Politics & Eggs events are open to NEC members, Event Sponsors, and their guests.
Taking advantage of New England’s unique position as home to the nation’s first presidential primary in New Hampshire, the Politics & Eggs series was launched in 1996 as a forum for local business leaders to hear from presidential candidates in an intimate setting as they visit the Granite State to campaign and build early support.
Since its inception, the breakfast series has played host to nearly every major party presidential candidate and is today considered a “must-stop” on the presidential campaign trail. In fact, Politics & Eggs made a cameo appearance in NBC’s hit show “The West Wing,” with candidates autographing the series’ signature wooden eggs.
In recent years, the series has expanded to include issue forums held in the years between presidential election cycles. These events feature nationally known political figures, analysts, and respected journalists.
Politics & Eggs is a partnership between The New England Council and the New Hampshire Institute of Politics & Political Library at Saint Anselm College. Events are held either on the campus of Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH, or at the Bedford Village Inn in Bedford, NH, both just an hour’s drive from Boston and easily accessible from all parts of New England.
