'The Toughest Three Terms:' Speaker Packard Looks Back On Historic Tenure
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
New Hampshire House Speaker Sherman Packard reflects on “probably the toughest three terms almost any speaker has ever had” in his farewell interview with NHJournal.com.
The Londonderry Republican recounts the challenges he faced, from the COVID-19 pandemic to an almost evenly divided House and growing political turmoil. Packard also discusses the recent overrides of Gov. Kelly Ayotte’s vetoes, his belief that government is spending “the people’s money,” and the impact of social media on politics.
Then it’s “Rank Punditry” with veteran GOP strategist Jim Merrill, who analyzes the results of the new Saint Anselm College poll and the state of the hotly contested NH-01 Democratic primary.
