Laurie Sanborn is an American politician in the state of New Hampshire. She is a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, sitting as a Republican from the Hillsborough 41 district, having been first elected in 2012.

Controversy[edit]

In 2023, Sanborn resigned as chairwoman of the Commission to Study the Effect of Recent Changes Made to the Charitable Gaming Laws. This happened after she was named in an investigation of her husband, former State Senator Andy Sanborn, and his alleged illegal use of $844,000 in pandemic assistance.[5]
