Lynch
Governor
John Lynch began his fourth term as Governor of New Hampshire on
January 6, 2011.
In his inaugural address, Governor Lynch stressed government’s shared
responsibility to address New Hampshire’s issues by building on what works
and addressing needed improvements. The challenges include keeping
spending and taxes low; helping all children graduate from high school and
ensuring that educational formulas are sustainable; building strong
infrastructure, including transportation and telecommunications, that
supports the economy; providing businesses and workers the tools and
training needed to compete in a changing and competitive economy; re-making
the health care system, particularly how and what it delivers; and ensuring
clean water for future generations. Sound budget and fiscal management
by the state must also be coupled with continued reform and efficiency in
the delivery of services, greater use of technology, and thoughtful and
appropriate regulations.
Prior to serving in elective office, Governor Lynch served as President
and CEO of a national furniture manufacturer as well as a business
consulting group, and as Admissions Director of the Harvard Business School.
He has also served as Chair of the University System Board of Trustees and
as a member of the board of the Catholic Medical Center in Manchester. His
community involvement activities include past president of the UNH alumni
association, membership on the board of the Capitol Center for the Arts, and
coaching youth sports.
Governor Lynch was born in Waltham, Massachusetts. He is a graduate
of the University of New Hampshire (UNH), the Harvard Business School and
the Georgetown University Law Center. Governor Lynch and his wife Susan
have two daughters and a son.
