1828 New Hampshire gubernatorial election

The 1828 New Hampshire gubernatorial election was held on March 11, 1828.

Incumbent Jackson Governor Benjamin Pierce was defeated by Adams nominee John Bell.

Candidates

 * John Bell, "Adams", sheriff of Rockingham County
 * Benjamin Pierce, "Jackson", incumbent Governor

Party labels were in flux following the splitting of the Democratic-Republican Party into groups following the 1824 presidential election. Contemporary newspapers refer to Pierce as a "friend of Andrew Jackson" and Bell as a "friend of John Quincy Adams" or "supporter of the Administration"  although others suggested Pierce had won the support of many Adams supporters.
