All politicians have their pros and cons. Some can have more pros than cons and ultimately it's subjective, but when taking into account a state’s economy, its roads, bridges, infrastructure, its public safety, the fiscal stability of state government, and the opportunity it affords its residents, do you think that New Hampshire has done well or not under the current Sununu governorship, why or why not?
Please try to stay respectful with each other and of other's stances.

I generally felt like he was a more or less neutral political figure for a while. A little too much in bed with the resorts and money in the state but more or less harmless. I even voted for him once.
Then he started trying to appeal more and more to the MAGA crowd. Signing the abortion ban, pushing for public tax money to be given to religious schools, spending NH tax dollars to "secure our northern border" etc.
The thing that really pushed me over the edge was when Rep. Jim Spillane (R) was calling for his supporters to commit a home invasion on anyone with a BLM sign in their yard and Sununu utterly refused to call him out because they are in the same party.
If someone threatens violence on your constituents you call them out. I don't care what party you are in.
That was when I knew that he doesn't actually care about NH, he just wants to be president so bad that he will sell out every single one of us to get there.
Edit: Oh yeah, and he is also responsible for losing millions in tax revenue and causing many people in the state to have criminal records because of his 1950's perspective on marijuana.
Edit2: Also, let's not forget that he vetoed the bill that passed the House and Senate that would allow citizens affected by PFAS contamination to sue the companies responsible to cover the medical testing they will have to do for the rest of their lives.
