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.

(Manchester, NH) - The New Hampshire Democratic Party today released a web video calling on John Sununu to return $39,000 in tainted contributions linked to Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska who faces a seven count federal indictment for perjury. Over the course of his career Sununu has received $45,000 in contributions from Stevens directly and another $6,000 from executives at VECO, an oil company connected to Stevens' alleged crimes. While Sununu announced he would return $10,000 of the tainted money he received from Stevens and $2,000 of the tainted money from VECO employees, he is keeping the remaining $39,000.
