Chris Sununu in 2022 NH Governor's race
On Abortion:
Disagrees with states having no exception abortion bans
During an interview on CNN's State of the Union, host Jake Tapper asked the governor: "What's your response when you hear someone like South Dakota Republican Governor Kristi Noem, who said...that her state's law would make no
exception for a young girl who got pregnant after being raped?""I don't agree with that at all. I just don't," Sununu responded. "Governor Noem and the folks of South Dakota have to reconcile that."

On Budget & Economy:
Can't add $5T to balance sheet and hope it goes away
Sununu also accused predicted a recession is on the horizon, slamming Yellen for saying that outcome was "not inevitable."??"?You cannot add $5 trillion onto America's balance sheet and
just hope it goes away. The recession is coming. The Fed, I think, has known this for a while. They have kind of ignored it. They should have been easing us into the right rates and where we need to go over a year ago," he said.

On Education:
Student loan forgiveness will lead to higher taxes
I take exception with individuals saying this is a student loan crisis. What's the crisis? Folks get a degree. They get a job. We have more high-paying jobs than ever before for young people. They're low-interest loans. They have been deferred for a
couple of years. Those individuals that think they're getting the $10,000 or $20,000 off their student loans, it's just getting deferred into taxes down the road, higher taxes down the road. This is a political shell game of money.

On Education:
Government getting involved in education doesn't go well
In New Hampshire, we're different. You know, we put more dollars in public education for students than ever before. And we passed school choice, right? We're creating more opportunities for kids in public schools to get credentialed in a work force
type environment that they want to enter into. Any time the government gets overly involved in education it normally doesn't go well. And so, we take that kind of push back approach. We believe in parents and teachers. Teachers now want to be here.

On Energy & Oil:
Renewables don't lower energy costs; look at your bill
Sununu's veto of numerous Democrat-backed bills related to renewable energy also came up in the NHPR debate. [Democratic nominee Tom] Sherman argued that the state would have lower energy costs if it more aggressively embraced renewable energy, but
Sununu flatly rejected that idea."This idea that renewables, all renewables, lower your energy costs is completely wrong, like beyond wrong. It's all on your bill," Sununu said. "So there has to be a transition, but it has to be at the right pace."
