As the races for leadership positions in the New Hampshire Republican Party continue to heat up, the current Area 5 Vice-Chair announced a big endorsement for her reelection:

“I still remember the first time that I met Jade Wood at a Belknap County GOP Meeting. She was kind and welcoming as she confidently led the meeting, and she impressed me as unapologetically conservative. Jade is exactly the type of leader that we need to help grow the NH GOP and inspire hardworking Granite Staters to join our team. Please join me in supporting Jade Wood for Area 5 Regional Vice Chair.”
