Short questions with Dana Perino for Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire

For this week's "Short questions," Dana Perino interviews New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu — who reveals his pick for top tourist attraction in his state plus the best advice he's ever received.

For a number of months now, I’ve enjoyed checking in with some of your favorite Fox personalities to learn more about who they are behind the scenes. 

But as you may recall, I did promise to throw in some surprise appearances here and there!

This week I wanted to share my conversation with Gov. Chris Sununu ahead of the New Hampshire primary, which will be held on Jan. 23, 2024, eight days after the Iowa caucuses. He is the 82nd governor of the State of New Hampshire

Before his election to governor in 2016, he served for three terms on the New Hampshire Executive Council, representing 32 cities and towns in Rockingham and Hillsborough counties. He grew up in Salem, New Hampshire, and graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) with a BS in Civil/Environmental Engineering. 

Read on to learn more about Gov. Chris Sununu as all eyes are focused on New Hampshire now and in the days ahead. 

CS: Never wanted to be in politics. I briefly attended NYU Film School and always envisioned working in Hollywood. 

I still don’t consider myself all grown up — so I suppose there’s still time for my great American screenplay. 

CS: Technology improving access and reliability of clean water changed the world. 

Clean water has saved billions of lives across the globe, and I am particularly proud of spending the early part of my career cleaning up hazardous waste sites. 

One of the foremost responsibilities of government is ensuring access to clean water. 

CS: I love being outdoors and in the wilderness. It’s why I hiked the Appalachian Trail. 

Favorite place to ski outside of New Hampshire is in the mountains of Utah.

CS: "What do you like to do in your free time?"

CS: Only if the rocket was designed by MIT engineers. 

CS: Best advice I’ve ever been given: Be wary of unsolicited advice. 

Favorite piece of advice to give: Never give unsolicited advice. 

CS: Def Leppard in Manchester, New Hampshire.

CS: Phil Murphy and I splitting a six-pack of beer in front of a Patriots game is guaranteed to be a good time. 

CS: Kale is not actually good for you. Stop eating it. 

CS: It doesn’t get any better than the summit of Mt. Washington.
