Big takeaway from tonight’s
#NHSen
debate:

was angry — at times out of control — or lost answering simple questions. Couldn’t name a food, or a world leader. Just way too angry.
NH voters shouldn’t feel safe with a person like that in the Senate.

This is a Republican New Hampshire State Representative backing the call for the genocide of trans people made at CPAC yesterday.
He’s sits on the House Education Committee.
#NHPolitics
He’s still scheduled to headline an NRA event in just a few weeks.
Attending that event after what happened yesterday would be just about the ugliest thing this governor has ever done.

Sununu signed a politically motivated curriculum ban on race and gender issues in New Hampshire schools that threatens teachers with lawsuits and losing their careers overnight.
If he’s looking to blame someone for divisiveness I’ve got a mirror he can borrow.
#NHPolitics
CHRIS SUNUNU: I hate this woke cancel culture
MARGARET BRENNAN: What does that mean to you?
SUNUNU: It's the divisiveness we see not just in our schools but in our communities
Every single New Hampshire voter knows
@GovChrisSununu
owns this astronomical rate increase.
This happened under his watch, under a public utilities commissioner he hand picked. His failure has disrupted life and increased costs for all Granite Staters

Good lord .. a 112% electricity rate increase for New Hampshire.

talking about "civics start with civility" after signing maps that further gerrymander our State House.
when elections aren't fair + candidates run in primaries to the extreme, that only weakens civic participation/trust.

Your voucher scheme was on the ballot in Rochester this week and it went down in flames. Just like it did in the midterms.
NH wants strong public schools. They don’t want to pay tens of millions of dollars for a renegade program with zero transparency.

A Democrat Governor means a less safe New Hampshire.

This man signed an abortion ban in New Hampshire in 2021 with no exceptions for rape or incest and criminal penalties on doctors.

No plan. No vision.

Progressive candidate Kerri Harrington wins seat on Littleton select board formerly occupied by State Senator Carrie Gendreau, who brought scandal to the town with religiously-motivated anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and calls for a public art ban.

This Free Stater backed voucher scheme has been an out of control failure from day one. Accountable to no one and millions over budget, it’s a far right program designed to weaken and defund public schools.
Sununu’s legacy on education is ugly from every angle.
#NHPolitics
NH FUNDS STUDENTS - not systems.
Education Freedom Accounts have been a tremendous success. Proud to sign this legislation expanding eligibility for families without the financial resources necessary for their students to attend the school that best fits their path.
In the 2022 midterms, Democrats in New Hampshire won a majority of the vote in every legislative chamber.
Due to gerrymandering under Chris Sununu, Republicans held the majority in every legislative chamber despite getting fewer votes.
