Sanborn's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[14]
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."

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
