On Sunday, the attorney general officially named Alexander Talcott as the victim and announced an ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.

Talcott’s memory is being honored for his unwavering commitment to the fundamental principles of the Republican Party. He was known for his steadfast advocacy of concepts such as liberty, free markets, and limited government. This sentiment was echoed by the New Hampshire chapter’s State Director of the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA), who stated to NBC 10 Boston that “Alex was an exceptionally skilled champion for the rule of law and the importance of fair and honest elections. We will forever honor Alex’s selfless dedication and profound contributions to our shared vision of liberty through legal processes,” said William O’Brien.
O’Brien further stated, “His legacy will undoubtedly inspire future generations within the RNLA and the greater legal community.”
Talcott had been appointed as the leader of the New Hampshire division of the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) in 2021, as previously reported by WMUR.
A close friend of Talcott’s, Chris Ager, shared his sentiments, stating, “He always wanted to do more and he was very helpful. He wanted to help.” Ager continued, “He came to me many times just asking, ‘Hey Chris, how can I help?’ Never asking for anything in return. He was that kind of person. We’re really going to miss him a lot.”
