WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senate Republicans are coalescing behind former U.S. Senator John Sununu’s campaign to take back New Hampshire’s Senate seat and restore common sense in Washington.
Led by National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC), the early endorsements underscore Sununu’s strength and the GOP’s confidence that New Hampshire is a top battleground for 2026.
The Senators joining Scott include: Senators Jim Banks (R-IN), John Barrasso (R-WY), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Katie Boyd Britt (R-AL), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Tom Cotton (R-AR), James Lankford (R-OK), and Pete Ricketts (R-NE).
“John Sununu’s deep roots and passion for the Granite State make him built to win,” said Chairman Scott. “New Hampshire is ready for a proven leader who stands up for seniors, fights for economic and educational opportunity, and delivers real solutions to make life more affordable and prosperous. Granite Staters are fed up with Democrats like Chris Pappas, who is beholden to Nancy Pelosi and the most radical elements of his party instead of New Hampshire families.”
“John Sununu is the fighter we need in the Senate,” said Banks. “His experiences delivering real results for the Granite State in both the House and Senate are unmatched. There is no one better to win this race and finally give New Hampshire a champion again.”
“John Sununu’s decision to run instantly makes New Hampshire a top tier U.S. Senate race,” said Barrasso. “John is qualified and formidable. At a time when Senate Democrats have shut down the government and blocked military pay, John Sununu would be a Granite State voice for putting America first, not more dangerous DC political games.”
“John Sununu has a proven record as an America-First, conservative fighter,” said Blackburn. “John is exactly the kind of strong, principled leader we need in Washington to protect our Senate Majority and stand shoulder to shoulder with President Trump. The people of New Hampshire are ready and deserve a freedom fighter – someone who will always put their needs above political theater. That leader is John Sununu, and I’m thrilled to give him my full endorsement!”
“John Sununu understands what leadership means, and he’s proven over and over he will always put Granite Staters first and stand firm in his convictions,” said Britt. “American families need strong, commonsense leaders in Washington to fight for them, and John has the experience and the heart to deliver for New Hampshire.”
“John Sununu’s New Hampshire roots run deep, and he’s a principled and experienced fighter ready to deliver on day one,” said Capito. “He’s committed to strengthening our economy, keeping communities safe, and bringing common-sense solutions to Washington.”
“New Hampshire is facing a choice between another rubber stamp for Chuck Schumer in Chris Pappas or a proven champion in John Sununu,” said Cotton. “There is no one better to meet the moment Granite Staters are facing than John. He knows what it takes to deliver real results and I look forward to working with him to give New Hampshire a common-sense Senator again.”
“John Sununu is a proven leader who understands the challenges facing New Hampshire better than anyone. His experience will give him the ability to deliver results on day one,” said Lankford. “As Senator, John will fight to protect our freedoms, grow our economy, and restore common sense in Washington. No one is more ready for this fight.”
“John Sununu has a proven record of conservative leadership and prioritizing fiscal responsibility,” said Ricketts. “John’s private sector experience will be invaluable to helping us continue making government work better and breaking through the gridlock that has burdened American families and our economy for too long. He knows what it takes to balance budgets, grow jobs, and defend our shared values. New Hampshire will be well-served with him in the Senate.”
