Statement from Heather Beaudoin, National Coordinator Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty (CCATDP)
“Despite widespread opposition from Granite Staters, victim’s family members, and law enforcement, Governor Sununu vetoed SB593 to repeal the death penalty. We are extremely disappointed by the governor’s shortsighted decision. The death penalty goes against conservative principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and valuing life. Instead, New Hampshire will continue to waste precious taxpayer resources on a broken system that ignores the needs of those most impacted by violence.”
