successful in the House and Senate. Former Rep. Don Gorman, a four-term House member, led the training meeting that attracted a committed group of about 20 state legislators during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

“It was very rewarding to lead a group of legislators who truly want to do what’s best for the people of New Hampshire,” Gorman said. “The dialogue was superior during the training session, and I’m confident this caucus is going to be influential in the state Legislature.”

To be clear, the Natural Rights Caucus will focus first on training its freshmen members leading up to the 2011-2012 legislative session. Training will include lessons on proper decorum and rules of order, how to provide efficient testimony in committees, how to build effective coalitions, and how to avoid being intimidated or misled by senior members, agencies or lobbyists.

Members of the Natural Rights Caucus will then use their training to work as a voting bloc during the session. The caucus will be dedicated to preserving the rights of all New Hampshire citizens as articulated in Part I, Article 2 of the New Hampshire Constitution: “All men have certain natural, essential and inherent rights, among which are, the enjoying and defending life and liberty; acquiring, possessing, and protecting property; and in a word, of seeking and obtaining happiness. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged on account of race, creed, color, sex or national origin.”

The Natural Rights Caucus was founded last week by Representatives-elect Seth Cohn (Canterbury), JR Hoell (Dunbarton), George Lambert (Litchfield), Andrew J. Manuse (Derry), Daniel Tamburello (Londonderry) and Mark Warden (Goffstown). Former Rep. Don Gorman will be an ex-officio member of the caucus who will serve as its legislative counselor.

“Given the large group of freshmen legislators the people sent to Concord this year, we believe there is a unique opportunity to quickly build an effective voting bloc that can truly leave ‘politics as usual’ in the past and move the people’s agenda forward,” said Rep.-elect Andrew J. Manuse, spokesman for the Natural Rights Caucus. “The great citizens of the state of New Hampshire want a government that protects their constitutional rights, not one that tramples them. It is our job in the Natural Rights Caucus to make sure every citizen’s life, liberty and property is equally protected under the law.”

About The Natural Rights Caucus
The Natural Rights Caucus, formed in 2010, is a bipartisan, principle-driven coalition within the New Hampshire House and Senate committed to supporting legislation that adheres to the state constitution, defends individual rights to life, liberty and property, and ensures equal treatment under the law.

CONCORD, N.H.―The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire strongly urges the election of Rep. Bill O’Brien for Speaker of the House of Representatives during the Republican Caucus meeting on Nov. 18. A House Speaker O’Brien would give all representatives a voice and move the state GOP and the state as a whole in a new direction that responds to the will of the people.

“To maximize Republican impact over the next two years, we must have leadership in the state House that is not only committed to traditional Republican principles, but is also able to unite a majority in the House behind those principles of limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility and free enterprise,” said Andrew Hemingway, chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. “No one will get that job done better than Rep. Bill O’Brien, who will effectively repair the New Hampshire Advantage through a focus on the common goals of the GOP majority.”

Voters elected 298 Republicans to fill three-quarters of the seats in the New Hampshire House of Representatives on Nov. 2, sending a strong message that they believe common sense Republican principles will help promote jobs and economic opportunity, fix health care with free market solutions, and empower parents and local communities to manage their own future. It is incumbent on elected state representatives to listen to the people and ensure that a principled agenda governs the State House by electing Rep. Bill O’Brien as speaker. The people did not send Republicans to Concord to promote a moderate, conciliatory agenda, which in the past has led to GOP defeats, Hemingway said.

The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire also endorses Rep. Bill O’Brien for Speaker because:

• He excels in long-term strategic thinking, which is how politics should be approached.

• He is an approachable, warm person who can work with many types of people, including those who disagree with him.

• He has a clear, conceptual vision for a thriving, prosperous New Hampshire in the future, including a plan of how to get from where the state is now to where it needs to be.

• He is a consistent lawmaker, who will not violate principle for political expediency.

• He has a clean political record, which will keep Democrats from derailing the Republican agenda.

• Of the four State House Republicans seeking the speaker position, only Rep. O’Brien has a 100 percent rating on the House Republican Alliance (HRA) “report card” for the 2009-2010 Legislative session. The HRA score card measures the level at which state representatives support the principles laid out in the State GOP Platform.

“Like our nation, our state is facing monumental fiscal problems brought on by irresponsible overspending by Democrats as well as some Republicans during the past four years,” said attorney Tim Condon, an executive board member of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. “There is now a general recognition that the over-spending has got to stop. Bill O’Brien is a leader with new ideas, new solutions, and new strategies to make that happen. With Bill O’Brien as the Speaker, New Hampshire will finally have real hope and change.”

About The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire
RLCNH, a state chapter of the national Republican Liberty Caucus, was launched in December 2004 to promote and advance traditional Republican Party values, such as limited government, low taxes and spending, individual liberty, personal responsibility, free enterprise and loyalty to the U.S. and N.H. constitutions.

CONCORD, N.H.―The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire is excited and hopeful for the state’s future after last week’s general election swept 80 percent of its endorsed post-primary candidates into the State House, where they will advance common-sense principles in the “Live Free or Die” state.

“The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire was happy to help its endorsed candidates win their elections through multifaceted campaign support, media coverage, targeted mailings and election-day volunteerism in both their primary and general elections,” said Andrew Hemingway, chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. “Thanks to this unprecedented effort by the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire and other conservative and libertarian groups throughout the state, New Hampshire now has an extraordinary number of elected Republicans committed to the principles that made our state and country great.”

Before the primary, the Republican Liberty Caucus endorsed 153 candidates, including one executive councilor candidate, 10 state senator candidates and 142 state representative candidates. Of the 153 candidates, 134 of them or 88 percent, made it past the primary. With 107 endorsed candidates winning their elections on Nov. 2, that means 70 percent of the candidates the Republican Liberty Caucus originally endorsed made it into office. Of those candidates, one will be an executive councilor, seven will be state senators and 99 will be state representatives (Download a PDF to see who they are).

While the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire is certainly excited about the victories of its endorsed candidates, Hemingway said he acknowledges other liberty-minded Republicans who didn’t seek endorsements also won their elections. Endorsed RLCNH Republicans make up at least one quarter of the House and one third of the Senate, but the House and Senate also comprise many more conservative and libertarian Republicans.

“We hope Democrats and moderate Republicans recognize that the people of New Hampshire strongly supported a return to the principles of limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility and free enterprise in this election, and we hope these elected officials will commit to using these principles to do the people’s business,” Hemingway said. “It is our sincere hope that the Republican caucus overall will use these founding principles to promote jobs and economic opportunity, fix health care through free-market reforms in New Hampshire, and empower parents and local communities with common sense laws.”

Above and beyond the success of libertarian and conservative Republicans, the people of New Hampshire elected five of five Republicans to the Executive Council, 298 Republicans for 298 of 400 seats in the House of Representatives and 19 Republicans for 19 of 24 seats in the State Senate.

“We know that it will take a lot of work to unwind the mess that the Democrats have left for us, but the RLCNH is committed to continuing support for its endorsed candidates while they do the hard work of governing,” Hemingway said. “The Republican Liberty Caucus will continue to offer support and ideas to endorsed candidates as the organization prepares for their re-election campaigns in two years.”

BEDFORD, N.H.—The same non-toxic Just Naturals aromatherapy products used by members of The Today Show cast and attendees of the 2009 Emmy Nomination Event are now conveniently available in Bedford, N.H.

In a sign of economic growth in southern New Hampshire, Just Naturals & Company Owner Karen Girardo will open a flagship store at 176 S. River Road in Bedford (about one-half mile south of the Bedford Mall off Rte. 101). The 3,000-square-foot Just Naturals store will not only offer an expanded line of its illustrious aromatherapy products, it will bring the same all-natural cleaning, laundry, bath & body, skin-care and pet-care lines now sold at the company’s Amherst location. Just Naturals will continue to serve Salzburg Square customers in a 600-square-foot boutique (292 Rte. 101 in Amherst).

“So many of my first-time customers have come back to visit again and again, because they notice how my locally made, chemical-free products not only work but also improve the way they feel,” said Girardo, a Bedford resident. “While our Salzburg Square location is geared toward such destination shoppers, I wanted to open a second location to give Greater Manchester-area customers a convenient place to buy their healthy, home-care and personal-care products.”

To celebrate the store’s expansion to Bedford, Girardo will hold an open house featuring hors d’oeuvres, a wine tasting and a gift basket drawing from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 13. Anyone attending the Open House will also receive 5 percent off their Just Natural product purchases. During the Open House, Bedford residents will receive an additional 5 percent off their purchases, establishing what will become an annual “Bedford Good Neighbors Day” event, Girardo said.

Girardo said she hopes her new store will become a ”community wellness epicenter.”

In designing the layout of her new boutique, Girardo created a space for health and wellness experts and leading authors to host educational seminars and workshops as well as an area for product development. Beth Lambert, author of “A Compromised Generation: The Epidemic of Chronic Illness in America’s Children,” will be the first guest lecturer at 6:45 p.m. on Nov. 20. in the new shop. Girardo or her highly knowledgeable Just Naturals’ staff are always available to explain the benefits of green cleaning and aromatherapy or give advice on the store’s many health-conscious products.

“The exact issues we hope our educational series will warn people about have fueled an enormous demand for our all-natural products made from pure essential oils,” Girardo said. “Parents of young children and people who suffer from asthma, allergies or respiratory conditions are becoming more aware of the dangers of chemicals in their cleaning and personal-care products. It’s really amazing how many people not diagnosed with these issues tell me how much better they feel after going with Just Naturals.”

Because of the expansion to Bedford, Girardo has added staff to help her manage the day-to-day operations of the business, a positive sign of economic growth in the local community.

Mike Brunelle, chairman of Queen City Democrats

Brunelle said first that unemployment in New Hampshire is below the national average by 40 percent. New Hampshire’s unemployment rate was 5.8 percent in July and the U.S. unemployment rate was 9.7 percent in the same month, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“In general, everything is going to be focused on jobs and the economy and who voters trust to move our state and country forward,” he said. “All you have to do is look at our record.”

He credited government programs such as NH Working as reasons for Democratic success.

“The approach we need to take is to balance protecting the needs of our most vulnerable citizens while keeping taxes low and making the tough choices,” he said.

Cliff Hurst, chairman of Manchester Republican Committee

Hurst said jobs may be the topic of discussion, but only the private sector can create good jobs.

“I find people most concerned about good, quality jobs,” he said. “The way you stimulate job growth is by electing fiscally conservative people who value looking at the issues and lowering taxes on businesses, which will give businesses a chance to hire more people and create the jobs.”

Hurst said the state Legislature keeps talking about revenue shortfalls as it spends more money. In the last four years, as governors nationwide cut their budgets by 5 percent on average, the Democratic-led Legislature increased spending by 24 percent from $9.3 billion to $11.5 billion. The pending deficit is about $800 million.

“Our problem is we want to keep increasing revenue because we’re spending so much money, but we can’t raise any more money,” Hurst said. “We’re going to have to learn to live with less in the state government. We really have to be people of our word when we say we want less government, less spending and lower taxes.”

Republican and Democratic candidates will justify different ideas to stimulate the economy and job growth leading up to General Election, and it is clear that voters will have a real choice between two paths for the Granite State on Nov. 2—if they can sift through all the noise.

In the meantime, voters will have the perennial “pleasure” of watching, listening to and reading about competing plans to “create jobs” and “save the economy.” They will be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information. They will be annoyed as political machinists drown the airwaves and flood the Web with news about incumbents’ incompetence or challengers’ “corrupt plan” to help the latest scapegoat. They will roll their eyes as one ad after another boosts mere men and women into apparent demigods.

Perhaps the façade will be too much for some voters, who will tune out and resort to the candidate of their fathers’ party on Election Day. Others may dive right into battle to defend their candidate and tear at their neighbors’ dignity to win a draining debate—neither will bend from their candidates of choice. A third group of potential voters may be so tired of the battle that they decide to stay home or vote for a candidate that simply will not win.

All three paths to the voting booth fail to consider what is real behind this whole political exercise: We the People are responsible for the representatives, senators and governors we send to Washington and Concord. It is our job to control our government by electing people who will serve us, instead of their own best interests. It is our job to elect people who will honor the compact that binds our government to its service; namely, the U.S. and N.H. Constitutions. It is our job to ensure these servants do not continue to take more of our money to spend it on more goods and services that normally would be handled by private enterprise, while padding as many connected pockets as they can along the way.

The true path to the voting booth should be paved with honest debate, a factual understanding of history and the guiding light of well-reasoned principles.

The Tea Party movement has risen from a force beneath the surface of the American psyche. Americans, especially those from New Hampshire, have always known in their hearts that they were born to be free; they were born to make their way in the world as well as they could, and then they could keep whatever benefit they received from their hard work. They have always known that they would have to live with the consequences of their mistakes, but knew that they had it within themselves to rise above whatever adversity came their way. They also knew that their government was limited so it could do no harm; it was there to protect their rights to pursue their dreams without anyone else getting in the way.

The America we know is close to a memory, and the strong New Hampshire mindset that is keeping that memory alive is at risk of fading away.

Government, at both the state and federal level, has grown to be a consuming force in our way of life. It has become a force that benefits a small group of insiders, then placates the majority by rewarding their laziness. It punishes people who try to pursue their own happiness through hard work by taking the fruit of their labor. It rewards the elected officials who play along with this scheme by inviting them into the club.

The Tea Party movement recognizes the pervasiveness of corruption in government. It recognizes that government officials and their staff make more money than they do, that these officials are now playing by their own set of rules and that those rules can change on a whim to benefit the government, regardless of how they affect those who aren’t in the club. It recognizes that government spending and debt has grown to support this ruling class without regard to how such recklessness affects the economy. It has said “ENOUGH!”: We the People are simply not going to stand by and watch our government reduce our children to servitude.

Despite the fact that every candidate—Republican or Democrat—will tell you that he or she wants to help create jobs and stimulate the economy, there is only one type of candidate who will actually succeed: The candidate who knows that Americans, left to their own devices, will always be more prosperous, happier and free. Please vote for those candidates!

CONCORD, N.H.―Now that all the dust has settled following the state’s primary races, the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire can announce that 134 of its 153 endorsed candidates, or 88 percent, were nominated as Republican candidates and will appear on their respective general election ballots on Nov. 2. Of the 94 endorsed candidates with a contested primary, 74 of them, or 79 percent, earned the support of voters in their districts.

“It thoroughly pleases me that voters responded so well to our candidates’ Common Sense agenda, which relies on the core American principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual liberty and personal responsibility,” said Andrew Hemingway, chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. “Now that we’ve achieved such success in the primary, it is time for all Republican nominees to work together in a concerted effort to defeat Democrats on Nov. 2. It is important for Republicans to win substantial majorities in both the New Hampshire House and the New Hampshire Senate so the ideas we’ve worked so hard to promote in the primary can come to life.”

As part of an effort to promote Republican unity going into the general election, the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire will give all 409 Republicans running for state elected positions access to its candidate support Web site. The caucus’s candidate support Web site offers prepared campaign materials, networking opportunities and a shared agenda, called Common Sense for New Hampshire, which will help build momentum in the Legislature for laws that promote jobs and economic opportunity, fix health care in New Hampshire and empower parents and local communities.

“We hope this effort to help all Republicans will reinforce the idea that primaries are the time for Republicans to promote their preferred candidates,” Hemingway said. “Once the primaries are over, it is imperative that Republican voters and candidates band together to support all the GOP candidates running for office as a group.”

Currently, there are 379 Republicans running for positions in the State House of Representatives, 24 Republicans running for the State Senate, five Republicans running for the Executive Council and one Republican, John Stephen, running for governor.

About The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire

RLCNH, a state chapter of the national Republican Liberty Caucus, was launched in December 2004 to promote and advance traditional Republican Party values, such as limited government, low taxes and spending, individual liberty, personal responsibility, free enterprise and loyalty to the U.S. and N.H. constitutions.
