Governor New Hampshire

Kelly Ayotte

Kelly Ayotte’s record reflected a consistent pattern of votes and actions that cut health care, raised costs for families, and aligned closely with Trump’s agenda. She supported “some of the cuts” in Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which was projected to strip health coverage from tens of thousands of Granite Staters, cut Medicare, and cut SNAP benefits. Ayotte also declined to oppose Trump’s tariffs even as grocery prices rose and New Hampshire small businesses and tourism took a hit. She signed into law tax legislation that made it difficult for New Hampshire to cover food assistance as Granite Staters struggled to afford groceries. While Social Security services broke down and federal jobs in New Hampshire were cut, she backed Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE agenda instead of intervening to protect Granite Staters. Ayotte opposed clean energy tax credits and backed environmental rollbacks that weakened protections and favored fossil fuel interests over New Hampshire’s clean energy future. Ayotte voted for a federal abortion ban and voted to limit access to contraception, threatening the reproductive freedoms of Granite Staters. While serving as New Hampshire attorney general, Ayotte faced allegations of covering-up abuse and neglect at the Sununu Youth Development Center, as survivors and advocates questioned and protested her inadequate response to the abuse. As governor, she used executive power to withhold public records over her Supreme Court applicants, limiting transparency and raising conflict-of-interest concerns involving state government decisions.
