NH GOP chair, tea party activist, says won't quit (AP)

CONCORD, N.H. ? New Hampshire's embattled GOP chairman says he will not resign despite pressure to quit from top party leaders.

Jack Kimball, a tea party activist, says he represents a movement that is much larger than him and one that is crucial to the party's future.

Kimball held firm even as U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte and a majority of the party's executive board called for new leadership in a letter dated Wednesday and set a Sept. 1 vote.

Some Republicans are unhappy about recent GOP losses in special elections for House seats. Some raised concerns about the lack of cash in the party's accounts.

Kimball says ousting him will create a deep divide in the party. He says the party's lean coffers are a result of his efforts to retire old debt.
