A 71 Republic exclusive interview with New Hampshire State Representative Caleb Dyer (L-Pelham) disclosed that there will be a 3rd Libertarian [Party member] joining his ranks in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. The Representative, who at this point is unknown, is set to make the announcement on June 27th at the steps of the state capitol building. Dyer also confirmed that the representative is from the Republican Party.

There are currently two Libertarians in the New Hampshire State House. The first, Rep. Dyer, a former Republican who switched in early February, and Joseph Stallcop, who switched from the Democratic Party on May 10th, 2017.
This would mean that 75% of all current Libertarian Party legislators are in New Hampshire. This will bring the New Hampshire Libertarian Party Minorty Caucus up to 3 members. The biggest the Caucus ever reached was 4 members.. Historically, LP candidates for state legislator have done better in elections in NH than in any other state. NH also hold the record for the most former LP legislators of any state. Vermont and Alaska are the only other states that have even made a blimp on the radar when it comes to LP legislators, and that was years ago.
