Concord, NH – Today, Governor Chris Sununu announced that he will nominate Rockingham County Attorney Pat Conway to serve as a Superior Court Judge. The nomination will be made at tomorrow’s March 24th, 2021 Executive Council Meeting.

“Pat Conway is a well respected, hard-working Prosecutor,” said Governor Chris Sununu. “During her years of service as Rockingham County Attorney and as an Assistant County Attorney, Pat litigated countless cases before the Superior Court and has the experience needed for this critical role. She will make an exceptional judge.”

“I am both honored and humbled that Governor Sununu has nominated me for a Superior Court judgeship position,” said Pat Conway. “I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to continue my work in public service as a judge.
