New Hampshire First
District congressional candidate Andy Martin holds a Manchester news conference
today, Monday, to promise that if he wins the primary, his first priority will
be party unity. “I will offer Eddie Edwards ad Andy Sanborn continuing roles as
co-chairmen of my campaign,” Martin promises. “The incompetent party leadership
pursued a policy of self-destruction and split the party in the process. The
leadership is incapable of practicing what it preaches. I will make a real
gesture, and offer Edwards and Sanborn roles in my fall campaign. I will start
the healing process on September 12th. Neither of my opponents can unite the
party right now. I can. I am the only candidate that can win in November.”

(Manchester , NH September
10, 2018 ) --- Republican congressional candidate Andy Martin holds a
news conference today, Monday, to promise that if he wins the primary, he will
offer his opponents Eddie Edwards and Andy Sanborn roles as co-chairmen in his
campaign.
“On the eve of the primary, the party is split. With all
due respect, I am the only congressional candidate that can unite the warring
factions on the ‘day after.’ I actually have sympathy for Edwards and Sanborn.
They are completely inexperienced candidates at the national level, where
campaigns take on a high-pressure, high-voltage environment. By excluding me
from full participation in the primary campaign, the party leadership ensured
that the other two candidates would declare war on each other. Months ago I
predicted what would happen, and it happened.
“My campaign has been premised on a promise to go to Washington
“The Edwards ‘camp’ and the Sanborn ‘camp’ will not come
together on the ‘day after.’ That is my practical view of the situation. The
may attend a ‘unity breakfast’ but that’s the extent of their ‘unity.’
“On the eve of the primary I have said what I am going to
say about each of them. There are no attacks today.
“I sincerely do not believe Mr. Sanborn is remotely
electable. I could have helped him win; the way forward was obvious. But he
chose to adopt a confrontational campaign style and it has doomed his efforts
in November. He is obviously tied too closely to Chairman Wayne McDonald, who I
call the Joker, and other party leaders.
“Likewise, I would have advised Mr. Edwards to approach his
opponent from a slightly different angle. Edwards’ advisers chose their own
approach. I do not believe Sanborn voters will be willing to embrace Edwards.
“None of this had to happen. The candidates ourselves have
shown we can campaign together with honest differences of opinion. It was the
incompetent party leaders, led by the ever-useless McDonald-the-Joker, who
insisted that the three campaigns go to war against each other.
“If you have not yet seen the Union Leader/WMUR televised
debate, here is a link:

“I believe a fair-minded assessment of my performance is
that I am the only candidate who is in ‘sync’ with First District voters. The
district voted Republican last time on the strength of Donald Trump’s
coattails. This November the GOP candidate will not have a tailwind. He will
have a headwind to overcome. This is an
evenly-divided district. My campaign of reconciliation and civility is the only
way forward.
“I will have a closing message this evening in which I
explain why I feel so strongly about my approach. Some have misinterpreted my
approach as someone wanting to go ‘half-way’ with Democrats. That is not the
case. But I want to go all the way with
civility and decorum. The Democratic program of hatred and hostility towards
President Trump is undermining America
“I worked on Capitol Hill when people actually spoke to
each other, and laughed with each other, and teased each other over their
policy differences. Republicans were still Republicans and Democrats were still
Democrats, but civility made us a stronger nation. We had one united foreign
policy, not a foreign policy for every senator who thought he should be
president.
“I will also counsel our president, who can get a little
frisky with his smart phone, to adopt my approach. As the only candidate who
met Donald Trump forty (40!) years ago, I am someone the president will pay
serious attention to. Neither Sanborn nor Edwards will have the ear of the
president. I will.
“Trump needs me on Capitol Hill.
“New Hampshire Republicans need to nominate someone who can
win, not someone who has been telling them what they want to hear at party
functions. Truth-telling and tough love is the only way forward to victory.
“I can win. I will serve New Hampshire Washington
