CONCORD, N.H.―The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire applauds the efforts of House Speaker William O’Brien and the Republican majority that is standing strong for good governance against the bullying tactics of public sector union special interest groups.

Especially respectable is the leadership of Rep. Neal Kurk of Weare and the other principled state representatives standing with his amendment to House Bill 2, which will give the state, cities and towns more leverage in their negotiations with public sector union employees. No longer will public unions be able to drag their feet in negotiations to force more money out of taxpayers’ wallets. If HB 2 passes as amended, public unions will have to come to the table with more reasonable expectations like their private sector counterparts.

“I am proud to finally watch a group of Republican legislators stand up against what might be politically expedient in order to do what’s right, despite massive amounts of pressure from the public sector unions,” said Andrew Hemingway, chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. “These Republicans ran on a set of principles about how government should be run, and by voting for a balanced budget and the accompanying policy bill with Rep. Kurk’s union contract amendment, they are standing by those principles.”

CONCORD, N.H.―For Republican National Committeeman, the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire is endorsing State Rep. Jordan Ulery, a small businessman, committed volunteer and strong advocate for liberty-minded conservative Republicanism.

“Voters in New Hampshire and across the nation sent a clear message at the polls this fall that they did not like the solutions Democrats brought to the table, so the idea often promoted by national pundits that the Republican Party has to ‘move to the center’ to succeed is just absurd,” said Andrew Hemingway, chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. “Rep. Jordan Ulery knows that a strong, principled GOP will help improve the economy, restore the constitution and heal our cultural divisions. Not only that, he knows that a principled party will attract new members, improve fundraising efforts and win elections, and that’s why we’re endorsing him for Republican National Committeeman.”

Of the 94 endorsed candidates with a contested primary, 74 of them, or 79 percent, earned the support of voters in their districts.
