Former U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu is now officially running to reclaim the same Senate seat he first held more than two decades ago.

Sununu, who first indicated he was considering a Senate bid more than a month ago, formally launched his campaign with a video announcement Wednesday morning.

"Maybe you're surprised to hear that I'm running for the Senate again," Sununu said in the video. "I'm a bit surprised myself. Why would anyone subject themselves to everything going on there right now? Well, somebody has to step up and lower the temperature. Somebody has to get things done."

Sununu, who lives in Rye and is the older brother of former Gov. Chris Sununu and son of former Gov. John H. Sununu, says if elected his focus would be on the economy, jobs, debt and affordability.
