CONCORD- In an afternoon press conference, New Hampshire GOP Chairman Jack Kimball and Iowa GOP Chairman Matt Strawn spoke about the bond that unites their states’ traditional early nominating contests.
 
After the conference, Chairman Kimball released the following statement.


“I stand here today with my counterpart, Iowa Republican Party Chairman Matt Strawn to tell you we are unified by our states’ common goals to do whatever is necessary to enforce the rules of the RNC and maintain the traditional roles of Iowa and New Hampshire in the nominating process.  It is important for our Presidential candidates to have that face to face contact with the voters in Iowa and New Hampshire because they really do the vetting for the country.  New Hampshire will hold the first-in-the-nation primary and all that matters at the end of the day is we as Republicans will stand together to reject the Obama agenda."
