In 1976, Stahl and others secured all New Mexico delegates to support Ronald Reagan for President; in 1980, Stahl's work in New Hampshire, alongside his wife Carol, led to Reagan's primary victory in that state. Reagan's NH victory turned the primary tide in his favor. Many view Jack L. Stahl as a father of the modern conservative movement.
