NHJournal: Vice Chair MacEachern Announces Bid for NHGOP Top Job

Republican state committee Vice Chair Jim MacEachern said Monday he's a candidate for state party chairman.

"I'd like to start off by thanking Chairman Ager for his time of service to the New Hampshire Republican Party," MacEachern said in a statement.

"In November, the people of New Hampshire sent a clear message - they overwhelmingly value the conservative ideals that make New Hampshire the great place it is. To protect our majorities in the New Hampshire House and Senate, hold the Corner Office, and win U.S. Senate and congressional seats, we need a united Republican Party."

"We are at our best when we are on the same team. Make no mistake - the Democrats will be well-funded and well-organized, and we need to be united and ready to take them on. As your next NHGOP Chairman, I will ensure that we have the resources and organization to win up and down the ballot in 2026," MacEachern added.

Also on Monday, First Congressional District GOP primary candidate Hollie Noveletsky announced she's in the hunt for the vice chair position.
