From Eric Dondero:

Brendan Kelly is the Libertarian Party candidate for State House in a special election set after Labor Day. The incumbent Republican resigned after a DUI conviction. The GOP nominee for the seat is viewed as too moderate for conservative voters. Thus Kelly has been winning a great deal of support on the Right.

But the RLC in the State is not making any formal commitments in the race.

From SeaCoastonline.com "Libertarian Kelly makes bid for House in District 14" Aug. 21:

"I know there has been some talk about that," said Andrew Hemingway, chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. Hemingway said the RCLNH will make no endorsement in the race. The RCLNH endorsed Janvrin opponent Lou Garioulo of Hampton Falls in the primary, but Hemingway said there is not much enthusiasm among its members for Janvrin. "We're not going to support someone who doesn't represent our values," he said.

But the organization will not endorse Kelly. "While we have liberty-leaning principles, we are a Republican organization and won't support a third-party candidate," Hemingway said.

Editor's comment - Since the founding of the group, the RLC has stayed out of such races, as they should. Unless there is no Republican in the race. But for the record, as founder of the Republican Liberty Caucus, I formally endorse Brendan Kelly for State Rep.
