Cassandra Sanchez packed up her desk at the Office of the Child Advocate weeks ago, but her final day still hasn’t arrived.

Sanchez has served as New Hampshire’s child advocate, the official watchdog that oversees the state’s youth-focused systems, such as the foster care or juvenile justice, since 2022. She’s the second person to hold the position, following Moira O’Neill, which was created by state law in 2018. However, in January, Gov. Kelly Ayotte announced she was nominating Diana Fenton, a former assistant attorney general and lawyer for the Department of Education, to replace Sanchez.
