New Hampshire Endorsements—Republicans
The Republican presidential candidates look for endorsements from
federal, statewide and local elected officials as well as former
elected officials and prominent figures. Some will be early
endorsers, some late endorsers and some non-endorsers. In 2011-12
Democracy in Action found 17 of 19 Republican state
Senators (89.4 percent) endorsed and, according to Democracy in
Action's tally, 182 of 294 state Representatives (62.9 percent).

Note. Based on past primaries, the expectation is that over half of Republican state reps. will make an endorsement. Others choose not to endorse or in some instances may be precluded from making an endorsement. For example, there are state reps. who serve as chairs of their local or town Republican committees, and some town committees have by-laws that require the chair to show no preference.
