I live in NH. I'm all about this passing. The battle is still uphill. We have a Senate to get things through and a governor who is aspiring to a GOP POTUS run either in 24 or 28 and has been vocally opposed to and openly said he would veto any bill like this more than once. We need a veto proof majority to beat the Governor on this.

If you live in NH, talk to your representatives regardless of party, this crosses lines and we don't have many issues that do. If they want to remain in their positions for another election, tell them to vote for this or lose a vote to anyone qualified to replace them.

Fellow NH native. This is absolutely correct.

Also from NH and because NH is so small, my first thought was, "oh, someone from New Hampshire... I probably know them..."

Upshot is, we vote for a new governor every two years, instead of four, so if it's important enough, it's a shorter wait to vote someone in who's more aligned with legalization.

Yeah, I have voted against Sununu in every run since I've been a resident of NH. We moved here about seven years ago and bought a house a quarter mile down the road from her dad and her childhood home. As a native NJ/NYer this is WASP country and very prim and proper for my taste. So I am really shocked this has even gotten as far as it has.

I think it came from about 20 years of Dem governors...Lynch, Shaheen and Hassan. People wanted a change and Sununu comes from political royalty, here. Fairly moderate by today's standards. Not sure he's got much left in the tank, though

I think Sununu’s pronouns are He/Him.

Do you think I called him a her or she, or did you misread me talking about my wife for Sununu?
