Why did John Sununu lie? I’m focused on the stories that matter. Chris Pappas Sep 20 Let me tell you a story: A few months back, my opponent John Sununu was asked two simple questions: Is your name in the Epstein files? Have you ever been to Doha, Qatar? He answered no to both. The Washington Post just uncovered that both of those answers were lies. John Sununu traveled to Doha, Qatar. And his name is in the Epstein files. DONATE A bombshell Washington Post report shows my opponent was caught brazenly lying about a trip he took to an event that Jeffrey Epstein used for networking... ...the same event that Epstein and his associate were discussing when Epstein wrote, “John Sununu, has good stories.” I don’t know what stories Jeffrey Epstein is referring to. But I can tell you I’m focused on New Hampshire stories: Working parents struggling to pay for gas and groceries. Young people struggling to find affordable housing in our state. Veterans who put their lives on the line for our country and deserve better than what we’ve given them. New Hampshire deserves a senator who is honest, transparent, and accountable. New Hampshire needs a senator who’s focused on the stories that matter. As your next Senator, that’s exactly what I’ll do. This race is neck and neck, and Republicans are spending millions to try and flip this seat. I need your help to make sure Granite Staters know the truth. Will you chip in $5 or whatever makes sense for you to our grassroots campaign today to defend New Hampshire’s open seat and flip the Senate blue? DONATE Thank you. – Chris © 2026 Chris Pappas PO Box 313, Manchester, NH 03105 NEW HAMPSHIRE: A REMINDER OF WHO JOHN SUNUNU IS AND HIS CONNECTIONS! WE SUPPORT CHRIS PAPPAS FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR ALL THE RIGHT  REASONS - HE'LL FIGHT FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE, NOT FOR DIRTY ENERGY  KOCH! John Sununu: connected to all the wrong people, fighting for all the wrong things. Chris Pappas for New Hampshire MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION: ON THE ISSUES: JOHN SUNUNU John Sununu: We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Energy Policy Published December 12, 2012 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Press Release FACT CHECK: While John Sununu Profits From Trump’s War With Iran, Chris Pappas is Fighting to Lower Energy Costs for Granite Staters June 2, 2026 MANCHESTER, N.H. — Today, a Big Oil funded, Koch network super PAC launched a false ad against Congressman Chris Pappas, attacking his record of fighting to lower energy costs for Granite Staters and incorrectly citing Senate roll call votes on energy legislation that Pappas never took.  “Gas is over four dollars a gallon in New Hampshire because of Donald Trump’s reckless war with Iran which John Sununu supports and is profiting from,” said Chris Pappas for Senate spokesperson Gates MacPherson. “Chris Pappas’s record of taking on anyone to lower energy costs for Granite Staters stands in stark contrast to Sununu’s record of selling out New Hampshire to Donald Trump and corporate special interests.”  FACT CHECK:  The Ad — Paid for by Americans for Prosperity Action, Which is Funded by Big Oil — Cites Senate Votes That Pappas Never Took Americans for Prosperity Action cited roll call vote #320 on 8/10/21, roll call vote #83 on 3/6/21, roll call vote #291 on 8/7/22, and roll call vote #303 on 8/7/22.  The votes cited in the ad were Senate roll call votes, including on days the House of Representatives was not in session. The House was not in session on 8/10/21, 3/6/21, or 8/7/22.  Congressman Pappas is Fighting to Lower Energy Costs And Increase Energy Independence  Congressman Pappas voted for legislation to advance energy independence while lowering costs for New Hampshire families.  Congressman Pappas repeatedly broke with Democrats to combat overly burdensome energy efficiency rules and to speed up energy production.  Congressman Pappas is leading efforts to suspend the federal gas tax to provide Granite Staters with relief at the pump and hold oil companies accountable if they fail to pass savings along to consumers. Congressman Pappas is pushing for bipartisan energy tax cuts for the middle class. Congressman Pappas is working to lower utility bills for veterans and military families. Congressman Pappas is fighting to protect thousands of families who rely on LIHEAP to heat and cool their homes.  John Sununu is Profiting From Trump’s War With Iran While Granite Staters Pay More at the Pump John Sununu is getting richer off Trump’s war with Iran due to his investments in oil and gas companies. John Sununu reported owning between $77,000 and $280,000 in gas and oil stock, including up to $50,000 in ExxonMobil and $65,000 in Shell. John Sununu’s oil and gas portfolio has grown by 24% since November 2025, with the biggest spikes following the January incursion into Venezuela and the February bombing of Iran. John Sununu backs Trump’s war with Iran and downplayed the impact on higher gas prices, saying, “I think it’s a step in the right direction.” The average price of gas in New Hampshire is $4.35, up from about $2.90 a year ago.  A new survey from the University of New Hampshire found that 61% of New Hampshire residents are worried about paying for gas over the next 12 months, and 42% said they have cut spending on non-essentials and are driving less in their day-to-day life because of the high prices. John Sununu Campaign Took Major Donations From Close Epstein Associates Sununu’s donor list is a who’s who of the Epstein class May 1, 2026 6:17 AM EDT By Troy Matthews Senior Writer Key Points John E. Sununu received nearly $70,000 from billionaires tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Donors include Schwab, Schwarzman, Paulson, and Rowan, all documented associates of Epstein. Sununu denied connections; travel records show prior Doha visit linked to Epstein’s network. New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate John Sununu’s campaign committee and joint fundraising committee accepted nearly $70,000 in campaign donations in the Q4 of 2025 and Q1 of 2026 from multiple billionaires who had close ties to Jeffrey Epstein Four names of note appear in recent FEC filings for Sununu’s campaign: Charles Schwab, Stephen Schwarzman, John Paulson, and Marc Rowan, each with a net worth between $4 billion and $42 billion. All four names also feature prominantly in the Epstein Files as close associates of Jeffrey Epstein himself. FEC, 2026 Charles Schwab reportedly attempted to assist Epstein in the purchase of a home in Morocco, a country without an extradition treaty with the U.S., only 10 days before Epstein’s arrest in 2019. Schwab wired $27.7 million to a realtor in Morocco on behalf of Epstein, including from one account that had insufficient funds. Reporting further shows that Schwab’s firm maintained these accounts for several months and facilitated multiple transactions. Schwab declined to comment publicly on the details, citing privacy and regulatory obligations. He was also subpoenaed in connection with litigation involving Epstein’s estate and has been referenced in numerous documents released by the Department of Justice. John Paulson, a billionaire hedge fund manager who got rich in the lead up to the 2008 financial crisis, appeared in Epstein’s so-called “little black book” of important contacts along with only about 348 other people. Paulson’s SuperPac has also spent a quarter of a million dollars on ads trying to unseat Rep. Thomas Massie, who is leading the charge on the Republican side to unseal the Epstein files, and co-authored the Epstein Transparency Act. Epstein also told an associate to contact Paulson in an email from 2010: Department of Justice, Epstein Library, “Paulson” Steven Schwarzman and Epstein were co-founders and members of an exclusive social club for billionaires in New York called the Core Club. Epstein was described as “lurking at the core of the Core Club,” which by the mid-2000’s had become a ritzy “hub for real estate’s elite” bringing together the wealthiest in multiple industries including Schwarzman, Aby Rosen of RFR, Steven Roth of Vornado Realty Trust, and Estee Lauder Executive Chairman William Lauder. The Wall Street Journal dubbed the Core Club “The Private Manhattan Club With a Jeffrey Epstein Problem” in a piece from February of this year. Epstein also called Schwarzman, “terrific” in an email to an associate in 2010: Department of Justice, Epstein Library, “Schwarzman” Marc Rowan regularly had meetings with Epstein in his New York home where we now know Epstein was sexually assaulting young girls. Rowan, co-founder of Apollo Global Management, has longstanding ties to Republican political fundraising efforts and has donated millions of dollars to GOP-aligned committees in recent years. He has also been associated with President Donald Trump and was previously considered for a Treasury Secretary role. Documents released in connection with Epstein investigations indicate that Rowan maintained contact with Epstein during the 2010s. Records show multiple meetings, including visits to Epstein’s New York residence, as well as ongoing communication related to financial and professional matters. Documents also suggest that Epstein and Rowan discussed business strategies and that Epstein was consulted on certain financial issues involving Apollo. The records also indicate that introductions were made between Epstein and other business figures through Rowan’s network. Apollo shareholders filed a class action lawsuit alleging that senior leadership, including Rowan, misrepresented the extent of Epstein’s involvement with the firm. Sununu himself was also mentioned by Epstein as a recommendation to his friend and advisor Boris Nikolic for someone to meet up with while visiting Doha, Qatar, because Sununu “has good stories,” according to emails in the Epstein files.  Sununu later denied being in the Epstein files or ever having been to Doha, despite travel records showing him going there in 2001 and meeting with a member of the Qatari royal family who was a close friend of Epstein. In 2010, Nikolic sent an email to Epstein saying he was taking a trip to Doha, Qatar and asked Epstein if there were any interesting people he should meet with while he was there. Epstein responded with, “you are the most interesting person there..they should be calling me asking me how to meeet[sic] you.,, john sununu, has good stories.” Department of Justice, Epstein Library, “Sununu” Sununu is running for U.S. Senate from New Hampshire in 2026.

MEIDASTOUCH NEWS Nearly two decades later, John E. Sununu wants New Hampshire to send him back to the U.S. Senate BY:WILLIAM SKIPWORTH-OCTOBER 23, 2025 excerpt: The Democratic Party, meanwhile, has already begun targeting Sununu for his post-Senate career as a lobbyist. “John Sununu went to Washington almost thirty years ago, then cashed in, making millions selling out to corporations and working for Big Oil, Big Pharma, and Wall Street while the people of New Hampshire paid the price,” New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley said. “The only reason Sununu wants to go back to Washington now is to sell out New Hampshire to the same corporations and special interests that have lined his pockets for years.”  NEW HAMPSHIRE BULLETIN
