CONWAY — A candidate who doesn’t see a clear path to the White House, former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford would consider it "a win” if he can bring attention to the $23 trillion national deficit and see the GOP return to a party for the people.
Sanford, 59, was in the Mount Washington Valley last Friday with stops at Kennett High School, the Gibson Center for Senior Services in North Conway and an editorial board at the Sun.
