CONCORD — Republican Executive Councilor Russell Prescott hasn’t given up on getting Attorney General Gordon MacDonald approved as Chief Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court three months after his three Democratic counterparts turned thumbs down on Gov. Chris Sununu’s nomination.
At the Executive Council’s meeting on July 10, Prescott of Kingston and fellow Republican Ted Gatsas of Manchester favored MacDonald, but Democrats Debora Pignatelli of Nashua, Andru Volinski of Concord and Mike Cryans of Hanover voted against approving MacDonald, prompting Sununu at the time to refuse to bring forward other judicial nominations.
