Dartmouth is a frequent campaign stop for presidential hopefuls, and has previously hosted a number of presidential candidate debates. In 1999, the College hosted "First in the Nation: A New Hampshire Town Meeting," attended by then-leading Republican and Democratic candidates including eventual Democratic nominee Al Gore. Dartmouth is currently working to host a Republican Presidential debate later this year.
