FREEDOM — A local state representative says although he didn't realize state Democrats were naming him as a team member of a Democratic group tasked with "detecting lies" of Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, he's not shy about fact checking.

On Tuesday morning, the N.H. Democratic Party issued a press release trumpeting the creation of the "Sununu Lie Detector Team," which it said would be "a new effort to hold Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Sununu accountable for his dishonest attempts to conceal his Trumpian agenda. The members of the Sununu Lie Detector Team hail from all corners of the state and come from all walks of life."
