“There has never been an event like this before,” said Huntsman. “To have so many presidential candidates and leaders from both parties gathered at the same event speaks to the growing influence of the No Labels movement and the growing desire for a new politics of problem solving in America.”

Lieberman added, “Voters are tired of the empty promises and the partisan games. Voters are looking to hear leaders say not just what they want to do as president but how they plan to do it. Well, here’s the candidates’ chance to convince 1,000 New Hampshire voters that they have a plan for how to break the gridlock and tackle America’s toughest challenges.”
