Sununu, one of eight siblings, was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Nancy Hayes and former Governor of New Hampshire and White House Chief of Staff John H. Sununu.[1] He has Lebanese, Palestinian, Irish, Scottish, and English ancestry. Sununu earned both B.S. and M.S. in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1987 and an M.B.A. from Harvard University in 1991. After graduating, he worked in the high-tech industry, at one time for the company of Dean Kamen. He is the only Senator of Arab descent. [2].

Political Offices

First elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1996, he was reelected twice before winning a United States Senate seat from New Hampshire in 2002. Sununu first defeated the Republican incumbent Bob Smith in the primary. He then went on to edge Governor Jeanne Shaheen in the general election by a margin of 50-47%, a result that was clouded by accusations of dirty tricks. In June 2004, former Republican consultant Allen Raymond pleaded guilty to jamming Democratic Party lines set up to get New Hampshire Democrats to the polls in 2002, an action that some (most notably former Senator Smith [3]) believe may have contributed to the outcome. A judge sentenced Raymond to five months in jail in February 2005. Chuck McGee, the former state GOP chair, was sentenced to seven months for his role. Raymond alleged that James Tobin, Northeast field director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, masterminded the plot. In December 2005, Tobin was convicted of two federal felonies arising from the phone-jamming and sentenced to ten months in prison. Tobin's conviction was later vacated on appeal.

U.S. Senate Career

Sununu has taken some positions contrary to the Bush administration and the Republican leadership. He voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment and has voted to require child safety locks with the transfer of handguns. He opposes restrictions on travel and trade with Cuba, and was one of only two Republicans to vote in favor of terminating funds for TV Martí, which broadcasts anti-Castro programming in Cuba. He was one of a small group of Republicans to vote in favor of banning loans to China for any nuclear projects, and in September of 2005 he voted to disapprove a new rule set in place by the Administrator of the EPA delisting coal and other energy sources from the Clean Air Act.

In January 2006, at a hearing in front of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee on the Broadcast Flag, he was one of the very few present to criticize the legislation. He stated: A broadcast flag is a set of status bits (or flags) sent in the data stream of a digital television program that indicates whether or not it can be recorded, or if there are any restrictions on recorded content. ...

  • In all cases [of previous technological advancements in the US], we didn't need to step in with a significant statutory government-regulated mandate on technology that consumers use to enjoy this material,
  • I don't know of a case where we were discussing such a dramatic step where the federal government will legislatively mandate a specific type of technology to be incorporated in all of this material. Maybe the sky really is falling this time, but I think it is worth suggesting a little bit of skepticism, it's worth offering up a little doubt before we not just entertain this, but jump ahead to what exemptions were required.
  • The very technologies that some seem to be afraid of are driving innovation, and driving creativity as we sit here today. In fact, we have an unprecedented wave of creativity and product development and content development... I think the history of government mandates... is that it always, always restricts innovation. Why would we think this one special time... it will actually encourage innovation? [1]

In October 2006, Sununu voted in support of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, suspending the right of habeas corpus for non-citizen detainees. In defense of the vote, he told reporters "The Constitution is not a suicide pact." [4] President George W.

On March 14, 2007, Sen. Sununu became the first Republican senator to call for the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales after a controversy over U.S. Attorney firings.

Election 2008

Main article: New Hampshire United States Senate election, 2008

Sununu is up for re-election in 2008. Since Sununu won a close race (51-47%) in a Republican year, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who heads the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has made New Hampshire a top target. The New Hampshire Senate election will take place on November 5th, 2008. ... Charles Ellis Chuck Schumer (born November 23, 1950) is currently the senior U.S. Senator from the state of New York, serving since 1999. ... DSCC can also refer to Defense Supply Center, Columbus. ...


Sununu is generally considered a "weak" incumbent due to relatively weak poll numbers. SurveyUSA's latest poll of New Hampshire showed Sununu only receiving a 47% approval rating, which is under the 50% mark that usually indicates a strong incumbent [6]. A February 1, 2007 poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire indicates that only 45% of New Hampshire voters hold a favorable opinion of Sununu. Additionally, in the 2006 Midterms, Democrats took both of the state's house seats as well as majorities in both houses of the New Hampshire General Court, thanks not only to the anti-Republican mood in 2006, but also to the popularity of Governor John Lynch, who won re-election with 74% of the vote. It is worth noting that, as New Hampshire elects its governor every two years instead of four, Lynch will appear on the ballot again in 2008. If a strong Democratic challenger is fielded, this race could become very competitive, although political analyist Larry Sabato has initially rated the race "Leans Republican" [7]. The New Hampshire General Court is the state legislature of the U.S. state of New Hampshire. ... John H. Lynch (b. ...


Despite considerable speculation, Governor Lynch has declined to run against Sununu. There are rumors that former New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen — the Democrat who lost to Sununu in 2002 — might consider running again. As the race was close in a relatively GOP year, it is likely that a rematch would also be tightly contested. The mayor of Portsmouth, Democrat Steve Marchand, has announced he will run for the seat. Jay Buckey, a professor at Dartmouth College, former Astronaut, and Air Force Flight Surgeon, has announced that he will also run for the seat. [8] Katrina Swett, daughter of Congressmen Tom Lantos and wife of Ambassador and former Congressment Dick Swett is also contesting for the seat.
