Three New Hampshire Libertarians Elected

Three Libertarians were elected in New Hampshire's March 12, 1996, local elections. The victories show the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire's commitment to building the party through grassroots efforts and gaining candidate experience.

The winning Libertarians were:

• John Lamb, Libertarian Party county coordinator for Rockingham County, was the top vote-getter in the race for the Plaistow, New Hampshire, Planning Board, winning a one-year term.

• Jeff Emery, chair of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire, was elected to a six-year term to the nonpartisan office of Supervisor of the Checklist in Wentworth, New Hampshire.

  "One of the reasons why we've been successful in New Hampshire is ... we are willing to start at the bottom, learn the process, and move up the political ladder," said Emery of the three wins.

• John Babiarz was elected Cemetery Trustee in Grafton, New Hampshire.
