Nearly 450 members gathered in Bedford for the purpose of electing officers of the party. In addition to the election of Horn, JP Marzullo was elected Vice Chair, Robert Scott re-elected Treasurer, Eileen Smiglowski Asst. Treasurer, Diane Bitter Secretary, and Jeff Newman Asst Secretary. Area vice chairs elected were: Area 1: Vicky Schwaegler, Area 2: Jim Coburn, Area 3:  Mark Vincent, Area 4; Rob Kasper, and Area 5: Alan Glassman. 

“I am excited to be working with a diverse and dedicated group of individuals to advance our cause and rebuild our party,” said Horn. “We will begin immediately to get to work and activate those willing to serve to build an even more vibrant Republican Party.”

There was also a tribute to to outgoing Party Chairman Wayne MacDonald with awards from Sen. Kelly Ayotte and announcement of the GOP’s statewide Norris Cotton Award.

“Few people in our party have served as Wayne MacDonald has,” said Horn “Our party is forever grateful for his leadership and commitment to our party.”

What we have here is a tea-publican and we will have more Ovde's & O'Brien's. The republicans voted to further go down hill, instead of a fresh approach. Sorry but nothing new from the GOP.

Calling oneself a government official is libelous. Have you paid your taxes, "selectman" ?

Horn supports school vouchers,like any other voucher, will lead to privatizing more schools, only affordable for the rich and destroy our education system.Vouchers don't keep up with inflation;simple math.She wants to push for more off shore drilling because she's OK with our dependency on oil, build more refineries and more nuclear power plants,instead of focussing on other types of cleaner energy,she worked for the big Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance companies;therefore making health care more affordable is definitely not her top interest, and finally,Horn loves Sarah Palin. Jennifer Horn: "This is a great choice and America should be proud. As governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin has been a strong voice for the people; tackling high taxes, government waste and corruption.She has been a leader in the effort to reform what is wrong with the way government works.Sarah Palin embodies the American woman today. As a former sportscaster,and both a mom and Governor of Alaska, she has shown that we can break through the glass ceiling while we are reminded that America continues to be the place of opportunity... By choosing such an articulate, experienced woman for his running mate, John McCain has proven once again that he is the right choice for America. It's a strong, solid ticket that each and every voter in New Hampshire can be proud to support. As a fellow mother of 5, I applaud the choice of Sarah Palin."

Scool vouchers, much like introducing phony science, creationism/Intelligent Design" is part of the Republican Party's crusade to inflict ignorance and suffering on as many people as possible.

The public school system is responsible for educating and advancing multitudes of immigrants and poor people, lifting them to a prosperous middle class for over many, many generations. That is an anthema to the surly elite who run the Republican Party. Therefore, the voucher system is a way to starve public education of badly needed funding, thereby spreading misery to as many people as possible who desire and want to lift themselves from ignorance an poverty.

Republicans love ignorance and hate a public school system that has helped fight ignorance for 200 years in America.
