NH Democrats Cheer As Ayotte, A Republican, Vetoes Bathroom Bill, Ban On Obscene Material In Schools
MERRIMACK COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE, JUL 15 – Governor Kelly Ayotte vetoed seven far-right bills to prevent censorship, protect LGBTQ+ rights, and maintain existing parental controls amid GOP efforts to expand book bans and vaccine exemptions.
- On Tuesday, July 15, 2025, Kelly Ayotte vetoed seven bills, bucking her party’s conservative wing in a rare legislative break.
- Citing existing state law, Ayotte argued that House Bill 475 would hinder recruitment, and she noted that parents already have mechanisms to address inappropriate materials.
- Among them, Ayotte rejected House Bill 446, which would require public schools to get explicit parental permission for non-academic surveys, and House Bill 667, mandating fetal development videos in sex education.
- In turn, NEA New Hampshire declared, `the veto is a classroom censorship effort`, while Alexis Simpson said Democrats will keep fighting for freedom.
- With Republicans lacking a veto-proof majority, overriding the vetoes will require a two-thirds majority in both chambers, reflecting ongoing political tensions.
