New Hampshire Attorney General
[edit]Clean air emissions standards
[edit]Ayotte joined Attorneys General from eight other states to sue federal regulators over a rules change that made clean air emissions standards for power plants less strict and eliminated clean air reporting and monitoring requirements.[17][18]
In 2005, the court agreed with Ayotte and the others that the Environmental Protection Agency must measure changes in the emissions from power plants and could not exempt power plants from reporting their emissions.[18]
Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England
[edit]In 2003, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire found the Parental Notification Prior to Abortion Act, a New Hampshire law requiring parental notification of a minor's abortion, unconstitutional, and enjoined its enforcement. In 2004, New Hampshire Attorney General Peter Heed appealed the ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, which affirmed the district court's ruling. In 2004, Ayotte appealed the First Circuit's ruling to the Supreme Court, over the objection of incoming Democratic Governor John Lynch. Ayotte personally argued the case before the Supreme Court.[citation needed] The Supreme Court unanimously vacated the district court's ruling and remanded the case back to the district court, holding that it was improper for the district court to invalidate the statute completely instead of just severing the problematic portions of the statute or enjoining the statute's unconstitutional applications.[22] In 2007, the law was repealed by the New Hampshire legislature, mooting the need for a rehearing by the district court.[23]
In 2008, Planned Parenthood sued to recover its attorney fees and court costs from the New Hampshire Department of Justice.[24] In 2009, Ayotte, as attorney general, authorized a payment of $300,000 to Planned Parenthood to settle the suit.[25]

A rising Republican lost her seat in the Trump era. Now she's trying a comeback.
Former Sen. Kelly Ayotte narrowly lost her seat in 2016. Now, she’s running for governor of New Hampshire after a lucrative detour into the corporate board circuit.
excerpts:
And while Ayotte spent the last seven-plus years out of office, she stayed connected in the political and policy spheres before her next opportunity — netting millions on corporate boards, writing on state and national issues in newspapers and, early in the Trump administration, advising one of his Supreme Court picks through the Senate confirmation process.
In 2016, Ayotte was nearing the end of her first term in the Senate, establishing herself as a key GOP voice on national security, at the same time as Trump’s unexpected political rise.
The path from then to now
After the end of her Senate term, Ayotte stuck around briefly in Washington, serving as an adviser to then-Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch during his Senate confirmation process before she returned to New Hampshire.
But in the intervening years between leaving the Senate and running for governor, Ayotte spent her time in the private sector and made over $2.1 million in cash fees serving on corporate boards between 2017 and 2023, according to an NBC News review of corporate proxy statements. The figure does not include any stock she was awarded while serving on the corporate boards, which could also total in the millions, and it includes only reported data from public companies on whose boards Ayotte served, like Blackstone, Bloom Energy, Boston Properties, News Corp. and Caterpillar, not private companies where she was also reported to have served on boards, like Blink Health and Citronics.
At different points in 2023, Ayotte owned over 16,000 shares of Blackstone stock and over 7,000 shares of stock in Boston Properties, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings. In January 2024, she also reported owning over 50,000 shares of News Corp. stock.
Ayotte also served in advisory roles for several other companies, like Chubb Insurance, Microsoft and Revision Military.
MIKE POMPEO NEGOTIATED THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL WITH THE TALIBAN, EXCLUDING THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT, WITHDRAWING U.S. MILITARY, RELEASING TERRORISTS THAT THE AFGHANS HAD ARRESTED TO SABOTAGE THE INCOMING BIDEN ADMINISTRATION - POMPEO SET THE DEADLINE! FOR AYOTTE TO OPINE INDICATES HER WARP!
As a member of the Afghanistan Study Group, building on an area of focus for her as a senator, she co-authored a report in 2021 urging the Biden administration to postpone the deadline for the required withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
She also authored a letter to the editor in The Washington Post in 2019 about the GOP’s plans to tackle climate change.
SO WHAT'S AYOTTE GONNA DO? WHERE IS HER POLICY DEFINED?
In the letter, Ayotte critiqued a recent article that she said “failed to take into account several examples of recent Republican leadership on advancing clean-energy solutions. As a former senator and strong public advocate with a track record of advancing policy in the clean-energy space, I feel compelled to set the record straight and give credit where it is due.”
When she wrote the letter, Ayotte was also serving as an adviser to Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, a right-of-center nonprofit aimed at pushing Republican politicians to advocate for clean energy solutions.
She also zoomed in on more local issues in the press.
In 2021, Ayotte also wrote an op-ed in the New Hampshire Union-Leader criticizing Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess for seeking to “strip the [police] department of ... independent oversight and seize control.”
At the time, Nashua’s Police Commission was the last in the state whose commissioners were still appointed by the governor, rather than locally.
Ayotte’s allies are quick to point out that despite her service on corporate boards and in various political roles since leaving the Senate, she’s also sought to return to her New Hampshire community in more average ways.
One person who used to work with Ayotte told NBC News, “Since leaving the Senate, it’s not unusual to see her at the Penguin Plunge,” or in the carpool line at her children’s school, where she serves on the board.
“They’re just, you know, they’re just regular New Hampshire parents,” the person added.
Now, Ayotte is trying to climb back onto the political ladder and lead the state.
