In a recent development, New Hampshire Attorney General Gordon MacDonald announced that Governor Chris Sununu will not renominate him for the role. MacDonald served as Attorney General since April 2020 and his term was set to expire in March 2023. The decision not to renominate MacDonald was met with surprise and disappointment by many in the legal community.
Governor Sununu has chosen Deputy Attorney General Jane Young as the acting Attorney General for now. Young has been with the Department of Justice for over three decades and is well-respected in the legal community. Sununu has expressed his confidence in Young’s ability to lead the Department of Justice during this transitional period.
MacDonald’s tenure as Attorney General was marked by his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, overseeing investigations into police misconduct, and advocating for criminal justice reform. He did not provide a reason for the decision not to renominate him, but sources close to the situation suggest it may be due to political considerations.
The legal community will be watching closely as the gubernatorial race heats up, with Attorney General being a key position that will impact the state’s legal landscape. The decision not to renominate MacDonald has left many wondering about the future direction of the Department of Justice and who will ultimately be chosen to lead it.
