The New Hampshire Republican Party has announced that its state committee will meet in mid-January to select a chairman.

Yesterday, in an email to Republicans, Chairman Fergus Cullen said that the meeting will be held on Jan. 17 at Bedford High School.

Over the past four weeks, 14 caucuses have been held to elect almost 500 members to the state committee, which will then vote for party chair. Currently, only former Gov. John H. Sununu has announced his intention to run for chairman of the New Hampshire Republicans.

Previously, the meeting had been scheduled for Jan. 31 in Bow, but several grassroots activists complained that the meeting would prevent the new chairman from being able to attend the Republican National Committee meeting, where national Republicans will elect a chairman. The national Republicans will elect their chairman at a meeting scheduled for January 28-31.
