Gubernatorial Race Heats Up as Chris Sununu Announces He Will Not Seek Reelection
Current Governor's Departure Opens the Door for New Candidates
Sununu, who has served as New Hampshire's 82nd Governor since 2017, made the announcement on Wednesday.
Chris Sununu, the Republican governor of New Hampshire, announced on Wednesday that he will not seek reelection in 2024. Sununu, who is currently serving his fourth term, has been a popular figure in New Hampshire politics. He has received more votes than any other gubernatorial candidate in the state's history.
Sununu's decision to not run for reelection has opened the door for a number of potential candidates to enter the race. Several Republicans have already announced their plans to run, including former state Senate President Chuck Morse and businessman Kevin Smith. On the Democratic side, former state Senator Dan Feltes and state Representative Matt Wilhelm are among the potential candidates.
The gubernatorial race is expected to be one of the most closely watched in the country in 2024. New Hampshire is a swing state that has voted for both Republican and Democratic presidential candidates in recent elections. The governor's race will likely be a key indicator of the political landscape in the state in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election.
