"Yet, even Sununu must recognize his recent successes are due to this new coalition. Until last November, Democrats controlled the state Legislature, and Sununu could only veto their worst proposals. Pundits predicted this would continue. Thanks to an influx of new voters with the Free State Project and grassroots organizing by state and nation organizations alike, New Hampshire became the only state in 2020 to flip its Legislature from blue to red.
Tough bargaining by the Liberty GOP put the most libertarian state budget in modern America on Sununu’s desk. The budget abolishes everything that resembles an income tax and is paid for with real spending cuts past Republican leaders never delivered (even in the Tea Party era).
It also includes major education reform. In a year when public schools and teachers unions have denied students vital learning opportunities, “education savings accounts” have become the gold standard of the school choice movement.
“Funding students, not systems,” ESAs allow parents to access state education funds and save their own income tax-free for their students’ educational expenses, including private tuition and homeschooling costs. Over the loud objections of teachers unions, New Hampshire has become the third state this year to pass ESAs into law."
