New Hampshire congressional candidate Andy Martin says that
State Senator Andy Sanborn is “dead on arrival” as a congressional candidate in
2018 in the wake of a second round of investigations and grand jury review of
an incident involving Andy Sanborn taking place in 2013. “The Democrats are
salivating at the prospect of unleashing a woman, Maura Sullivan, to attack
Sanborn for failing to see a connection because Sanborn’s admitted ‘crass
language’ and his unfitness to serve in congress,” Andy Martin says. “Sanborn
is not a viable candidate in 2018 and he should withdraw because he creates a
potential fiasco for the entire Republican ticket in New
Hampshire .”

Dear Andy:
This is a difficult letter to write. But in the interest of
New Hampshire Republicans I am compelled to ask you to withdraw as a candidate
for congress in 2018. I believe the basis for your withdrawal is compelling. I
further believe that if you do not withdraw, your potential presence on the
November ballot could endanger Republican candidates in both state and federal
races.
1. You have accused your “political enemies,” i. e. “liberal
Democrats, of conspiring to defame you (Union Leader 12/9/17 ). But both of the investigations involving your admitted
misconduct were directed by Republican
senate presidents, Peter Bragdon and Charles Morse. So the claim that Democrats
have been out to get you is so hollow it borders on a lie.
2. You admitted to the Union Leader (12/9/17 ) that you used “crass language,”
apparently directed at a state employee. You then tried to minimize your
misconduct, by seeking to trivialize your self-admitted crass conduct, saying
“it is disgusting that anyone is trying to equate a crass joke to all the real
challenges women are facing…” (Union Leader 12/9/17 )
By your own admission you are unaware that the use of “crass
language” is one of the most serious forms of sexual misconduct. How stupid is
that? What do you think Ray Buckley’s smear machine will make of your own admissions? Your own
words! Maura Sullivan will rip you to shreds.
3. Senate President Peter Bragdon opened an investigation in
2013. Thousands of dollars were paid to an out-of-state law firm to
investigate. A cash envelope was handed to a state employee, the purpose,
amounts and connection to you remain opaque, even after five years and two
investigations. Bragdon is a Republican. Morse is a Republican. They acted
because of the undeniable appearance of impropriety.
Last year Senate Chares Morse asked for a new investigation,
the second one. Eighteen (18!) tapes exist. The Attorney General presented the
matter to a grand jury. Vital facts are still in dispute and unresolved.
You have denied you committed a crime.
4. While I am seeking full disclosure of all evidence under New
Hampshire ’s Right-to-Know law and I will be moving
expeditiously to ensure that release, I agree that you probably did not commit
a crime. I am reserving final judgment until the tapes and evidence are
released to the public. But that misses the point.
Most boorish behavior and sexual harassment is not criminal,
it is a civil offense and an affront to civilized of professional behavior. The
quotations attributed to you in the Union Leader show you have no idea that
your behavior was despicable and unlawful as a civil matter.
5. Your misconduct cost taxpayers tens of thousands, perhaps
hundreds of thousands of dollars in both outside legal fees and insider state
employee time to investigate your incident twice.
Assistant Attorneys General were paid, investigators had to assemble the
evidence. That activity cost taxpayers a small fortune. You claim the
investigations were all about nothing. Then why did the matter end up in front
of a grand jury? Are you suggesting the Attorney General presents frivolous
matters to a grand jury for review? The answer is obvious.
6. Nevertheless, the finding that no crime was committed is
irrelevant. Your conduct does not have to be criminal to render you unfit to
serve in congress. So the “I am not a criminal” defense is unavailing.
You yourself have admitted to unlawful behavior that would
get you fired in the private sector. Are the New
Hampshire state legislature’s morals any less
exacting? They literally had to “change the rules” after your misconduct. In
the law of evidence, subsequent remedial conduct (by the state senate) is
evidence of prior unlawful behavior.
7. I hope you will heed my experienced analysis and withdraw
or not file by the close of the filing period on June 15th. Your withdrawal,
however, will not stop my Right-to-Know demands to the Senate President, the
Attorney General and the Grand Jury (the grand jury’s secrecy can be overridden
in a public matter such as yours). There will be no cover-up. Too many
questions still remain.
8. You could also undermine your wife’s candidacy for state
house speaker. That would be unfortunate. She was present and witnessed your
self-admitted crass behavior. The best approach? Withdraw by tomorrow, and
consider a run in 2 years when matters will have quieted down.
9. And don’t think the liberal media, the Union Leader and
WMUR, will save you. Two years ago I exposed that Jim Lawrence, who claimed to
be a “small businessman” had “no business” at all, because his business had
been dissolved by the state. The federal government had barred him from bidding
on most federal contracts, while Lawrence
continued to masquerade as a government contractor. Lawrence
had unpaid taxes. All of this information was basic public information and
should have been presented to Republican primary voters by honest media.
But New Hampshire ’s
fake news media concealed the truth from voters.
The Union Leader and WMUR censored my campaign to cover up Lawrence ’s
misconduct. They treated a “fake candidate,” Lawrence, as though he was a
serious candidate despite all of the evidence to the contrary, and they held
back the evidence until it was too late for Republicans to vote against Lawrence
in the primary. Then they smeared Lawrence
just in time to reelect one of the wildest liberals in congress, Annie Kuster.
The same fate lies store for you. The liberal media will
play possum until after the primary and then “discover” the evidence in time to
elect Maura Sullivan.
Pull out, lie low and wait to see what materializes in 2020.
That is your best course, really your only course, whether you want to admit it
or not.
Sincerely,
Andy Martin
