Christopher Sununu is governor of the State of New Hampshire. Named the nation's most fiscally responsible governor by Cato Institute, Sununu has delivered three balanced state budgets with no new taxes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he balanced the health and safety of Granite Staters with keeping the state's economy strong. New Hampshire ranked among the safest states for COVID-19. Today, the Granite State is the fastest growing state in the Northeast, has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation, and has the lowest child poverty rate of any state in America. Early in his tenure, Sununu created The Doorway and the Recovery Friendly Workplace initiative; both have become national models for prevention, treatment, and recovery from substance use disorder. According to the CDC, New Hampshire in 2021 was one of four states to reduce drug overdose deaths.
