Today in New Hampshire, unemployment is at its lowest rate in history, and we had the fastest growing economy in the nation in the second quarter by GDP growth.

Throughout the COVID pandemic, New Hampshire was rated the #1 state for personal freedoms while also having one of the lowest death rates in the nation. We let data guide our decision making and empowered individuals, families, and businesses. We continue to monitor the data and are prepared with the tools in place for whatever might come this winter to keep our citizens safe and our economy open – just as we have for the last two years.

We’ve passed three balanced budgets without raising a single tax or fee and have lowered taxes on small businesses, stopped a 17-cent-per-gallon gas tax increase, eliminated the electricity consumption tax,  and are completely zeroing out the Interest and Dividends tax within the next five years.

We’re investing $100 million to help build new housing which will help grow our workforce and economy, helping our workers live and work in New Hampshire.

We are doing everything we can to return more money to people’s pockets by cutting taxes. To limit the impacts of the nationwide energy crisis, we are providing a $100 credit to every New Hampshire residential ratepayer to offset electricity increases, and we are working to help small businesses maintain strong supply chains.

It has been the privilege of a lifetime serving as your governor, and I hope to earn your vote for another term.
