(old TV reference there – a single bullet. Wonder if she’d “get it” being not from the age when dirt was being created like me?)
Someone on the NH GOP State Committee (there are ZILLIONS of them! And many of them like GraniteGrok) sent this to me. Wow, just wow. I responded back in utter amazement:
Thanks. Stunning lack of political situational awareness.
So before I “welcome the new NH GOP Comms Director, I would direct her first to study the NH GOP ByLaws before letting loose again:
ARTICLE II: Officers of the Committee & their Duties
(snip)
No officer of the State Committee as defined in Article II, Section 2, shall participate in any primary contest on behalf of any candidate for a Republican nomination. They shall remain strictly neutral in any such primary contest.
So, did Mackenzie Rohde just commit the NH GOP to support Governor Chris Sununu (I’m…resisting…so…hard!) in the Republican Primary soon arriving?
Emphasis mine:

I wanted to send you a quick note to introduce myself– I’m Mackenzie Rohde and I am excited to join Team NHGOP as the new Communications Director! I’m joining the State Party after most recently working on Jack Ciattarelli’s campaign for Governor in my home state of NJ.
I couldn’t be more excited to move up to the Granite State! As Governor Sununu says those who were born in NH are lucky, and those who move here are smart! I couldn’t be more happy to be up here in the Granite State as we prepare for what I know is going to be a historic year for Republicans.
I’ve already hit the ground running, working hard to reelect our Governor, expand our State House majorities and fire Maggie Hassan, Chris Pappas, and Annie Kuster!
This is going to be a great cycle, but Team NHGOP and I can’t do it alone. We need your help to secure victories this November. Will you help out Team NHGOP by donating?
Thank you for your support!
On to Victory!
Mackenzie Rohde
A wee bit rambunctious there, Mackenzie, or is this just a carry over from NJ politics. You probably should have a chat with Matt Mowers about such a transition…
…or maybe not. Be more fun this way. Hey Mackenzie, did anyone BOTHER to tell you about Karen Thurston or Thad Reilly or Julian Acciard?
Welcome to GraniteGrok, ma’am!
And no, I’m not not going to call her Barney because she’d probably be thinking of this one:
Yes, I AM assuming that Mackenzie is a “she” until told otherwise – most people with that name that I know of are female. I’ll fix it when I’m told I’m wrong. That said, I think that the NH GOP needs to fix its website first – that SHOULD have been first thing done by MacKenzie:
Not a lot of operational discipline here, Steve – staff, emails, allowing Democrats running as Republicans…
