She’s made more than 100 stops across New Hampshire in her first 100 days.

She’s faced pushback from her own party on some of her early budget priorities.

She delivered on one of her major policy initiatives and has more political promises to keep.

Gov. Kelly Ayotte marked 100 days in office Saturday and took the occasion to highlight her accomplishments and what she hopes to achieve in the coming months.

The Republican governor, a former state attorney general who was convincingly elected governor last November, said she’s been primarily focused on strengthening communities and protecting the state. And they point to the governor’s repeal of the 2018 state law that made it easier for suspects to avoid time in jail after their arrest.

Ayotte announced the creation of a new Highway Safety Task Force to address distracted driving, wrong-way driving, and speeding. She directed law enforcement agencies to help federal authorities enforce immigration laws, as well as a new partnership with the city of Lawrence, Mass., to combat drug trafficking.

“Since day one, we’ve focused on strengthening our communities, protecting what makes New Hampshire special, and leading our entire state to an even brighter future,” Ayotte said in a statement.

Not everyone agrees.

Amplify New Hampshire, a progressive public advocacy group, criticized Ayotte for not being more vocal about the impact of tariffs or federal funding cuts on the state.

“In just 100 days, Kelly Ayotte has handed Granite Staters higher prices, looming tax hikes, and silence when it mattered most,” said Ryan Mahoney, the group’s executive director. “While families pay more at the grocery store, on housing, and in property taxes, Ayotte’s failed to deliver results and has been absent when New Hampshire needs strong leadership.”

Most importantly, Ayottedidn’t deliver on her promise to lower costs, Mahoney said.

“Kelly Ayotte has had 100 days in office — what does New Hampshire have to show for it? Less money in our pockets and an empty chair in the corner office,” Mahoney said.

Ayotte’s staff noted progress in other areas, including her signing of a new law to help finance new housing construction, her push for a bill to address the housing shortage, and her proposed 60-day state permitting process.

On education, Ayotte’s team noted the governor’s efforts to increase funding for public schools, her push to expand the state’s education freedom accounts, and Ayotte’s move to remove cell phones from classrooms.

At the top of Ayotte’s to-do list over the next couple of months is completing passage of the two-year state budget, which is currently making its way through the GOP-controlled legislature.

The governor, in her February budget address, proposed belt-tightening. But Ayotte will be negotiating with the state Senate to restore cuts to her budget made by state House Republicans. Among her top priorities cut by lower chamber lawmakers — who cited inadequate resources —\ was mental health funding.

With only a handful of public opinion polls conducted so far on Ayotte’s tenure steering New Hampshire, it’s hard to firmly say where she stands with Granite Staters. That said, the few surveys that have been released indicate that the governor’s approval ratings are comfortably in positive territory.

“Gov. Ayotte will rightly point to a number of successes she’s achieved in her first hundred days in office. Atop that list will be the bail reform legislation recently signed into law,” said longtime New Hampshire-based political scientist Wayne Lesperance, who is president of New England College in Henniker, N.H.

Lesperance added that “also of importance is the energy and enthusiasm she brings to the role not unlike that of her predecessor Chris Sununu. With over 100 stops across the Granite State in 100 days, Kelly Ayotte has turned retail campaigning into retail governing — and Granite Staters approve.”

While there’s been a bit of political drama in Concord, it pales in comparison to the fireworks in the nation’s capital, as Trump’s sweeping and controversial moves continue to dominate headlines. Trump has been expanding the powers of the presidency, upending long-standing government policy and making major cuts to the federal workforce through an avalanche of executive orders and actions.

Meanwhile, the president’s blockbuster moves to increase tariffs on countries around the globe sparked economic anxieties and inflation concerns, increased talk of a recession, and triggered a massive stock market sell-off that affected Americans from coast to coast.

Ayotte mentioned her apprehension over the chaos caused by the Trump tariff whiplash.

“I have real concerns about how a trade war will hurt our economic competitiveness, and I have heard from many Granite Staters that share similar concerns,” Ayotte said earlier this year. “I appreciate that President Trump is fighting to get the fentanyl poison off our streets and secure our border, but I don’t want it done to New Hampshire’s disadvantage. I encourage a quick resolution of this situation so that families don’t unnecessarily bear the brunt of increased costs when prices are already high.”

Former Gov. Chris Sununu, Ayotte’s Republican predecessor who served four straight two-year terms steering New Hampshire, was known, among other things, for his frenetic pace, including his ‘603 Days,’ which celebrated and promoted the Granite State.

Ayotte’s team noted that since she was elected, ”the Governor has made over 120 stops across our state to hear directly from Granite Staters about the issues that matter most to them.”
