Harold E. Stassen Series I © 1998 N.H. State Library


Stassen is the honorary grandfather of the NH primary, having campaigned here seven times in half a century. He ran here first in 1948, before the present primary system began. He ran six more times to express his views or lest someone would otherwise run unopposed. He called New Hampshire "The Town Hall of America."


"New Hampshire is a place where the forums are open so you have a chance to reach the people, and the people give consideration."
