CONCORD – New Hampshire Republican State Committee (NHGOP) Chairman Jennifer Horn issued the following statement on the status of New Hampshire’s First-In-The-Nation Primary:

“I am pleased to announce that New Hampshire’s First-In-The-Nation (FITN) Primary has been secured by the RNC Convention Rules Committee. During today’s meeting, no proposed rules changes were offered to eliminate the four carve-out states, including New Hampshire. We were also successful in soundly defeating the imposition of a rule that would make New Hampshire follow proportional standards. I particularly want to thank our National Committeeman, Steve Duprey, for his hard work and his steadfast commitment to our primary. Retaining our primary is a privilege that Granite State voters have earned and I am grateful that the RNC continues to trust us with this honor.”
