Elections in New Hampshire |
---|
The 2020 New Hampshire gubernatorial election was held on November 3, 2020, to elect the governor of New Hampshire. [1] Incumbent Republican Governor Chris Sununu was re-elected to a third two-year term in office, defeating his opponent Dan Feltes, the Majority Leader of the Senate. [2] Nine governors ran for re-election in this cycle and all nine were re-elected. Sununu's win marked the first time since 1986 that a Republican was elected to a third term as governor, in which year his father, John H. Sununu was reelected for his third and final term. The elder Sununu chose not to seek reelection in 1988, instead becoming George H. W. Bush's chief of staff in 1989.
Sununu became the first person ever to get more than half a million votes in a New Hampshire gubernatorial election, making him the top vote-getter in the history of statewide elections in the state.
