Andy has always cared about his constituents and worked tirelessly for all the people he represented. He will continue to do this when he represents his district in Congress.

State Representative Glenn Cordelli
Andy Sanborn has been a common sense voice for taxpayers in the New Hampshire Senate, and he will not change when he gets to Washington DC. He will stand strong upon principle and will not be upset if he does not get invited to the brie and finger sandwich parties.
Andy has my full support and I hope yours also.

Former State Representative Cameron DeJong
It is certainly early in the campaign season for the US House and the fact remains that many qualified candidates may step up to the plate. It is easy for me to look past that and endorse Andy Sanborn for the First District Congressional race in New Hampshire. Integrity, relationships and consistency are three terms that immediately come to mind when I think about Andy and the work he does in business and as an elected official. He doesn’t hold his finger in the wind to determine his views on issues. He keeps his fingers firmly and consistently on the text of our state and federal Constitutions. We can depend on Andy to uphold our Constitution and work together across the political spectrum in areas of common agreement. I look forward to helping Andy Sanborn in his primary and in his campaign all the way through November 2018.

State Representative Kevin Scully
Andy Sanborn is the person NH Congressional District 1 desperately needs to help right the ship of State in Washington DC. His four terms in the NH Senate have given us all ample time to see who he is and what he stands for; I like what I see.
Andy is the real deal, and he is exactly who we should send to help fix a broken Federal system. Andy epitomizes NH values of personal freedom, limited government, and local control. Washington doesn’t need to save us, we can save ourselves, if we can get a too-big nanny-state Federal government out of our way. Andy will help clear the way so we can once again pursue our own individual American Dreams.
I urge you so send Andy to Washington; they really need his ability, leadership, and NH values down there.

Harold Turner
President/CEO – The HL Turner Group IncWalking the walk, not just talking the talk: Since first meeting Andy Sanborn, even before he entered politics, he demonstrated he was a man of action, not words. He was fighting back against the proposed expansion to the LLC tax in New Hampshire……. a job killer piece of bad legislation. As a long time, self- made business owner, he understood what it really meant to be a small business owner like myself. I respected him for that, and also for how he has tried to represent real people, who work for a living, while serving us in the New Hampshire State Senate.
What more can I ask for in my elected representative than to actually work for me and not the other way around. Sometimes that also means not just going with the flow, or going along to get along. That’s when you know you found someone who is trying to do what’s right, not what’s easy or convenient. That’s Andy Sanborn in a nutshell ………. a “regular” person who is ready and willing to roll up his sleeves to cook the pasta …….. and get the job done too!
I know he will bring New Hampshire values to Washington, not the other way around.

State Representative Howard Pearl
Andy exudes the true spirit of NH. As a dedicated husband and public servant, Andy has excelled at striking that delicate balance of constituent service and fiscal conservancy that make him the right choice for NH. He will bring the NH message of “low taxes equal low spending” to Washington. I’m proud to support Andy Sanborn for Congress in District 1.

Peter Crowell
CitizenThe folks that voted for Trump have been on the “short end” for a long, long time. I feel Andy will work on fixing that.

Director, Coalition of NH TaxpayersAndy has always been a likeable, down-to-earth and very approachable person. He has always looked out for the taxpayer at the State level and I believe we would be able to look forward to the same concern at the federal level. I encourage everyone to support Andy!

Michael Thornton
Member of the ZBA, Milford, NHAndy is a fair, determined, and tenacious advocate for the people of his current district as a NH State Senator and there is no reason to expect him to change his stripes as our United States Senator. Your vote for Andy will certainly assure you of the best representation that you can have pulling for you in the Washington D.C. circus. His voice of reason and responsible leadership could be the singular truly conservative vote giving us the programs we need and discarding the fluff that costs so much and returns so little. Vote for Andy and be assured that you have the best possible representation possible.

VaxChoiceNHNH has been fortunate to have such a smart and compassionate state senator with Andy Sanborn. No one works harder for the people he represents than Senator Sanborn. And no one works harder to protect individual rights and choices when it comes to insurance choices, medical care, and health freedom.

State Representative Jess Edwards
Auburn Planning Board MemberI’ve been impressed with Andy since the first time I saw him talk to the Bedford Republican Town Committee. Without notes, Andy spoke in great detail about the NH budget on both the sources and uses of funds. He held everyone’s attention for about 45 minutes talking about the choices we had as a state and what decisions he was making as a Senator. I had spent over two years as an Army Budget Officer and had never witnessed anyone with Andy’s command of the subject. Beyond that, his principles of small government were really what I found to be the most impressive. We need Andy in DC…. now.

Stephen Mathieu
President, Legacy Financial SolutionsAndy has been a strong, principled State Senator. He has consistently supported and promoted issues that help families, help NH businesses and help those who work and pay taxes. He is a strong advocate for 2nd Amendment rights, and has fought to repeal the disaster known as Obamacare. He will make a great Congressman!

Stephen Bradbury
Retired Commercial BankerI met Andy about 30 years when we were both working in the Banking Industry. He has always been a very hard working and problem solving type of individual.
He has dedicated many years of his life to public service and I am very pleased he has decided to run for Congress.
I am very pleased to endorse him.

John Schneller
Bedford Town CouncilSenator Sanborn has worked tirelessly to represent the interests of the Bedford community and his district since he was first elected. He is a common sense fiscal conservative, a small business owner and an entrepreneur. I am proud to endorse my fellow Granite Stater, Andy Sanborn, as a candidate for United States Congress.

The Honorable Andy is one of my favorite state senators. He is extremely approachable, always willing to hash out issues. Also, he does his homework, so he’s usually the best-informed guy in the room. He won’t be just a back bencher in Washington.

State Representative James Spillane
Rockingham District 2Andy Sanborn has been a long-time champion for small business, and economic growth in NH. With Andy in Congress, the people of New Hampshire will have an advocate fighting to allow them to keep more of their hard-earned wages, protect their constitutional rights, and create prosperous growth through well-grounded economic policy.

Senate President Peter Bragdon
I am proud to fully endorse and stand by Andy Sanborn’s run for Congress in the 1st Congressional District. As President of the NH Senate during Andy’s early tenure, I have seen and know first-hand how well Andy has conducted himself and how effective he is at fighting for everyday people. Andy has been a conservative conscience in the Senate and continually led the charge to cut taxes, cut regulation, reform how government runs and restore common sense to the process. Andy is an authentic, honest, straight talking idea factory who will be ready to work for the people of NH on day one.
-
Senator Harold F. French
I am very pleased to publicly support, endorse and recommend to others, my friend and Senate colleague Andy Sanborn who is running for the Congressional D1 seat.
Having known him as both his constituent as well as a colleague I have been given a unique vantage point to see this man from different sides. I personally know Andy runs and serves for one purpose and one alone, to serve those he represents with a strong voice, a voice of experience and a voice of reason. A voice that speaks for all those who he represents, a voice that will not be quieted by those who disagree.
He does his work, he knows the issues and he stands firmly in his position when he knows he is right.
I know when Andy gets to Washington he will represent NH with a type and style of representation that we have not had for years. The very same style that he has honed in his years serving in the NH State Senate. He will not be silent, sitting idly by, but will lead other fiscal conservatives to do what is right for NH and the Country. He will be heard and with his voice in Washington the voices of NH voters will once again be heard in Congress.
We have to send a true, anti-tax, conservative to represent us and with the election of Andy Sanborn, that is exactly what we will be doing.
-
Senator John Gallus
Having served with Andy in the NH Senate, I know he is a stand-up guy who works hard for the people in the North Country even though he is from southern NH. He cares deeply for the people of New Hampshire and has proven his ability and willingness to be there when people need help.
From working with me get the “Ride The Wilds” going in the north country, to helping people from Seabrook to Keene, he will be there for anybody who is in need.
Andy has always done what is right over what is political. As a 4th generation native and small business owner, he knows how too much government gets in the way and makes life harder. Frankly, Andy just “gets it.”
I am really excited to hear Andy is running for Congress in the first congressional district and I am asking everyone to come together vote for Andy.
-
Senator Jim Forsythe
Having been a State Senator who shared an office and worked closely with Andy, I couldn’t be more proud and supportive of his decision to run for Congress to represent the people of NH.
A Proven liberty conservative with a deep policy understanding, Andy’s ability to solve complex problems without necessarily growing the size and scope of government is a testament to his skill set. Fearless in his ability and willingness to stand up for what is right, he fights for everyday hard working people and has never been afraid to push back against the political establishment. If you want a representative who will defend you against wayward politicians, Andy is your guy.
It’s time for a change in who is representing us in Washington and no one will work harder and work for the people, than Andy. He has always put the people of New Hampshire first and I know he will be a breath of fresh air for all of us.
-
Senator Tom Deblois
As a small business owner, Andy has a real understanding of what families and small businesses are going through and how the federal government can help or hinder growth. As a former Senator and business owner myself, I’ve seen Andy advocate for people in his district and across the state, looking for common sense solutions when others cannot. He has been on the front lines to try to combat the opioid problem and the high cost of health care, and will continue to be a very important and effective voice for us on these and other issues when he represents NH in Congress. While other liberal Republicans advocated for and implemented Obamacare, Andy fought against it because he knew how badly it would hurt New Hampshire families.
He stands for us, he fights for us and he is the real deal, so please support Andy Sanborn for Congress.
-
Senator Sam Cataldo
Having had the honor and pleasure of serving in the NH Senate with Andy, I can tell you first hand that he is a strong conservative and someone who works hard for the people of our state.
Andy is not one to go along with the status quo. He always asks good questions and has a clear command of the issues before making a policy decision. In fact, he usually brings up great ideas that no one else has thought of.
Carol Shea Porter has been a real disappointment; we need someone who will work hard and fight for NH and that person is Andy Sanborn. I hope you will join me in supporting him because he’s the best person for the job and the one who can win the election.
