ndash made him a teetotaler and an avid critic of alcohol and substance use

While working as Chief Edwards opposed happy hour and flavored alcoholic beverages wanted to

strictly regulate night club dress codes and employees and was known for being tougher on

businesses than prior leadership

Edwards also advocated for increasing licensing fees on restaurants up to twentyfold and argued it

would not hurt the economy despite evidence to the contrary

While Edwards received credit for cracking down on alcohol violations he refused to seek the

strongest charges on illegal gambling establishments

the action with the House Ethic Committee Rep Guinta himself said that it was inappropriate and

that he had not been made aware

Commission of illegally hiring a lobbyist accusing the Commission of unfair bias in awarding contracts

and accusing a local politician of improperly inserting himself into a Commission investigation

apply the strictest punishments for establishments found to have illegal gambling a felony offense

into effect and he favors decriminalizing of Marijuana

Edwardsrsquo fervor for enforcing alcohol laws coincides with his views on alcohol generally Edwards

courageous and decrying communities that tolerate alcohol Edwards has favored the prohibition of

two mass-manufactured alcoholic beverages backed policies curtailing nightclubs and strictly

enforced a law barring happy hours Edwards also advocated for raising fees on restaurants which

serve alcohol up to twentyfold and argued that would not hurt the economy

Edwards made three allegations of ethics problems involving the Liquor Commission He alleged

that the Commission hired a lobbyist illegally an accusation the Attorney General found baseless

friend and he testified against the Commission in a lawsuit suggesting a bidding process had been

rigged against a company owned by Brian Law That lawsuit was settled in 2015 costing the

Commission $25 million

Chief had told his people to go out there and surveil this establishment [hellip]Q During your first few conversations

with Representative Eaton before the second search warrant is indicated does he say anything to you that lsquoThis is

Eddies vendetta Its like sticking a needle in my eye Why are you let-ting him do thisrsquo Does any of that sound

familiar to you A Representative Eaton did not use that terminology but that certainly was the implication He had

imparted to me on another occasion when I had asked him following a very lengthy hearing in which I disagreed

with Representative Eaton over how the Enforcement Division should be handled [hellip]Following that hearing I

approached him in the lobby and I asked him lsquoWhy are you doing this What can we do to resolve thisrsquo Q And

his answer was A Get rid of Eddie Edwardsrdquo [Union Leader 8510]

Edwards Said That He Advocated For A Third Party Bidding Process Due To His Perception Of An

ldquoEnergyrdquo Against Brian Law ldquoAccording to Edwards there was an lsquoenergyrsquo among the commissioners and staff

Edwards Advocated For A Measure Which Would Increase Licensing Fees Paid By Restaurants Up To

Twentyfold Claimed It Would Not Harm The Economy

with more than 50 seats Under the current law bars and nightclubs can obtain a restaurant cocktail lounge license

for just $1200 if they sell $75000 worth of food annually but the bill would raise the food sales requirement to

Edwards Was A Member Of The New Hampshire Chiefs of Police Association

The NH Police Association Lobbied To Protect Police Officers With Credibility Issues From Being Put On A

List Provided To Prosecutors So Court Cases Were Not Put In Jeopardy ldquoIn April Sununu and MacDonald

made good on a campaign promise the governor made to the New England Police Benevolent Association and the

New Hampshire Police Association to revise the so-called Laurie List of police officers who have what are

delicately referred to as lsquocredibility issuesrsquo mdash such as lying under oath or falsifying documentation The list exists

because prosecutors are duty-bound to inform criminal defendants of lsquoexculpatoryrsquo evidence that is evidence that

is potentially favorable to the accused Such evidence includes information that raises questions about the

credibility of government witnesses The list is secret and available only to prosecutors so defendants and their

lawyers must rely on them to make good-faith disclosures A key change made by Sununu and MacDonald is that

officers will no longer be placed on the list during misconduct investigations but only after misconduct has been

confirmed And it is now up to the officers themselves to notify prosecutors that they are under investigation if they

are scheduled to be witnesses in a particular case It apparently did not occur to the governor or the attorney general

that trusting an officer whose credibility is at issue to self-report might be a problemrdquo [Valley News 8118]

Officers Worried Their Credibility Issues Would Be Used Against Them ldquoPolice officers believe that

inclusion on the Laurie List now known as the Exculpatory Evidence Schedule can ruin their career because

it surfaces whenever they are potential witnesses As the InDepthNH news website reports lsquoOfficers complain

that they will not be promoted or offered certain positionsrsquo if they are included on the list This is an

understandable concern on their part but beside the point At bottom the legal system depends on the

truthfulness of witnesses and other participants The career of any officer whose material untruthfulness has

been established should be ruinedrdquo [Valley News 8118]

Concord Monitor Some New Hampshire Police Chiefs Were Wiping Problematic Officersrsquo Disciplinary

Records ldquoSome New Hampshire police chiefs have been purging disciplinary records from officersrsquo

personnel files for years raising new questions about whether the secret lsquoLaurie Listrsquo ndash even in its latest May

revision ndash is protecting the constitutional rights of criminal defendants to all favorable evidencerdquo [Concord

Monitor 72618]

The New Hampshire Association Of Chiefs Opposed A Bill Allowing Concealed Carry Without A License

Publicly Calling It ldquoThe Sex Offender And Child Concealed Carry Billrdquo ldquoA state Senate bill that would repeal


the law requiring the licensing requirements to carry concealed handguns appears to be on its way to becoming law

But the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police remains concerned releasing a press release last week

calling the legislation lsquoThe sex offender and child concealed carry billrsquo The Chiefs Association believes the bill

could allow those who canrsquot currently carry concealed handguns the ability to do so Sponsors of the bill say the

Chiefs Association concerns are already addressed in the current bill as well as state and federal law and a

spokesperson for the governor said the governor still plans to sign the bill into law [hellip] If signed into law New

Hampshire would join Vermont Maine and other states in the country that allow those who are legally allowed to

possess guns to carry them concealed without a license New Hampshire already allows those who can legally

possess a gun to carry it openly It cannot be hidden from view such as by a coatrdquo [SeaCoast Online 21917]

New Hampshire Residents Said The NH Association Of Chiefs Of Police Was Lying And Misleading The

Public About The Contents Of The Concealed Carry Bill Ultimately Failing To Protect The Second

Amendment

2009 ndash 2014 Edwards Was Board Member Of The National Endowment For Health

Edwards Was A Board Member For The New Hampshire National Endowment For Health Which Helped

Fund Planned Parenthood Despite Assertions That He Was Personally Pro-Life ldquoEpstein asked Edwards

who said he is adamantly pro-life how he came to sit on a board (New Hampshire Endowment for Health) that

gave funding to Planned Parenthood which provides womens reproductive health care including access to birth

control and abortions lsquoI do not support Planned Parenthoodrsquo said Edwards adding that he is endorsed by former

US senator and pro-life advocate Rick Santorum lsquoI believe life begins at conceptionrsquo Sanborn said that he is pro-

life with lsquostandard exemptionsrsquo He said Endowment for Health gave Planned Parenthood $60000 but said there is

no publicly available documentation of Edwards board vote lsquoIf he didnt vote for it or advocated against it we

continue to ask to see the minutes that show that or we continue to ask why in five years he never resignedrsquo said

Sanborn lsquoI have been on the boards of things I resigned from because I just didnt believe in what they didrsquordquo

Edwards was a firm Trump supporter and received endorsements from Rudy Giuliani and Rick

Santorum

While Edwards criticized his Republican opponent for sexual misconduct he excused Trumprsquos behavior

Edwards was against imprisoning nonviolent drug offenders calling drug abuse a ldquohealth crisisrdquo

Edwards favored eliminating the Department of Education

Despite having previously been in law enforcement Edwards was against banning bump stock or any

other form of gun control

Edwards attended community college to earn his Associatersquos degree took online courses to earn his

Bachelorrsquos degree and has taken two short-term leadership courses

Court records indicate Edwards may have had a warrant in Florida until 2009 for driving on a

suspended or revoked license in 1987

Eddie Edwards is a 50-year-old Republican candidate for New Hampshirersquos First Congressional

District currently held by Rep Shea-Porter Edwards is a Navy Veteran and former law enforcement

officer He is currently a lobbyist and consultant for his own firm

Edwards was raised in a middle class family in Atlanta In his teen years he moved to the projects to

take care of an ailing grandfather In his upbringing Edwards saw problematic substance usage As

a teen he watched a drunk man beat his wife with a brick and Edwardsrsquo father was a crack dealer

Subsequently Edwards has never had a drink of alcohol Florida court records suggest that in 1987

Edwards was cited for driving with a suspended or revoked license and a warrant existed for

Edwards for this offense until 2009 In 1987 Edwards joined the Navy and moved to Portsmouth

After leaving the Navy in 1990 Edwards worked as a corrections officer for five years before joining

the enforcement division of the New Hampshire Liquor Commission

Edwards began working at the Liquor Commission in 1995 was promoted to lieutenant in 2002 and

was made the chief of enforcement in 2005 Edwards took quick action against a number of

Manchester bars and the actions earned him a reputation for strictness from the press Yet

Edwardsrsquo strictness seems to only have applied to alcohol On three occasions Edwards refused to

apply the strictest punishments for establishments found to have illegal gambling a felony offense

Edwards deliberately declined to aggressively enforce the law banning smoking when it first went

into effect and he favors decriminalizing of Marijuana

Edwardsrsquo fervor for enforcing alcohol laws coincides with his views on alcohol generally Edwards

has expressed prohibitionist views suggesting that those who do not abstain from alcohol are not

courageous and decrying communities that tolerate alcohol Edwards has favored the prohibition of

two mass-manufactured alcoholic beverages backed policies curtailing nightclubs and strictly

enforced a law barring happy hours Edwards also advocated for raising fees on restaurants which

serve alcohol up to twentyfold and argued that would not hurt the economy

Edwards made three allegations of ethics problems involving the Liquor Commission He alleged

that the Commission hired a lobbyist illegally an accusation the Attorney General found baseless
