Kuster Statement on White House Primary Proposal
Washington, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02) released the following statement on the White House proposal regarding the first in the nation presidential primary:
“I’m disappointed by the White House’s decision today. New Hampshire has a long and proud tradition of hosting the first in the nation presidential primary, and our state will continue that legacy in 2024. Because of its size, geography, and political participation, New Hampshire is perfectly-situated to host the FITN primary. The Granite State gives candidates the opportunity to connect with voters one-on-one to make their case, strengthen their messaging, and allows a wide range of candidates to compete.
“Regardless of today’s events, New Hampshire will still host the first in the nation primary in accordance with our state law. The first in the nation primary cannot be granted or revoked by the DNC, and I look forward to New Hampshire continuing to host robust presidential primaries into the future.”
