John E. Sununu: “He’s not an independent voice for New Hampshire.”

He is unquestionably, as Governor Ridge said, very able, very well qualified, and I take the perspective that we are fortunate as citizens to have him step up and take on this responsibility.

I'll have one job: stand up for the people of New Hampshire every single day... I don't need to make anyone in Washington happy. It's all about our state, our communities, our economy, and our small businesses.

We want to make sure that there is fair competition. We want to make sure that there are reasonable economic incentives for buildout and for other things.

I think it hurts the number of people that we can have in a setting. And again, it’s just a regulation that makes it a little tougher for people in New Hampshire when they’re doing the right things to deliver the services they need.
