SUNUNU STATEMENT ON PAPPAS OPPOSING GOVERNMENT REOPENING

New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate John Sununu issued the following statement regarding Rep. Chris Pappas announcing that he will vote “no” on reopening the federal government:

“Sadly, Chris Pappas is proving that he would be a partisan pawn if elected to the Senate. We already know that when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House, Chris Pappas voted with her 222 out of 223 times. Now Chris Pappas is doing Chuck Schumer’s bidding as a candidate for Senate. Instead of voting to reopen the federal government as part of bipartisan legislation agreed to by both of New Hampshire’s current Democratic Senators, Chris Pappas is siding with the extreme Far Left in an effort to keep the federal government closed. Chris Pappas is too far left to be a Senator from New Hampshire.”

Last night, a bipartisan vote passed in the U.S. Senate that was brokered by both of New Hampshire's current Democratic Senators.

According to Axios, Senator Shaheen at a press conference said: “When I talk to my constituents in New Hampshire, you know what they say to me? They say, 'Why can't you all just work together to address the problems that are facing this country?'"
