A letter to the State Committee

Dear fellow State Committee member,

You do the work that wins New Hampshire. You knock the doors, recruit the candidates and hold your town committees together. You deserve a state party that works as hard as you do.

I have been on the front lines with all of you: from first getting elected at 18 in 2012, to 2020, when we were the only state in the nation that flipped our legislative branch, to 2024, when we beat the Democrats on same-day registration, to driving awareness and turnout for the property tax cap. From the State House to town hall, Lincoln Day dinners to parades, knocking on doors and phone banking, I’ve experienced practically every role and job our party has.

The State Committee meets once a year. The Executive Committee meets every month. As Chairman, I will invite every one of you to those monthly meetings, put the budget in your hands before the annual meeting and send you a report every month. You will never read about your party’s business after the fact.

I will build the NHGOP into a professional, year-round operation: staff in every county, a Republican in every local race, real tools for every candidate and a party that owns its own data. We will protect First in the Nation and back every Republican nominee in November.

I’m asking for your vote on January 9.

Joe SweeneyCandidate for Chairman, New Hampshire Republican State Committee

Joe’s plan for the NHGOP

A party that works 365 days a year.

Elections are won long before October. Joe will run the NHGOP as a professional operation that is open every day, building every day and fighting for New Hampshire every day.

Plank 1 of 8

Members first

You elect the Chairman. You should run the party, not read about it afterward.

The State Committee meets once a year. The Executive Committee meets every month. State Committee members should see that work as it happens, have the facts before they vote and get a Chairman who answers to them.

What Joe will do

  • First 100 daysInvite every State Committee member to the monthly Executive Committee meetings. Members can attend and see the party's business firsthand; the Executive Committee still votes.
  • First 100 daysSend every State Committee member the party budget and finance report well before the annual State Committee meeting, with time to read it.
  • First 100 daysSend a monthly report to members: money raised, money spent, staff activity and what is coming next.
  • First 100 daysOpen a bylaws review that any member can join, with proposed changes sent out well before any vote.
  • 2027 local electionsLaunch a member portal with Executive Committee agendas and minutes, reports and the member directory in one place.
  • 2027 local electionsHold Chairman's office hours in every county each year, so members never have to drive to Concord to be heard.

How you'll know

  • An invitation to every Executive Committee meeting
  • The budget arrives before the annual meeting
  • A monthly report every month
  • Office hours held in all 10 counties

Win the towns.Win New Hampshire.
