Fresh off 2016 success, Republicans meet to choose new chair

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) New Hampshire Republicans are gathering this weekend to choose their next state party chair.

Former state Sen. Jeanie Forrester is poised to win Saturday's vote by hundreds of state committee members. Forrester would succeed Jennifer Horn, who held the job for four years.

Forrester is laying out a plan to "Make New Hampshire Red Again," by getting more Republicans involved in local committees, increasing in-state fundraising and training and recruiting early for 2018. Top goals include holding the governor's seat and winning back a congressional seat from Democrats.

Republicans won back the governorship for the first time in 12 years with the election of Chris Sununu. But the state's congressional delegation is fully Democratic, with former Gov. Maggie Hassan knocking out Republican Kelly Ayotte in a heated U.S. Senate battle.
