GraniteGrok Endorsement – NH State Senate District 9: Andy Sanborn

Andy and Laurie Sanborn for NH Senate and NH HouseHappy Warrior time!  We endorsed Andy Sanborn for NH State Senate District 8 last cycle and continuing to support one of our favoritist State Senators, we are doing it again.  As always, we don’t ALWAYS see eye to eye on all of his votes (and yes, he does gets that hang dog look when he sees me walking toward him loaded for bear) but I do have to say, he genially takes what we Groksters dish out.  That said, Andy has been one of the folks that we most agree with most often in the Senate.  His old district, 8, having basically written out from underneath him, he is once again doing the hard work in District 9 (and made me smile in doing it).

Please note that Grokster Steve had personally endorsed Andy a while ago.  All in all, we believe that Andy is a FAR better candidate, and better suited to represent his constituents, than his opponent.

We fully endorse Andy for NH State Senate and ask for your vote for him.

We had done an interview series with Andy back in July – we revisit this after the jump.

Previous Questions:

  • Question 1: Why are you running again?  Didn’t you have enough of the slings and arrows thrown against you as a State Senator?
  • Question 2: Where did the idea of using scooters for door-to-door campaigning; why not Segways?
  • Question 3: RGGI. What happened and why RGGI didn’t get deep sixed?
  • Question 4: Administratively imposed taxes: RGGI-a broad based tax set out by out of State bureacrats.  JLCAR – the ability for Executive Branch to install taxes (fees, fines)  independent of Legislature – get rid of that practice?
  • Question 5: Proper Role of Government-Conservative/Libertarian vs Progressive ideal – which is right?  Reforming what State agencies are tasked to do and how to do it?
  • Question 6: Why haven’t they done it already?  What kind of inertia elements are in place that are stopping this? Technophobia?  Cost? Fear of change?
  • Question 7:  Adversarial relationship between State agencies vs ordinary folks?
