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]
