Manchester, N.H.
As the November 3 election approaches, NHLA addresses claims about its endorsements and highlights the legislative records behind its candidate evaluations.
CONCORD, N.H. The New Hampshire Liberty Alliance (NHLA) has announced 143 endorsements for the November 3 General Election, including 139 House candidates and four Senate candidates across all ten New Hampshire counties. The organization is also addressing claims about the independence of its candidate evaluations.
At the heart of NHLA’s work are questions that affect everyday life: how much of their earnings residents keep, the control they have over their property, and the freedom to make decisions for themselves and their families.
As New Hampshire prepares to elect its next Legislature, NHLA’s evaluations examine candidates’ positions and voting records on issues including taxation, government spending, property rights, regulatory reform, healthcare choice and parental rights.
NHLA Reaffirms Its IndependenceNHLA is challenging descriptions of its endorsements as Free State Project endorsements or as evidence that candidates are “Free State aligned.” The organization maintains that its leadership, legislative ratings and endorsement decisions are determined independently.
NHLA Chairman Shawn Faber addressed those claims directly:
“In this election cycle, a far-left conspiracy group, along with other members of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, have purposely misconstrued the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance endorsements as being endorsed by the Free State Project or even the incorrect ‘Free State aligned.’ To simply state that a good grade by NHLA (or being on the board of NHLA) equals being a Free Stater is lazy, disingenuous and a purposeful misrepresentation of the facts.
“The New Hampshire Liberty Alliance is a completely separate organization. We were founded in November of 2003 by native Granite Staters before Free Staters even lived here. Our grades are based on our board’s work, not on any contributions, suggestions, orders, communications or any interaction with the Free State Project. In fact, our endorsements are based on our grades and other criteria, again with no influence, contributions, suggestions, orders, communications or any interaction with the Free State Project.
“We are a completely separate, independent organization. Our board members are chosen independently, without any contributions, suggestions, orders, communications or any interaction with the Free State Project. To suggest we are the ‘political arm’ of the Free State Project is complete misinformation designed to apply an incorrect label to our almost 150 endorsements to directly benefit the Democratic Party in the November elections.”
Legislative Records Behind the EndorsementsNHLA’s endorsements are based on candidates’ legislative voting records, policy positions and alignment with the organization’s principles of individual liberty and limited government.
The organization’s annual Liberty Rating allows voters to examine how current legislators have voted on bills evaluated against those principles. Candidates without legislative voting records are assessed through detailed questionnaires about their policy positions.
For NHLA, the focus remains on how candidates will represent New Hampshire residents once elected, and whether their legislative decisions reflect the principles on which they campaigned.
“Decisions made in Concord affect how much money people keep, what they can do with their property, and the choices they can make for their families,” said Rep. Henry Giasson, NHLA Political Director. “Campaign promises matter, but legislative votes tell the real story. We want people to know where their representatives stand and hold them accountable for the decisions they make.”
Every Vote CountsMidterm elections traditionally attract fewer voters than presidential elections, despite determining who will represent New Hampshire residents in the Legislature. NHLA encourages all eligible voters to participate in the November 3 election, including those in districts without an NHLA-endorsed candidate.
Voters will also have an opportunity to consider the school district tax-cap question on their local ballots. Every vote counts.
NHLA focuses its endorsements on New Hampshire state-level offices and does not endorse candidates for federal office.
The complete list of 143 endorsed candidates, including their districts and offices, is available on NHLA’s website.

It is lazy, disingenuous, and a willful misrepresentation of the facts to suggest that receiving a high grade, NHLA endorsement or serving on its board is equivalent to being a ‘Free Stater’.

BEDFORD, N.H. — A record 104 New Hampshire legislators earned an A or A+ Liberty Rating in 2026, more than double the previous year’s total, as the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance (NHLA) honored the lawmakers, activists and volunteers behind New Hampshire’s expanding liberty movement at its annual Liberty Dinner on Saturday evening.
Held at Murphy’s Taproom & Carriage House in Bedford, the annual awards gala brought together legislators, activists, volunteers, donors, and supporters from across New Hampshire to recognize outstanding service to the state’s liberty movement.
Rep. Brian Labrie was named the 2026 Legislator of the Year, the organization’s highest legislative honor. The award recognizes a legislator whose voting record, legislative leadership, and broader contribution to advancing liberty stood out during the year.
Jeff Creem received the 2026 Activist of the Year Award, recognizing his commitment, energy, and impact advancing liberty in New Hampshire.
Longtime liberty advocate Dan McGuire received the 2026 Lifetime Achievement Award, honoring his years of sustained service and contribution to the liberty movement.
Diane Pauer received the 2026 Chairman’s Award, a special recognition presented for exceptional contribution to the NHLA and the cause of liberty.
“This year’s award winners demonstrate that protecting liberty takes many forms,” said Shawn Faber. “Some sponsor legislation. Some cast difficult votes. Others research bills, organize volunteers, recruit candidates and build the movement. Tonight we recognize the people whose work helps keep New Hampshire the freest state in America.”
The NHLA also presented a series of special awards recognizing outstanding contributions during the 2025–2026 legislative session:
In addition to the award winners, dozens of legislators were recognized for earning A and A+ Liberty Ratings during the 2025–2026 legislative session.
“The people we honored tonight are proof that liberty is not standing still in New Hampshire; it is growing,” said Pedro Serra, Membership Director of the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance. “Every new member adds weight to that work. It shows legislators, candidates, and the wider public that there is a real constituency behind the cause of liberty in New Hampshire. The growth in this year’s Liberty Ratings shows that momentum is translating into results. Strength in numbers matters.”
That momentum is reflected in this year’s Liberty Rating. Compared with 2025, the number of legislators earning an A or A+ increased by 154 percent, from 41 to 104. The number earning the highest possible A+ rating also rose from 18 to 30. The Liberty Rating is widely used by voters to evaluate how consistently elected officials support individual liberty during each legislative session.
New Hampshire is the freest state in the nation, making the work of its Legislature closely watched by advocates of limited government across the country. The Liberty Rating provides an annual benchmark for measuring how consistently legislators protect and advance those principles.
For more than two decades the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance has monitored legislation and informed citizens about the voting records of state lawmakers. Its volunteer bill reviewers evaluate hundreds of bills each legislative session, producing the weekly Gold Standard and the annual Liberty Rating.

Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025, Keene, NH
Thanks to the Shire Free Church Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025 Keene edition was a roaring success despite the rain and we’re doing it again for 2026! Last year we got our Little Zoe’s Pizza to go with most paying in one form of cryptocurrency or another. Our plans for May 22, 2026 Bitcoin Pizza Day Keene edition will be the same. If it rains the Shire Free Church has agreed to host our backup location at: 73 Leverett Street in Keene, New Hampshire (go around to the back of the building as there is a large room for events).
If the weather is good we’ll be outside Little Zoe’s at their outdoor tables:
Location: 149 Emerald St #5, Keene, NH 03431
Date & Time: Friday, May 22nd, 2026 @ 4:20 PM
Bitcoin Pizza Day, celebrated annually on May 22, commemorates the first real-world commercial transaction using Bitcoin, which occurred on May 22, 2010. Florida programmer Laszlo Hanyecz posted an offer on the Bitcointalk forum to pay 10,000 BTC for two large Papa John’s pizzas, a sum worth only about $41 at the time but valued in the hundreds of millions to billions of dollars today. The order was fulfilled by fellow user Jeremy Sturdivant, who accepted the cryptocurrency payment and delivered the food, marking a pivotal moment that proved Bitcoin could function as a medium of exchange for tangible goods.
Crypto users gathered at Little Zoe’s Pizza in Keene for Bitcoin Pizza Day 2019.
For libertarians this isn’t about “value go up”, like it became for some percentage of those who came later. No, it’s about the principles and morals. It represents and enables: Freedom, control, privacy. The later of which Bitcoin isn’t, but unlike fiat currencies (government money and the associated systems of banking, money transmission, etc) it does retain a pseudonymous property compared to fiat in a bank account in that a user does not need to register their identity to merely utilize it. However it enabled the people to gain real control of the money in their pocket, that is something government couldn’t easily step in and steal, was always just the first step. Later came cryptocurrencies like Monero that added stronger privacy mechanisms.

Libertarian Youth @ Porcfest Checking Out Guns On Display
House Bill 1793, the “Protecting College Students Act,” passed the NH House to allow firearms and non-lethal weapons on public college campuses. Scheduled for a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on April 14, 2026, the bill prohibits institutions from enforcing gun-free policies, protecting Second Amendment rights against threats like active shooters.
Students opposed to the bill are being “bussed in”. Fortunately other libertarians and students in favor of the bill will also be at the hearing to testify in favor of it. Restoring the gun rights of our young folks is just one of the many freedoms libertarians have been focused on in New Hampshire.
Unlike “adults” students and other young adults are generally disenfranchised from advocating for their own rights under our current system. They’re inhibited or prohibited from getting drivers licenses, employment, and similar.
Without the assistance of adults many college students can’t get to a state house hearing to testify on this bill who’d otherwise support it. Unfortunately “adults” with more fiscal resources are enabling those opposing the bill to attend that it would otherwise be difficult or impossible for them to testify against.
The wonderful thing about New Hampshire is that there are an increasing number of doers advocating for freedom thanks to the Free State Project’s migration of like-minded liberty conscious folks from around the world.
Whether this bill passes or not is less relevant to our overall long term success, but it none-the-less very well may soon be another check on tyrannical government that has infected every government on earth.
For those interested in attending the hearing:
It’s being held in Room 100 @ 01:45 pm on Tuesday April 14th.
Address: 107 N Main Street, Concord, NH 03303.
