Chris Sununu rejects "debate and talk" of Senate in favor of reelection bid for governor

New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu disappointed Senate Republicans Tuesday with his announcement that he would seek a fourth term as governor, rather than challenging first-term Democrat Maggie Hassan for her Senate seat.

His decision, he said, was driven largely by the inaction and gridlock in Washington. 

"I'd rather push myself 120 miles an hour delivering wins for New Hampshire than to slow down, end up on Capitol Hill, debating partisan politics without results," Sununu said. "That's why I'm going to run for a fourth term."
