CONCORD — Executive Councilor Cinde Warmington (D-Concord) and other Democratic leaders called on Gov. Chris Sununu to demand the resignation of Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut for speaking Sunday “at an event of fringe right-wing extremists encouraging people to forgo public health guidance in our schools.
“Frank Edelblut’s continuous disregard for New Hampshire public health puts the well-being of our schoolchildren at risk,” said Warmington. “It is time Gov. Chris Sununu demanded Frank Edelblut resign from his position as Commissioner of Education.”
