Election for the governorship of New Hampshire
The 2022 New Hampshire gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the
governor of New Hampshire . As
New Hampshire does not have gubernatorial term limits, incumbent
Republican Governor
Chris Sununu won re-election to a fourth 2-year term in office against Democratic nominee Tom Sherman with 15.5% margin.
Sununu had 'expressed interest' in
running for the U.S. Senate in 2022 against incumbent
Democrat (and former governor)
Maggie Hassan . However, on November 9, 2021, he announced that he would instead run for a fourth term as governor.
[1] Sununu became the first Republican to win a fourth term as governor, and also tying
John Lynch 's modern record of four terms overall.
