With 29 total vetoes this term — the most by a governor whose party controls the legislature since 1989 — she’s sparking major friction with Republican lawmakers over conservative priorities. The bill, which sought to enforce sex-based segregation in public spaces and exclude transgender girls from female sports teams, was defended as necessary for fairness and privacy — but Ayotte and critics argue it’s discriminatory and unnecessary. Though this version is dead for now, sponsors vow to revive it next year. Her broader veto pattern also includes child protection, animal cruelty, and environmental bills — revealing a governor consistently pushing back against legislation she deems harmful, even when it comes from her own party.
