But the problem is that he aspires to be those guys. He called himself a Trump guy through and through, and he wants New Hampshire to be the Florida of the north. He’s not as crazy as those two because he doesn’t have the power to display it, but he aspires to be them.

I actually do care if our politicians are spending time and money screeching about the Canadian border when it’s not an issue. I also care when homeland security or immigration or whoever does it starts pulling people over on 93 up there without probable cause just because it’s within 100 miles of the border. I have a huge problem with that and I don’t even drive up there it’s just wrong

That’s what I thought too until he did an abortion ban and then started screaming about the northern border, as if that’s a problem lol

Oh I forgot about that thing with Jim, that guy is so unhinged. Back in 2016 I remember dipping out of Portsmouth Facebook group because he was SCARY.
And yes I actually voted for Sununu once. But then he went off the rails

I was OK with him until he did the abortion ban, and then when he went on TV shouting about the northern border I lost any respect for him that I had. Totally ridiculous

Meh-Good, he's generally okay and the alternatives have been absolute shit so I'll vote for him, my only real gripe is weed money being loss due to the desire for a state dispensary or nothing.

Maintaining the status quo and some self serving policies. Average?

I feel like the border issue is something he does for political grandstanding, but all politicians do that so I don't care. It doesn't seem like it'd be an issue that would affect me in any meaningful way so I shouldn't listen to people that make an issue about it.
I do wish he would change his stance on marijuana legalization though.

The best thing - and the worst - is the weather. Though when the weather is really bad - it makes being inside drinking (your favorite beverage) by the wood stove extra cozy.
And almost everyone is accepting and chill - as long as you're not trying to get us to switch religions - or political parties.

I think he’s a POS for following the culture wars against trans and LGBTQ. He’s shown he’s more than willing to dump public education for a voucher system. He preaches living free but repeatedly vetos bill to legalize recreational cannabis because he wants the state to have full control, not the “free” people. He promoted raising an already extremely high property tax to give businesses more tax breaks. We have next to no access to mental health services. In all he keeps the state stagnant in hopes of being that “middle road” candidate which just means pro corporate policies with no real help to any of the people. Legacy politicians need to go.

Started off between good and meh. Now he's somewhere between meh and bad.

How are you paying any significant I&D tax without being a trust fund baby?
Edit: 401Ks and IRA have tax benefits that let you save for retirement with significant tax benefits. Unless you're maxing out contributions to one or both why would you make taxable investments?

He’s predictable in that he’s going to give politician answers and try to look good on a national stage. Very little change, it feels like we’ve been frozen in time since he’s been in office. Also predictable in that you can tell his Dad still has his ear, doesn’t want to anger old conservatives and we as a state end up behind on everything. You pick an issue and I’ll show you a neighboring state doing it better. Education, Transportation, Freedom (lol) etc etc

He is useless. Ineffectual as a policy maker and impotent as a leader would be about the best (nicest) words I can come up with to describe him. But, he isn't Trump or DeShithead so he has that going for him.

The government's going to get that rich asshole money one way or another and I'd rather it come through the IRS than a lobbyist.

Best: Fireworks are highly encouraged. Worst: Crazies in state government. Every month there is some freaky news story about bizarre behavior by someone in the state legislator (I.e. dropping their hand gun on the floor in the State House), and worse than that.

Yeah I don’t really get too repulsed by that because I have spent quite a bit of time in the third world, so my nose is kind of numb to it. I hear where you’re coming from, honestly I’m more repulsed by the shitty owner

Between Meh and Good.
He veto'd a lot of bad gun control proposals, which was good.
He's blocked marijuana legalization, which is bad.
He's both distanced himself from and tried to be a part of MAGA. He released something awhile back complaining about border security, which just... isn't an issue we are concerned about at all.
Otherwise he's been a very middle of the road candidate. He's easy to vote for because you see him resisting changing much. His opponents always run on a mix bag of positive + negative changes (at least to me and most people I know).

I make faaaaar less then $200K and pay the I&D tax.
Good riddance to a tax that punishes people for living within their means and saving money for retirement.

The best part about NH is north of Manchester.
The worst part about NH is Manchester South.
Portsmouth is the exception to the rule and very nice, albeit expensive AF.

Prop 13 in CA means old people, who own more than half of residential properties, have vastly lower property tax rates than we do.
