The libertarian Republican legislators – five incumbent state representatives and two representatives-elect – allege that the governor has overstepped his legal authority as he’s taken measures to bar the spread of the pandemic, the most severe to affect the nation and the world in a century.
Their endeavors to seek a determination to challenge Sununu in the upcoming 2021 congressional session comes just days after the governor last week executed a mask command, making New Hampshire the 37th state in the nation to have mask conditions. And it comes following an anti-mask rally outside the governor’s private home.

Stepanek, endorsing the governor’s works supporting fellow Republicans in the 2020 elections, insisted that “this cycle the governor went overboard – he gave his time, his name, his money, to help all down-ballot Republicans.”
And in a statement, Stepanek and NHGOP vice-chair Pam Tucker wrote that the state party “has always and will continue to stand with Governor Sununu and his team as he fights for Granite Staters during this global pandemic. Talk of impeachment is a severe obfuscation of the reasons Granite Staters elected Republicans on Nov. 3 and these House members seeking headlines will look foolish when this effort falls flat before it even gets off the ground.”
