CONCORD — Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Gary Hicks swore in Republican Gov. Chris Sununu to his third term Thursday at noon in what Sununu described as likely the shortest inauguration ceremony in state history. It was just under 15 minutes in the Executive Council Chambers at the State House.
“We are here under very unusual circumstances,” Sununu told the small gathering, citing safety concerns that came up in the last month with protesters picketing his home in Newfields, culminating in what he called “the tragedy we saw yesterday in Washington.”
