New Hampshire Governor Says He Would Be Bad Fit for Senate

(Bloomberg) -- New Hampshire’s Republican governor, Chris Sununu, said he chose not to run for the U.S. Senate because he lacks the personality and inclination to be a lawmaker rather than a chief executive.

“I would be incredibly frustrated,” he said in an interview on Monday on Bloomberg Television’s “Balance of Power.” “Not only would I be frustrated, but they would probably ultimately get pretty frustrated with me, because I can be pretty demanding about accountability and results.”

Sununu, 47, said he would seek a fourth term rather than make a run for the U.S. Senate last month, in a closely watched move that could affect the fight over control of the Senate in next year’s midterms. Right now, Democrats control the 50-50 Senate only with Vice President Kamala Harris’s tie-breaking vote.

Asked if he declined to run because of partisan fighting in Washington, Sununu said that “the partisanship -- it doesn’t mean it is broken, but I think you have a lot of personalities focused on their personalities.”

So he probably is well acquainted with what being a senator would be like.
