The governor of New Hampshire is the head of government of the U.S. state of New Hampshire and is commander-in-chief of the state's military forces.
The current governor is Republican Chris Sununu, who took office on January 5, 2017, and has been re-elected three times. The longest-serving governor is John Taylor Gilman, who served as governor for 14 years, from 1794 to 1805 and from 1813 to 1816.
Governors
editNew Hampshire was one of the original Thirteen Colonies and was admitted as a state on June 21, 1788.[1] Before it declared its independence, New Hampshire was a colony of the Kingdom of Great Britain.
The original 1776 Constitution of New Hampshire did not provide for a chief executive. The office of President was created by the 1784 constitution, and renamed Governor in 1792.[2] Governors served one-year terms until an 1877 amendment increased this to two years.[3] There have never been any term limits for the office, nor is there a lieutenant governor; should the office become vacant, the president of the New Hampshire Senate acts as governor.[4]
