In New Hampshire’s nip-and-tuck gubernatorial race, the state Democratic Party attacked Republican nominee Kelly Ayotte
When New Hampshire gubernatorial nominee Kelly Ayotte served on two companies’ boards, one “laid off 18,000 workers” and the other “laid off 1,200 American workers, moving jobs overseas.”Former Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire speaks at a campaign rally on Sept. 22, 2020, in Gilford, N.H. New Hampshire Republican gubernatorial nominee Kelly Ayotte served on several companies’ boards, including Blackstone since 2019 and Caterpillar from 2017 to 2023.
When contacted for comment, the Ayotte campaign did not dispute the $2.5 million compensation figure. Here, we’ll focus on the ad’s claims about layoffs. Ayotte served on the company board of Blackstone, which had a joint venture with MGM Resorts when MGM laid off 18,000 workers as the COVID-19 pandemic hit and travel slowed dramatically. But Blackstone served as MGM’s landlord; it did not operate the company or dictate its layoffs.
