NASHUA, N.H. — Today, Kelly Ayotte, candidate for Governor, received the endorsement of Governor Chris Sununu. Tomorrow, Kelly and Governor Sununu will travel across the state for a “Super 603 Day” to share Kelly’s positive vision for our state with voters, and highlight local businesses and fun things to do in New Hampshire.
Endorsing Kelly, Governor Sununu said, “Kelly understands that with strong fiscal responsibility, limited government, and local control, New Hampshire has set the Gold Standard for the rest of the country to follow. Kelly connects with people and has always put individuals and families first. She’s the Republican who will win in November and hit the ground running in January. Count me in as an enthusiastic supporter of Kelly Ayotte for Governor!”
Kelly released the following statement after announcing the endorsement:
“I’m proud to have Governor Sununu’s endorsement, and I look forward to working with him to spread our message of keeping our state safe, prosperous and free to voters across our great state. Under Governor Sununu’s leadership, New Hampshire is the best place in the country to live, work, and raise a family, and when I’m Governor, I will work tirelessly to keep us moving in the right direction.”
Kelly continued, “Our state is only one election away from becoming something we are not. Joyce Craig and Cinde Warmington think the Massachusetts model is a better path than the one Governor Sununu has put us on — that couldn’t be further from the truth. As Governor, I’ll keep us on the Sununu path of safe communities, low taxes, and respect for personal freedom.”
