Линч Уильям мен Маргарет Линчтің алты баласының бесіншісі ретінде Массачусетс штатының Уолтем қаласында дүниеге келді. Линч 1974 жылы Нью-Гэмпшир университетінен бакалавр дәрежесін, Гарвард бизнес мектебінен бизнес-әкімшілік магистрі және Джорджтаун университетінің құқық орталығынан заң докторы дәрежесін алды. Бизнес карьерасында Линч Гарвард бизнес мектебінде қабылдаулар директоры, ал Нью-Гэмпшир штатының Манчестер қаласындағы The Lynch Group бизнес-консалтинг фирмасының президенті болды. Линч Knoll Inc. ұлттық жиһаз өндірушісінің бас директоры болып жұмыс істеді, онда компанияны жылына 50 миллион доллар зиян көріп, жылына шамамен 240 миллион доллар пайда табуға жеткізді. Оның басшылығымен Knoll жаңа жұмыс орындарын ашты, зауыт қызметкерлеріне жыл сайынғы бонус төледі, қызметкерлер балалары үшін стипендиялық бағдарлама құрды, зейнеткерлік жасы келген қызметкерлерге зейнеткерлік жоспарын жасады және қызметкерлерге компания акцияларын берді. Линч сайлауға дейін бес ай бойы штат губернаторы Крейг Бенсонды, бірінші мерзімдегі республикалық өкілді, Линчтің сөзінше, Бенсонның биліктегі ұзаққа созылған дау-дамаздардан кейін адалдығының жетіспеуі үшін қатаң сынады. Линч Бенсонды штаттық палатада "сыбайлас жемқорлық мәдениетін" және жақын туыстарды қызметке тағайындауды қалыптастырды деп айыптады. 15 қыркүйекте Линч Демократиялық партияның алғашқы сайлауында жеңіске жетті, ал 2 қарашада Линч Бенсонды 51 пайызға 49 пайызбен жеңді. Линч 1926 жылдан бері Нью-Гэмпширде бірінші мерзімдегі губернаторды жеңген алғашқы қарсыласы болды. Линчтің үгіт-насихаты партиясын штаттық заң шығарушы органның екі палатасын және Нью-Гэмпширдің АҚШ Өкілдер палатасының екі орынды бақылауға көмектесті. 2008 жылдың 4 қарашасында ол үшінші мерзімге үлкен артықшылықпен сайланды. Демократтар штаттық заң шығарушы органды бақылауда ұстады, АҚШ Өкілдер палатасының екі орынды сақтап қалды және АҚШ Сенатында бір орынды жеңіп алды. Линч штаттық деңгейде сайланған жалғыз демократ болды. 2010 жылғы аралық сайлауда, АҚШ-тың көптеген штаттарында болғандай, демократтар ауыр жеңіліске ұшырады. Демократтар штаттық заң шығарушы органның екі палатасының, атқарушы кеңестің және АҚШ Өкілдер палатасының екі орынды бақылаудан шықты. Concord Monitor басылымының мәліметінше, Линч 2011 жылдың 6 қаңтарында қызметке кірген кезде "шамамен екі ғасырдың ішінде штаттың ең ұзақ қызмет еткен губернаторы атанды. Джон Тейлор Гилман 1794 және 1816 жылдар аралығында 14 бір жылдық мерзімге губернатор болып қызмет еткен соңғы губернатор болды (штат 1877 жылы екі жылдық мерзімге өтті)". Нью-Гэмпшир және көршілес Вермонт АҚШ-та екі жылдық мерзімді қолданатын екі штаттың ғана бірі. 2011 жылдың 15 қыркүйегінде Линч тарихи бесінші мерзімге губернаторлыққа қайта сайланбау ниетін білдірді. Бұл туралы хабарлаған кезде Линч: "Менде осы жұмысты ұзақ, ұзақ уақыт бойы жалғастыруға деген құштарлық пен энергия бар сияқты, бірақ демократия белгілі бір уақыт сайын өзгерістерді талап етеді. Демократия өзін жаңарту және қайта жандандыру үшін жаңа көшбасшылар мен жаңа идеяларға мұқтаж", - деді. 2013 жылдың 3 қаңтарында Линчтің орнын демократ Меги Хассан иеленді, бұл 19 ғасырдан бері демократтың демократты штат губернаторы ретінде алмастырғанының алғашқы жағдайы болды.
Lynch was born in Waltham, Massachusetts, the fifth of William and Margaret Lynch's six children. Lynch earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of New Hampshire in 1974, a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School, and a Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center. During his business career, Lynch served as Director of Admissions at Harvard Business School and President of The Lynch Group, a business consulting firm in Manchester, New Hampshire. Lynch served as CEO of Knoll Inc., a national furniture manufacturer, where he transformed the company previously losing $50 million a year, to making a profits of nearly $240 million yearly. Under his leadership, Knoll created new jobs, gave factory workers annual bonuses, established a scholarship program for the children of employees, created retirement plans for employees who didn't have any, and gave workers stock in the company. Lynch spent the five months preceding the election relentlessly criticizing Governor Craig Benson, the first term Republican incumbent, for what Lynch claimed was a lack of integrity following a long series of scandals during Benson's tenure. Lynch accused Benson of creating a "culture of corruption" and cronyism at the State House. On September 15, Lynch won the Democratic primary and on November 2, Lynch defeated Benson 51% to 49%. Lynch was the first challenger to defeat a first term incumbent in New Hampshire since 1926. Lynch's coattails carried his party to control of both chambers of the State Legislature and both of New Hampshire's two U. S. House seats. On November 4, 2008, he was elected to a third term in another landslide victory. Democrats maintained control of the state legislature and held both U. S. House seats, and gained a U. S. Senate seat. Lynch was the only Democrat elected to statewide office. As had happened in many states throughout the U. S. during the 2010 midterm elections, Democrats suffered heavy losses. Democrats lost control of both chambers of the State Legislature, control of the Executive Council and both of the U. S. House seats. According to the Concord Monitor, when Lynch was inaugurated on January 6, 2011, he became "the state's longest serving governor in nearly two centuries. John Taylor Gilman was the last governor to serve longer than six years, serving 14 one year terms as governor between 1794 and 1816. (The state switched to two year terms in 1877)" New Hampshire and neighboring Vermont are the only two States in the U. S. that use two year terms. On September 15, 2011, Lynch announced he would not seek a historic fifth term as governor. During the announcement Lynch said "I feel like I have the passion and the energy to keep doing this work for a long, long time, but democracy demands periodic change. To refresh and revive itself, democracy needs new leaders and new ideas." On January 3, 2013, Lynch was succeeded by fellow Democrat Maggie Hassan, marking the first time a Democrat succeeded a Democrat as the state's governor since the 19th century. +New Hampshire gubernatorial election (General Election) Year Winning candidate Party Pct Opponent Party Pct Opponent Party Pct 2004John LynchDemocratic51.02%Craig Benson (inc.)Republican48.87% 2006John Lynch (inc.)Democratic73.5%Jim CoburnRepublican26.5% 2008John Lynch (inc.)Democratic69.8%Joseph KenneyRepublican27.9%Susan NewellLibertarian2.2% 2010John Lynch (inc.)Democratic52.6%John StephenRepublican45.1%John BabiarzLibertarian2.2%

On January 3, 2013, Lynch was succeeded by fellow Democrat Maggie Hassan, marking the first time a Democrat succeeded a Democrat as the state's governor since the 19th century. +New Hampshire gubernatorial election (General Election) Year Winning candidate Party Pct Opponent Party Pct Opponent Party Pct 2004John LynchDemocratic51.02%Craig Benson (inc.)Republican48.87% 2006John Lynch (inc.)Democratic73.5%Jim CoburnRepublican26.5% 2008John Lynch (inc.)Democratic69.8%Joseph KenneyRepublican27.9%Susan NewellLibertarian2.2% 2010John Lynch (inc.)Democratic52.6%John StephenRepublican45.1%John BabiarzLibertarian2.2%
Салықтар
Губернаторлыққа кандидат ретінде Линч "Міндеттеме" берді, кең ауқымды салықтарды, әсіресе сату немесе табыс салығын енгізбеуге. Губернатор ретінде Линч өзінің уәдесін орындады. Линч штат Конституциясына табыс салығын тыйым салатын түзетуді қолдамайды. 2007 жылы Линч зерттеу және даму салық жеңілдігі туралы заңға қол қойды, ол келесі бес жыл ішінде компанияларға "өндірістік зерттеулер мен даму" шығыстарын есепке алу үшін 1 миллион доллар бөлді. 2012 жылы, өзінің соңғы штат үндеуінде Линч салық жеңілдігін екі есеге арттыруды ұсынды, оның жұмыс орындарын құрудағы табысына сілтеме жасады және заң шығарушыларды штаттың колледж жүйесіне қаржыландыруды қысқартып, темекі салығын 10 центке төмендетуге бағытталған қаржыландыруды сынады. 2010 жылдың маусым айында Линч штаттың ЖШС салығын жойған бюджетті теңестіру шарасына қол қойды.
As a candidate for governor, Lynch took "The Pledge" not to enact any broad based taxes, especially a sales or income tax. As governor, Lynch kept his promise. Lynch does not support an amendment to the State Constitution banning an income tax. In 2007, Lynch signed into law the Research and Development Tax credit, which for the following five years appropriated $1,000,000 for companies to write off qualifying "manufacturing research and development" expenditures. In 2012, during his final State of the State address, Lynch proposed doubling the tax credit, citing its success in creating jobs, and slammed lawmakers for slashing funding to the state's community college system to fund a 10 cent reduction in the tobacco tax. In June 2010, Lynch signed a budget balancing measure that repealed the state's LLC tax.
Қылмыс
Линч штаттық бас прокурормен, полиция басшыларымен және заң шығарушылармен бірлесіп, жыныстық қылмыстар жасағандарға қатысты заңдарды қабылдады; штаттық полиция күштерін арттырды; және штат прокурорларының санын көбейтті. 2008 және 2009 жылдары Нью-Гэмпшир елдегі "Ең қауіпсіз штат" деп танылды. CQ Press мәліметінше, Нью-Гэмпширде бүгінде де өлтіру көрсеткіші ең төмен, ал қасақай шабуылдар көрсеткіші елде екінші орында тұр. Линч 2009 жылы марапат туралы хабарланғаннан кейін келесі мәлімдеме жасады:
Lynch worked with the state Attorney General, police chiefs, and lawmakers to pass sex offender laws; increase the state police force; and increase the number of state prosecutors. New Hampshire was rated the "Safest State" in the Nation in 2008 and 2009. New Hampshire again boasts the nation's lowest murder rate and the second lowest rates for aggravated assault, according to CQ Press. Lynch issued the following statement after the announcement of the award in 2009:
Біз бірлесіп жұмыс істегеннің арқасында Нью-Гэмпширді елдегі "Ең қауіпсіз штат" ретінде сақтап отырғаныма қуаныштымын. Төмен қылмыс деңгейі осы штатты тұруға және жұмыс істеуге тамаша орын етіп келді, сондықтан біз өмір сапасын жоғары деңгейде ұстау үшін жұмыс істеуіміз керек. Осы құрметтің арқасында, Нью-Гэмпшир полиция қызметкерлерінің қауіпсіздігімізді қамтамасыз ету үшін күн сайын еңбек ететін ерлер мен әйелдеріне алғыс айтуға уақыт бөлуіміз қажет.
I am proud that working together we continue to keep New Hampshire the 'Safest State' in the nation. Our low crime rate has long been a part of what makes this such a great place to live and work, and it is important that we work to maintain our high quality of life. With this recognition, we should take time to thank the hard working men and women of New Hampshire law enforcement who work every day to help keep us all safe.
Өлім жазасы
Линч билікте болған кезінде өлім жазасын қолдады, "өте қатыгез қылмыстар бар, онда өлім жазасы қажет" деген мәлімдеме жасады. 2009 жылдың наурыз айында Нью-Гэмпшир штатының Өкілдер палатасы өлім жазасын жою туралы заң қабылдады, бірақ Линч оны ветолаумен қорқытты. Вето қаупі болғандықтан, Сенат сол жылдың сәуір айында заң жобасын қарауды кейінге шегерді. Маусым айында Линч заң шығарушылармен келісімге келіп, Нью-Гэмпшир штатының өлім жазасын зерттеу комиссиясын құру туралы заңға қол қойды. 2010 жылдың желтоқсан айында Комиссия 12 дауысқа 10 дауыспен өлім жазасын сақтауды ұсынды. Дегенмен, комиссия мүшелері бірауыздан оны кеңейтуге қарсы болды. 2011 жылы Линч өлім жазасын үйге шабуыл жасау қылмыстарына да қатыстыру туралы заңға қол қойды.
Lynch upheld the death penalty while in office, stating "there are crimes so heinous that the death penalty is warranted." The New Hampshire House of Representatives passed legislation in March 2009 to abolish the death penalty, which Lynch threatened to veto. Due to the veto threat, the Senate tabled the legislation in April of that year. In June, Lynch compromised with legislators and signed legislation to form the New Hampshire Commission to Study the Death Penalty. In December 2010, the Commission recommended, by a 12 to 10 vote, to retain the death penalty. However, the panel unanimously recommended against expanding it. In 2011, Lynch signed legislation to expand the death penalty to include home invasions.
Табиғи апаттарға қарсы іс-қимыл
2006 жылдың сәуірінде Линч 2005 жылғы су тасқыны кезіндегі басшылығы үшін Американдық Қызыл Крест ұйымынан "Еріктілердің ұлттық төрағасы" сыйлығымен марапатталды.
In April 2006, Lynch was awarded the "National Chairman of Volunteers" Award for Volunteer Excellence by the American Red Cross, due to his leadership during the 2005 floods.
Бір жынысты некелер
2009 жылдың 3 маусымында Линч жеке пікірінде гомосексуалдық некелерге қарсы болғанына қарамастан, бір жынысты некеге рұқсат беретін заңға қол қойды, соның нәтижесінде Нью-Гэмпшир АҚШ-та мұндай одақтарға жол беретін бесінші штат болды.
On June 3, 2009, Lynch signed a same sex marriage bill into law, despite being personally opposed to gay marriages, making New Hampshire the fifth state in the United States to allow such unions.
Тарихи танымалдылығы
Сегіз жылдық өкілеттік мерзімі бойы Линч өте жоғары беделге ие болды, көбінесе АҚШ-тың ең танымал губернаторларының қатарында саналды. Нью-Гэмпшир университеті жүргізген WMUR/Granite State сауалнамасы бойынша, 2005 жылғы қаңтарда қызметке келгеннен кейін үш ай өткен соң Линчтің беделділігі 50%-дан асып, өкілеттік мерзімі бойы 55%-дан жоғары деңгейде сақталды. Сонымен қатар, 2006 жылғы ақпаннан 2009 жылғы ақпанға дейін оның беделділігі 70%-дан асып түсті. 2012 жылғы сәуірде Линчтің беделділігі тағы да 70%-дан жоғары болды, бұл оны Нью-Йорк губернаторы Эндрю Куомодан кейін АҚШ-тың екінші ең танымал губернаторы етіп көрсетті. Линч екі партиялық қолдауға ие болды және штат тарихындағы ең беделді губернатор атанды.
Throughout his eight year tenure, Lynch enjoyed very high approval ratings, often being ranked among the most popular of U. S. governors. According to the WMUR/Granite State Poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire, just three months after taking office in January 2005, Lynch's approval rating surpassed 50% and stayed upwards of 55% throughout his tenure. Likewise, between February 2006 and February 2009 his approval rating was above 70%. In April 2012, Lynch's approval rating was again above 70% making him the second most popular governor in the United States, behind New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Lynch enjoyed bipartisan support and is the most popular governor in the state's history.
Президенттің мақұлдауы
2008 жылғы Демократиялық президенттік праймериз кезінде Линч Нью-Гэмпширден шыққан сегіз суперделегаттың бірі болды. Губернатор ретінде ол "праймеризге жақсы үй иесі болуға" ден қою қажеттігіне байланысты Нью-Гэмпшир штатының праймеризі кезінде бейтараптығын сақтады, деп мәлімдеді баспасөз хатшысы Колин Мэннинг. 2008 жылдың 27 маусымында Нью-Гэмпшир штатының Юнити қаласында өткен шарада Линч Барак Обаманы президенттікке ресми түрде қолдады. Линч 2012 жылғы президенттік сайлауда Барак Обаманы қолдады. Линч 2016 жылғы президенттік сайлауда бұрынғы мемлекеттік хатшы Хиллари Клинтонды қолдады. Линч 2020 жылғы президенттік сайлауда бұрынғы вице-президент Джо Байденді қолдады.
During the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries, Lynch was one of eight superdelegates from New Hampshire. Lynch remained neutral during the New Hampshire primary because as governor he needed to "focus on being a good host to the primary", according to a statement by spokesman Colin Manning. At an event on June 27, 2008 in Unity, New Hampshire, Lynch formally endorsed Barack Obama for president. Lynch endorsed President Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. Lynch endorsed former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, in the 2016 presidential election. Lynch endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
