Subject: A question from a voter, and an offer to publish your answer in full

Dear Mr. Austin,

I live in Andover, in the 2nd Congressional District, so you are on my ballot in November. I write about local government at andoverct.info, and I should say plainly that I co-chair the Andover Democratic Town Committee. This letter is my own, sent in my own name.

I have one question, and I would rather put it to you directly than guess at the answer.

Will you publicly disavow Donald Trump?

By that I mean a statement in your own name that he does not represent you and does not have your support. Not a comment on a single policy, and not a statement about the party in general.

I am aware that you have written that Mr. Trump and Secretary Kennedy are "finally talking about the real sources of our health-care crisis," and that you have also criticized the "big beautiful bill" as "borrowing from the future." That is not what I am asking about. I am asking whether you will disavow him now.

I have asked the same question, in the same words, of Ryan Fazio, Steve Weir, Jenn Jennings, and Jason Guidone. Whatever you send me I will publish in full and unedited, with the question and the date, at http://andoverct.info/reports/ahm/disavowal/. If you would rather answer somewhere else, in the Rivereast or on your own page, that is fine. Point me to it and I will link it.

That page also quotes, with links, some of what you have said about Mr. Trump before now: your April 22 press release and two podcast interviews. If I have quoted you wrongly, or left out context that matters, tell me and I will correct it.

If you have already answered this publicly and I have missed it, send me the link and I will say so.

I plan to publish on September 17, 2026 and to update through the election. There is no deadline. An answer at any point gets added.

Thank you for your time.

Scott Sauyet

The headers doing evidentiary work are shown. 2 other header fields were withheld — routing records, which carry originating IP addresses, and spam-filter scores, which characterize a sender. The full block is retained and will be produced if the authenticity of this message is disputed.

A DKIM signature is strong evidence that a message arrived as sent, not proof: verifying one needs the body byte-exact and the sending domain's key still published, and campaign keys rotate.
