New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu doesn’t just use his political powers to pardon bears.

The governor stepped in on Wednesday to help out Wendy Auger, a Rochester mother who was asked by the Division of Motor Vehicles this month to turn in her vanity license plates, “PB4WEGO,’’ because they were in violation of the state’s codes.

“Upon this being brought to my attention, I reached out to the Division of Motor Vehicles and strongly urged them to allow Wendy to keep the license plate she has had for the last 15 years,’’ Sununu said in a statement. “I recently left a message on her phone to share the good news that her plate will not be recalled.’’
