The National Committeewoman from New Hampshire acts in the role of ambassador for New Hampshire along with the National Committeeman and the State party chairman. The duties of the committeeman and committeewoman are spelled out quite clearly in our New Hampshire State Committee Bylaws under the following article:
ARTICLE III: The National Committeeman and Committeewoman
The National Committeeman and Committeewoman shall be elected by a majority vote of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee at the Republican State Committee meeting immediately prior to the Republican National Convention. Candidates at the time of the nomination need not be convention delegates to be eligible. In the event of resignation, death or incapacity of a National Committeeman or Committeewoman, the State Committee Chairman shall call and conduct a meeting of the State Committee pursuant to this Article to elect a replacement to serve until the time of the next meeting called pursuant to the first sentence of this Article. This method of election of the National Committeeman and Committeewoman shall take effect beginning in January 2004.
The National Committeeman and Committeewoman shall have the same responsibility along with the Chairman to represent New Hampshire's interest on the National Committee and to work to preserve our first in the nation primary. During all Presidential and State Primaries the Committeeman and Committeewoman must remain strictly neutral and may not publicly or privately support, assist or endorse any one candidate over another. In the event that the Committeeman or Committeewoman resigns in order to participate in a Primary, he or she will not be eligible to run for election at the immediate subsequent election of the National Committeeman or Committeewoman.
