CONCORD - The Republican-controlled Executive Council voted along party lines to confirm Ryan Terrell of Nashua to serve on the State Board of Education.
"Ryan is highly qualified to serve in this role and will bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and an outside perspective to the State Board of Education," said Governor Chris Sununu. "I would like to thank Councilor Gatsas, Wheeler, Kenney, and Stevens for their vote today, ushering in a new era on the Executive Council that weighs qualified nominees on their resume, not their politics. I congratulate Ryan on this tremendous achievement - he will do a phenomenal job."
The then-Democrat controlled Executive Council rejected Terrell's nomination by Sununu last June.
The only vote against him on Wednesday was that of Democrat Cinde Warmington.
Terrell will serve a term that lasts till Jan. 31, 2024.
