Former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen's (D-Madbury) campaign says U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley) should answer questions about a 2004 fishing trip Sununu took with now-indicted U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska).

In 2004 Sununu attended the Kenai River Classic with Stevens and an executive from VECO Corporation. Stevens was indicted last week for making illegal statements about campaign donations he received from the Alaska-based oil company.

Former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury) is calling on U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley) to return money he has received from embattled U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska).

Stevens was indicted today on charges that he lied to investigators about money he received from an energy company based in his state.

CORRUPT OIL CASH: SUNUNU HAS RECEIVED $45,000 IN CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM INDICTED ALASKA SENATOR TED STEVENS

Shaheen campaign calls on Sununu to return tainted money

(Manchester, NH) – Today, as Alaska Senator Ted Stevens is indicted on felony corruption charges, John Sununu's campaign continues to be funded by $45,000 in tainted campaign contributions that he has received from Stevens, at least $65,000 that Stevens has raised on behalf of Sununu's campaign and the $4000 he has yet to return from the Veco oil pipeline construction company that is at the center of the Stevens corruption case.
