In the September 6 special election to fill a seat in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, Libertarian candidate Brendan Kelly received 17.3% of the vote. Kelly faced both a Democrat and a Republican on the ballot.
LP Executive Director Wes Benedict commented, "In partisan three-way races like this, Libertarian candidates historically have only gotten a few percent, on average. Brendan Kelly’s 17% is an excellent showing, very encouraging. Our party is moving upward."
