Chris Sununu in 2024 NH Governor's race
On Energy & Oil:
Transition to renewable energy has to be at the right pace
Sununu's veto of numerous Democrat-backed bills related to renewable energy also came up in the debate. 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."

On Foreign Policy:
Some Republicans lost their moral compass on foreign policy
Sununu criticized fellow Republicans, including former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for their increasingly isolationist views on the war in Ukraine, writing in an op-ed that opposing U.S. aid "is not a viable foreign policy.""Some
in the Republican Party have lost their moral compass on foreign policy, as evidenced by former president Donald Trump, who once called Putin's invasion 'genius' and 'savvy,'" Sununu wrote. "As Republicans, we should support freedom, not abandon it."

On Health Care:
Republicans should have kept negotiating to repeal Obamacare
Sununu said that his party had abandoned efforts to repeal Obamacare and that it should have kept negotiating on what he called "health care reform." In May 2017, Sununu and other Republican governors signed a letter to then-House Speaker Paul
Ryan in which they claimed that Obamacare was "collapsing" and asked that he vote for the American Health Care Act, saying: "The President and Congress must act now to repeal the Affordable Care Act to protect the citizens we serve in the states."

On Principles & Values:
Keep houses of worship open during public health emergency
Churches, synagogues and other houses of worship in New Hampshire were shut down during the pandemic. But a new law signed by Gov. Sununu will prevent the state or local governments from shutting them down during future public health emergencies.
The measure was approved by the state Legislature largely along party lines. During the pandemic, Sununu's emergency stay-at-home order prohibited churches from holding in-person services. Many houses of worship held online services.
