N.H. GOP forms finance committee
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterThe New Hampshire Republican Party has decided to reinstitute a finance committee that will help the state party raise money for the general election.
The committee will be chaired by Jim Merrill, Mitt Romney's former New Hampshire state director and currently a consultant for Devine Strategies.
"This is a critical election for New Hampshire Republicans, and it's important that we engage and invigorate all facets of the party, from our grassroots activists to our major donors," said Merrill in a press release.
The party has not had a committee since 2006, since then it has been based on an event-by-event basis.
The committee will have 33 members including New Hampshire Republican Chairman Fergus Cullen, political consultant Mike Dennehy, Mayor Frank Guinta (R-Manchester), former state Sen. Chuck Morse (R-Salem), Susan Duprey and former congressional candidate Jim Forsythe.
