The Constitution Party convened its National Committee Meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire, on April 25–26, 2025, drawing members, party leaders, and supporters from across the country. The biannual event served as both a strategic planning session and a celebration of the party’s commitment to constitutional principles, individual liberty, and limited government.
The New Hampshire affiliate hosted the gathering, organizing not only the formal meetings but also historical excursions that tied into the party’s mission. Attendees were treated to guided tours of the New Hampshire State House in Concord—America’s oldest continuously used state legislative chamber—and the National Monument to the Forefathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, a towering tribute to the values of faith, morality, law, education, and liberty that inspired the founding generation.
The two-day event featured a robust lineup of local speakers who addressed a range of pressing state and national issues. Speakers included education activists, grassroots organizers, and constitutional advocates such as Matthew Rhodes, Daniel Richard, Betsy Harrington, Ann Marie Banfield, Michelle Levell, Michael King, and Michelle McCartney. Each brought a unique perspective on how the Constitution Party and its members can advance liberty-focused solutions in their respective areas of influence.
Adding to the local flavor, meals were catered by a small business from Loudon, NH, showcasing the party’s support for community-based enterprise and entrepreneurship.
The highlight of the weekend was the keynote address by constitutional scholar Robert Brown of Utah. Known for his deep understanding of America’s founding documents and his principled defense of constitutional governance, Brown delivered a sobering and well-researched talk on the risks and unintended consequences of a Convention of States. He warned that while the idea of convening a new constitutional convention may appeal to some as a method for reining in federal overreach, it could in fact open the door to drastic and unpredictable changes to the U.S. Constitution—changes that could ultimately erode the very liberties the Constitution was designed to protect.
Two major highlights of the business session were the updates from Area Chairmen on ballot access and states currently organizing, as well as the unanimous vote to welcome a new state affiliate in Indiana. This addition reflects the party’s steady growth and the increasing interest in its platform, particularly among citizens disillusioned with the two-party system.
As the Constitution Party continues to expand its reach and influence, events like the Manchester meeting underscore its commitment to principled leadership, grassroots activism, and unwavering dedication to restoring constitutional governance at all levels of government.
These meetings do rotate across the nation, with the next one taking place in the west. If you are interested in attending a meeting yourself, however, there will be another nearby opportunity in the Spring of 2026.
