New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu says he will not run for reelection next year, elevating the race to replace him to the heart of the gubernatorial map in 2024.
Sununu, a Republican who is serving his fourth two-year term as his state's executive, hails from a prominent family in New Hampshire and is considered near-royalty in local political circles. His announcement leaves the GOP field wide open -- but not empty.
"Be assured we will keep working and that the Granite State will continue to be our priority for the next 18 months," he wrote. "The stakes are too high for a crowded field to hand the nomination to a candidate who earns just 35 percent of the vote, and I will help ensure this does not happen," he wrote in an op-ed column for The Washington Post last month.
Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig, the leading Democratic candidate in the gubernatorial race, said in a statement that the contest presents New Hampshire voters an opportunity for a "new direction." The campaign arms for both parties insisted they will be heavily involved in the race, previewing the pitched battle ahead.
