What They Said

“There's a problem with running on a famous last name when voters are demanding change. Especially when that name comes with a political record that voters have already rejected once before.” โ€” Tara McGowan on John Sununu, Gloves Off

From the opening of Tara McGowan's Gloves Off newsletter on John Sununu's 2026 Senate comeback bid in New Hampshire. Sununu lost his Senate seat in 2008; the piece draws on reporting from COURIER's Granite Post.
