CONCORD, NH - Last night, in the Democrat held delegation of Hillsborough County, Captain Brian Newcomb was elected as the Hillsborough County High Sheriff. This was a remarkable hold for New Hampshire Republicans, adding to the NHGOP’s track record of winning.

New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Jim MacEachern released the following statement on Sheriff Newcomb’s resounding win:

“Congratulations to Sheriff Brian Newcomb on his election win. Hillsborough County residents can sleep easy at night knowing Sheriff Newcomb will work every day to keep our communities safe.”

“The New Hampshire Democrat establishment hand-picked their candidate and flooded this race with money and flashy surrogates, but even with a majority in the delegation, they couldn’t finish the job. I’m incredibly proud of our team’s grassroots efforts and the New Hampshire Republicans in the delegation that showed up to hold this seat. Our party is united and will continue to win up and down the ballot.”
