caucus rules

Below are the rules for the House Republican caucus for when it meets to select its next leader. The rules were emailed by New Hampshire Republican Chairman Fergus Cullen to the candidates running for the leadership position and other people connected to the process.

Cullen's email also included the line, "In the interest of saving one of you time, I have included John DiStaso on this email." DiStaso is the senior political reporter for The New Hampshire Union Leader and author of the weekly column Granite Status. In today's column, DiStaso does not mention the rules or the race for House Republican leader.

Update: The rules posted is a draft version. Last night the candidates met to discuss the rules and some changes were made to the rules. These are not the final rules the caucus will follow.
