The Governor of New Hampshire is one of the least powerful executives in the nation. They have to contend with a massive legislature (in which the partisan balance swings wildly between elections) and most of their non-legislative powers are restricted by the state's Executive Council (the only of its kind in the nation iirc). They have to run for reelection every two years as well, rather than four, essentially meaning that in the modern era they never stop running. New Hampshire's governorship essentially functions as a holding place for future Senatorial candidates.
