Mr. Presdient, I have really enjoyed working with John Sununu. John Sununu grew up in Salem, NH, and is one of eight children. He was first introduced to public service at a young age, when his mother served as chairman of the local school board. John attended public schools, graduated from Salem High School, and received bachelor's and master's degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. John also earned a master's degree in business administration from the Harvard Graduate School of Business. John Sununu first ran for public office in 1996, winning election in New Hampshire's 1st District and serving 3 terms in the U.S. House. In 2002, John defeated both an incumbent Senator and the sitting Governor to become the youngest Member of the U.S. Senate. As a Senator, John distinguished himself as an innovative legislator, bringing his extensive background in science, engineering, and small business to his work in Washington. Senator Sununu has been a staunch advocate for low taxes, smarter regulation, and civil liberties. Since he is still a young man at the age of 44, I suspect that we will be hearing a lot more from John Sununu in the years to come. I wish him well in his future endeavors.
