John Lynch on Homeland Security

Democratic NH Governor

Fight closing the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard

When the Department of Defense recommended closing the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, John Lynch joined with federal officials and community leaders to fight the federal government and make sure the shipyard stayed open, saving several thousand jobs.

John Lynch issued an executive order guaranteeing that state employees activated for duty in the National Guard will continue to receive their health benefits and the difference between their state and National Guard salaries.
