SD-7

WEARE--State Sen. Harold Janeway (D-Webster) and Andy Sanborn (R-Henniker) participated in their only debate on Weare public television.

In the debate the projected budget deficit and the tax pledge took center stage.

Coming off his win in the state Senate District 7 Republican primary, Andy Sanborn said he is looking forward to a general election race against state Sen. Harold Janeway that he said will focus on the issues.

Sanborn (R-Loudoun) described Janeway (D-Webster) as a "nice guy" and said that the general election race won't "go down in the gutter" the way his primary race against Larry Elliott (R-Antrim) did.

Responding to news that PolitickerNH.com has called the state Senate District 7 Republican primary for his opponent, Larry Elliott simply offered his congratulations.

"My only reaction is that I congratulate him," Elliott told PolitickerNH.com. "I wish him well in the general election."

Elliott was beaten by Andy Sanborn (R-Henniker) in the Republican Primary Tuesday night. Sanborn will go on to face freshman state Sen. Harold Janeway (D-Webster) in the general election.

With 74 percent of precincts reported, PolitickerNH.com has projected that Andy Sanborn will win the state Senate District 7 Republican primary.

Sanborn currently leads state Rep. Larry Elliott (R-Antrim) 56 percent to 44 percent. 

Sanborn (R-Loudoun), a Concord small business owner, edged state Rep. Larry Elliott for the nomination. Sanborn will face state Sen. Harold Janeway (D-Webster) in the general election.
