 The '''Libertarian Party of New Hampshire''' ('''LPNH''') is the New Hampshire affiliate of the Libertarian Party.  The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire is the only state Libertarian Party in the country which currently has a house caucus, with three sitting state representatives.
-On July 16, 1991, Calvin Warburton became the first sitting legislator to switch parties to the Libertarian Party, and the first Libertarian legislator in the contiguous 48 states. Warburton was serving his seventh term as a Republican state representative in New Hampshire when, at age 81, he switched to the Libertarian Party. In 1992, four Libertarians were elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Warburton (who was re-elected to an eighth term), Andy Borsa, Don Gorman, and Finlay Rothhaus were all elected as state representatives.  The four formed an officially recognized Libertarian Caucus with Gorman as the Libertarian Floor Leader.
