How Ted Cruz Won the NH Conservative Caucus Vote

By Published on October 22, 2015

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was the undisputed winner of the first ever caucus of New Hampshire conservatives to rally behind a candidate in advance of the state’s first-in-the-nation presidential primary in February. The 603 Alliance, a grassroots organization of New Hampshire conservatives, has endorsed Cruz.

Earlier this year the alliance began organizing the caucus as a means to prevent the conservative vote from getting split among so many candidates and thus handing the primary to an establishment candidate like Jeb Bush. The idea behind the caucus was that all conservatives present would throw their support behind the winner, whomever it was, and campaign for him in the months leading into the primary.

It was a clear, beautiful but cold (about 45 degrees) fall day as around 700 conservatives from across the state gathered at the State Fairgrounds in Hopkinton to choose their candidate. From the start the event seemed more of a Cruz rally than a caucus, as the senator himself gave a fiery speech outside the unheated barn where the voting was to be held. Cruz was the only candidate to personally attend the caucus.
