Subscribe John has been a key member of my team since the day I took office, and his incredible legal skill and exceptional work ethic have helped me guide the State through the historic challenges we have faced during the past four years, said Governor Chris Sununu. John has built excellent relationships with State leaders that will enable him to transition smoothly into the role of Attorney General, and his experience in both the public and private sectors will prove invaluable in helping lead the Department of Justice for the next four years. I am proud today to announce his nomination and I am confident that, if confirmed, John will carry on the great legacy that we have established at our Department of Justice and will serve our State well.
