One month and one week after Republicans took control

The announcement was likely to send a jolt through New Hampshire state politics. In November, Hinch and top Republican leadership held at least two meetings indoors in a Manchester ski area – first on Nov. 9 to celebrate the election results, and second on Nov. 20.

The Nov. 20 event resulted in an outbreak that led to four positive COVID-19 cases from participants, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services. At the time the outbreak was announced Hinch and his office said that all representatives that had tested positive were not likely to show up to the Dec. 3 Organization Day.
