The Politics & Eggs series was founded in 1995 to provide New Hampshire and New England business leaders with a chance to meet with major party presidential candidates. Since that time, virtually every major candidate has attended this program, and it has become a "must-stop" on the presidential campaign trail. In recent years, the series has been expanded to include speakers other than candidates who discuss critical issues facing our nation.
Politics & Eggs is produced by the New Hampshire Institute of Politics in collaboration with the New England Council.
