Republicans have recruited a Sununu to run for Senate in New Hampshire after all. Former Sen. John E. Sununu said Wednesday that he is running to reclaim the seat he held for a single term before Democrat Jeanne Shaheen ousted him in 2008. Shaheen is retiring next year.
John Sununu officially entered the U.S. Senate race in New Hampshire on Wednesday, hoping to reclaim a seat he lost in 2008.
DALLAS — The Republican race for U.S. Senate now includes three candidates: Senator John Cornyn, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Congressman Wesley Hunt. But only one is the incumbent. And Senator Cornyn is leaning on that experience and the proximity it provides to President Donald Trump.
Sununu, who lives in Rye and is the older brother of former Gov. Chris Sununu and son of former Gov. John H. Sununu, says if elected his focus would be on the economy, jobs, debt and affordability.
When Sununu entered the race on Wednesday, he scrambled the Republican primary, but interestingly not because of Donald Trump. Both Brown and Sununu occupy complicated space in the modern GOP: neither beloved by Trump’s base nor defined by open opposition to him.
