The 2016 New Hampshire gubernatorial election will take place on November 8, 2016, to elect the Governor of New Hampshire, concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.
Incumbent Democratic Governor Maggie Hassan is eligible to for re-election to a third term in office, but she has announced she will run for the U.S. Senate against Senator Kelly Ayotte.[1][2][3][4]
Background
Incumbent Democratic Governor John Lynch decided to retire in 2012, rather than seek re-election to a fifth term in office. The Democratic nominee, former State Senate Majority Leader Maggie Hassan, defeated the Republican nominee, attorney and 1996 gubernatorial nominee Ovide M. Lamontagne, 55% to 43%. She was re-elected against businessman Walt Havenstein in 2014 by 52% to 47%.
