Campaign themes

Sanborn's website highlighted the following campaign themes:

Jobs

Excerpt: "I understand that helping to get government out of the way so we can create jobs is the most important issue today."

The Deficit

Excerpt: "Today, our government spends too much, taxes too much, and over-regulates to the point where it is inhibiting economic expansion. As your Senator, I will bring a Common Sense approach to making our government run more efficiently and work to expand our economic base."

Transparency

Excerpt: "As taxpayers, you have the right to full disclosure on who the State pays and how much as well as the right to review every contract into which our State enters."

Healthcare

Excerpt: "We need to create reform that allows for buying across state lines and allows companies and communities to create their own buying groups."

Education

Excerpt: "I am committed to helping provide the best opportunities to the students of New Hampshire. It starts with parents having a voice, choices, and controls over their children’s education, supported by local control."

Environment

Excerpt: "Our protection of the environment should not come from new or increased taxes but from common sense approaches to shared, responsible use."
