The Free State Project (FSP) is a political movement aimed at relocating “liberty” minded people to New Hampshire, promoting personal and economic freedom. (Along with guns and crypto.) Their thinking is that “more liberty leads to more prosperity for everyone.” Ask any property owner whose taxes have risen to offset all the state revenue that has been stripped away by the Free Staters just how prosperous they’re feeling.
The Libertarian Party of NH (LPNH) is the state affiliate of the
national Libertarian Party, “dedicated to advancing principles of individual liberty, voluntary association, private property rights and limited government intervention in personal and economic affairs.”
Sigh . . .
The leader of the LPNH is Jeremy Kauffman, a former board member of the Free State Project, having been kicked out in 2023 for his repeated refusal to stop using FSP social media accounts to promote white supremacy. In 2022, he ran against Maggie Hassan for a Senate seat and thankfully lost. In 2024 he was visited by the FBI for posting on X, “Anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero.” Kauffman’s wife, Rachel Goldsmith, was an Interim Executive Director for FSP (2018) for a couple years before beginning a chapter of Moms for Liberty in 2021 in Hillsborough County. Later that year, “Moms” offered a $500 bounty to anyone who turned in an educator who “taught” critical race theory. Here they are with the governor, House Majority Leader Jason Osborne and his wife Sharon.
Recently this invitation to attend an upcoming Free State party in NH appeared on a white supremacist X account.
And this disturbing one and a half minute video, promoting Free Staters and Libertarians recently surfaced but was removed. Luckily, someone thought to save and share with others. It’s narrated by Kauffman who fancies himself as our future governor, claims to want to raise strong, healthy families (but wants nothing to do with vaccines), wants to go to Mars to cure disease (but they have no use for science), questions if NH should annex northern Maine. It’s a dark vision of “utopia.”

This can and must be stopped by using the ballot box in November!
