These objective, nonpartisan measures are used to show this legislator's activities at the Statehouse in 2023 and 2024. The measures are not intended to present a ranking or rating of any kind. Average is that of all state elected officials in this chamber. Gov. Sununu is still in the process of signing and vetoing 2024 bills, so the number of prime sponsored bills that became law may increase.

Union Leader Voter Guide, 2014
"I oppose a state income tax (or for that matter a sales tax), but I do not believe it appropriate to legislate by constitutional amendment, except where a court decision has made it absolutely necessary. The people of NH have made it abundantly clear in past elections that they favor neither a sales nor an income tax, and no legislature, Republican or Democratic, has passed one. If the people continue to oppose those taxes, and elect legislators who do so, no amendment is necessary. If they do not, the remedy is to elect those who likewise do not. I trust the people of NH."
