Question: What American lawyer and Republican politician from Manchester, New Hampshire, won the 1994 New Hampshire gubernatorial election?
Context: John William King (October 10, 1918 – August 9, 1996) was an American lawyer, jurist, and Democratic politician from Manchester, New Hampshire.  He received his law degree from Columbia Law School in 1943.  He practiced law in Manchester and served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives.  In 1962 he was elected Governor of New Hampshire, becoming only the third Democratic Governor of the Granite State in 88 years, and the first since Fred Herbert Brown lost the 1924 election.  After his three terms as Governor of New Hampshire, he served on the New Hampshire Supreme Court from 1979, and as its Chief Justice from 1981 until 1986. Stephen Everett Merrill (born June 21, 1946) is an American lawyer and Republican politician from Manchester, New Hampshire.  He served as the 77th Governor of New Hampshire from 1993 to 1997. The 2006 New Hampshire gubernatorial election took place on November 7, 2006.  Incumbent Democrat John Lynch defeated Republican James B. Coburn and won a second term as Governor of New Hampshire. The 2014 New Hampshire gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 2014, to elect the Governor of New Hampshire, concurrently with the election to New Hampshire's Class II U.S. Senate seat, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. Samuel Bell (February 9, 1770December 23, 1850) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 14th Governor of New Hampshire from 1819 to 1823, and as the United States Senator for New Hampshire from 1823 to 1835.  Born in Londonderry in the Province of New Hampshire, Bell became a lawyer in the 1790s, and entered politics by becoming a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives in 1804.  In 1806, the year he left the House, he became the head of a bank which during his tenure in that position became the only New Hampshire bank to fail between 1792 and 1840.  A member of the New Hampshire Senate from 1807 to 1809, and an associate justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court from 1816 to 1819, Bell was elected to become the Governor of New Hampshire in 1819 as Democratic-Republican.  Re-elected in 1820, 1821, and 1822 against token opposition, Bell's victory in 1822 was accompanied by the largest share of votes cast for a governor candidate of New Hampshire since John Taylor Gilman's victory in 1795.  Whilst Governor, New Hampshire's crime level fell, and industry within the state prospered.  In 1823, declining to stand again for the governorship, he became a Senator for New Hampshire.  He won re-election in 1829, was the chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Claims, and left the Senate in 1835.  He retired from public life thereafter, and died in Chester, New Hampshire at the age of 80.  He is buried in Chester Village Cemetery, Rockingham, New Hampshire. Frank West Rollins (February 24, 1860 – October 27, 1915) was an American lawyer, banker, and Republican politician from Concord, New Hampshire.  His father, Edward H. Rollins, had represented New Hampshire in the United States Senate.  Frank served New Hampshire in the state's Senate (as its president in 1895) and as governor.  Rollins and others founded the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests in 1901, a private organization to protect the forests now known as the "Forest Society."  A shelter was built in his honor at Lost River in Kinsman Notch, New Hampshire in 1912, and remains there.  As Governor of New Hampshire, he invented and founded "Old Home Week" intended to remind New Hampshiremen to return to their hometowns.  This was in response to the large numbers of people moving to the Midwest (Minnesota in particular) because of the slow economy in the northeast at the time.  He and his father started the investment banking firm of E.H. Rollins and Sons, which became one of the largest in the country by the crash of 1929.  After the crash, it was very diminished and finally closed in the 1940s.  New research shows that Rollins and Senator John Weeks collaborated on the founding of the National Forest Act of 1911, signed by the President William Howard Taft. Charles Henry Bell (November 18, 1823 – November 11, 1893) was an American lawyer and Republican politician from Exeter, New Hampshire.  Bell served New Hampshire in both the New Hampshire House of Representatives and the New Hampshire Senate, as a U.S. Senator, and as governor. The 1994 New Hampshire gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 1994.  Incumbent Governor Steve Merrill won the election. The 2016 New Hampshire gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 2016, to elect the Governor of New Hampshire, concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. The 2018 New Hampshire gubernatorial election will take place on November 6, 2018, in order to elect the Governor of New Hampshire.  Incumbent Republican Governor Chris Sununu is eligible to run for re-election to a second term.
