RGA Statement on John Lynch’s Decision to Forego Re-Election

September 15, 2011

Republican Governors Association executive director Phil Cox released the following statement in response to New Hampshire Governor John Lynch’s announcement that he will not seek a fifth term as governor:

“New Hampshire Republicans were already fired up at the prospect of turning the state red in 2012. John Lynch’s decision to forego a re-election bid increases the GOP’s chances of picking up the governorship and puts the Democrats further on their heels nationally in 2012.”

NOTE: RGA Chairman Bob McDonnell is keynoting a New Hampshire Republican Party fundraiser on September 26, 2011.
