Attorney General Gordon MacDonald did his best to convince three Democrats on the five-member Executive Council that his lengthy association with conservative Republican causes and candidates would not influence his decision-making as chief justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court, should they decide to confirm him to the post.
Gov. Chris Sununu will need the vote of at least one of those Democrats to confirm his nominee, who was widely praised by current and past state Supreme Court judges at a confirmation hearing on Wednesday.
