New
Hampshire’s Andy Martin will announce he is running for congress in the Granite
State’s First District. Andy recently returned from his second trip to Ukraine.
He will run as a strong supporter of providing assistance until Russia is completely ejected from
Ukraine. “Supporting Ukraine is the
existential challenge of our time,” Andy says. “We cannot repeat the mistakes of
the 1930’s and reward mass murders for attacking peaceful nations.
To pretend we can isolate and insulate America from what happens in the rest
of the world is a mass delusion.”

(Andy’s letter
continues)
I have just returned
from my second trip to Ukraine. In a few days I will assemble my notes and
provide you with a detailed analysis.
I am very
concerned that isolationist elements in the Republican Party want to abandon Ukraine
and repeat the mistakes the United States made during the 1930’s, when we pretended
we could “isolate” ourselves from Europe’s problems, and at the end of World War
II, when we abandoned Eastern Europe to Russia.
The
disinformation about Ukraine that spews forth today from Fox News and elements
of the Republican Party is distressing.
While I am a strong
supporter of Ukraine, I do not support President Biden’s policy of endless stalling
that only prolongs the bloodshed and unnecessarily increases the financial cost
of the war.
Make no mistake:
those who tell us we can abandon Ukraine, and run and hide - somewhere – are providing
false information and raising false hopes. Mass murderers such as the Moscow
madman Putin never stop at one conquest. All of Europe would eventually fall
under Russian domination if we abandon Ukraine.
While Europe
collectively is a large land mass with a substantial population, the continent
is divided into small countries that need centralized support to be effective. We
tried to avoid World War I and were dragged in. We pretended we could avoid World
War II and were once again dragged in. After World War II we remained, and created
a security structure that has endured for eighty years. The Greatest Generation
left us a significant legacy. We should not squander that inheritance.
Moreover, what
happens in Europe doesn’t stay in Europe. China is watching. If the west
surrenders Europe, an Asian war over Taiwan also becomes inevitable.
In the coming
week I will provide a detailed analysis of the Ukrainian situation, as well as
a tightly focused plan for my campaign.
The First District
is a Republican leaning district. In 2018 I supported Eddie Edwards. Unfortunately,
after winning the nomination, Edwards torpedoed his own campaign within a few
days. In 2020, I thought Matt Mowers could win. In 2022, Republicans nominated
a candidate without any experience or credentials to serve in congress, and she
was defeated even more soundly than her two predecessors. Despite talk of a “red
tide” and sixty Republican seats being picked up, Republicans barely recovered
the House. 2024 looks to be a very difficult year.
New Hampshire is
closely divided politically. The state house is split 50-50. The state senate
has a Republican majority. Yet the congressional delegation is composed of 100%
radical socialists. Obviously, for the last decade, GOP congressional candidates
have not resonated with New Hampshire voters. I am probably the only New
Hampshire Republican who can connect with general election voters.
The last time we
elected a Republican from the First District he was undermined and eventually defeated
by the Union Leader, Jennifer Horn and Kelly Ayotte. We literally defeated one
of our own.
So whatever
Republicans have done in the past decade hasn’t worked. That’s the sad truth.
The First
District has a very large segment of voters who are highly educated and very sophisticated.
Tired slogans and paranoid conspiracy theories do not sell among Republicans or
independents. Dingbat campaigns have not worked in the First District in the
past, and they won’t work in 2024.
I am an unusual candidate
in that I am not a party favorite in the primary; but I would be the strongest candidate
in the general election. The Democrats know that; Republicans need to listen
up.
Please feel free
to share your views with me.
In closing, on
the way home from Ukraine I stopped at the Polin Museum of Jewish History in Warsaw.
2023 marks eighty years since the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, in which a few
hundred Jews took on the German army. I was profoundly affected by the bravery
of the men and women who fought for their freedom. The General Milleys of WW II
had abandoned Europe’s Jews. They were forced to fight for themselves. Ukrainians
are fighting for themselves. They are only asking for our assistance, not our
soldiers. We cannot abandon them.
Best wishes,
Andy
