State senate candidate Andy Sanborn (R-Loudon) will be hosting a fundraising event at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway next week.

"Sure, golf tournaments may be fun, but wouldn't you rather experience the thrill of riding around NH Motor Speedway in a fast, exotic race car?" the fundraising appeal states.

Concord business owner Andy Sanborn (R-Loudon) and former state rep. Larry Elliott (R-Antrim), who are both running for the opportunity to challenge freshman state Sen. Harold Janeway (D-Webster), agree on the message, but the question for their primary is who can get that message out.

Both Republican Seante District 7 candidates said they are running on a message of lower government spending.

State senate candidate Larry Elliott (R-Antrim) has launched a campaign website.

Elliott is competing in the Senate district seven Republican primary against Andy Sanborn. The winner will attempt to defeat state Sen. Harold Janeway (D-Webster).
