Governor Ayotte’s veto of SB 552 is a profound disappointment to the women and girls of New Hampshire. As a girls’ gymnastics coach, athlete and NH State Chapter Leader for The Independent Women's Network and advocate for single-sex spaces, I expected more from our first female governor. This was her moment to lead New England—to become the first governor in the region to affirm the basic truth that biological sex matters in locker rooms, restrooms, sports, and prisons. Instead, she chose the path of least resistance. Her veto statement rings hollow: she claims she’s been asking for a “thoughtful, narrow way” while protecting the privacy, safety, and rights of all Granite Staters. Yet SB 552 is that measured approach. It simply permits distinctions based on biological sex in limited, high-stakes settings where privacy and fairness are on the line. The science is clear, the concerns are widespread, and the public supports it. Repeatedly vetoing common-sense protections while offering no meaningful alternative isn’t thoughtful leadership—it’s kicking the can down the road and leaving girls exposed. New Hampshire’s motto is “Live Free or Die.” Women and girls cannot live free when their most intimate spaces and hard-earned opportunities are compromised. Governor Ayotte had the chance to show real courage and integrity by standing with the vast majority of Granite Staters who understand that biological reality is not bigotry. Instead, her veto echoes the same weak excuses we’ve heard before. This is not protection for “all.” It is a failure to protect half. We are deeply disappointed, and we will not stop fighting for the privacy, dignity, and fairness our daughters deserve. New Hampshire women and girls are watching—and we deserve better. We will bring this forward again until courage prevails. @KellyAyotte @IWN @IWV @IWF @WDI_USA @LisaMazurNH @NewHampJournal @GrahamAllen @GraniteGrok @GraniteDiscours @CCRCNH @Citizensdogeusa @SenScottBrown @ScottPresler @xx_xyathletics @JenniferSey @Sidewalk_Steve @BethRS62 @bourne_beth2345 @NHGOP @NHGOPWOMEN @NHGOPCaucus



New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte, a Republican, has *again* vetoed a so-called “bathroom bill” that would’ve expressly allowed public & private entities to separate certain spaces by biological sex rather than gender identity. Her GOP predecessor vetoed similar legislation.

WOW: CNN’s statistician Harry Enten BREAKS DOWN the “stunning” rise of socialism in the Democratic Party. “Capitalism has absolutely fallen through the floor. Look at this: it’s now just 42% of Democrats who have a favorable view of capitalism. Socialism, on the other hand, has risen like a rocket…” “You mention New York, you mentioned Vermont, obviously, there’s the D.C. mayor. We’ve seen it in Pennsylvania as well. The Democratic Socialists seem to be doing considerably better than they used to be, and they have the chance to knock off, in fact, Democratic incumbents in Congress.” “And part of the reason for that, why we’re seeing these Democratic Socialists having such good chances, or downright outright winning nominations, is — take a look here. Net favorability among Dems, Democratic Socialists of America — look at that, a plus-17-point net favorability rating among Democrats.”
